What do you mean, there were people everywhere on Beale St and I had my camera on a long shutter speed in a lot of those shots so if anyone was walking by they would basically disappear.

Sick tour.
Memphis looks really good, and with slogans like 'Love, Peace And Chicken Grease', you know I want to go eat there.

awesome work!!!

i was accused of being racist by a panhandler in Memphis. i was taking pics in the late afternoon and the idiot came up behind me from the side and put his hand on my shoulder to start his speel. before he got a whole word out i turned around and yelled "fuckin' get off me!"

he was then like, "who, what's your problem?" i'd had a long, hard week and said that while walking away and he was like, "no,you racist." i yelled "get the fuck out of here before i have you arrested" and he kept mumbling "racist."

i still love memphis though. i should go back sometime.

The historic buildings in this town are drool-worthy.

Yes, they were quite something and a lot of the real old ones from the 1850s and 60s were still around down on the riverfront, pretty amazing they lasted this long. And many of them were being rehabbed and turned into lofts so thats a pretty good thing too.

YAY Memphis....These are some great shots!

Nice thread!

By the way, I'm black, and since I've lived in Memphis I have had too many bums ask me for money. If I can tell they're about to ask for money I usually try to beat them to it and ask them for money first. Lol, the looks you get are priceless.

awesome work. love those night shots

Nice thread. I rarely get approached by any homeless people and there are a lot of them here in Los Angeles. You must give off some sort of vibe that you're approachable.

Great pictures. One time I missed the last subway in downtown San Francisco and this one homeless looking guy approached me and ended up talking for about an hour. He then asked for food so I got him hot dogs and some milk. He was nice, and obviously looked homeless so I thought I would help with just a little.

I love Memphis, though I almost got arrested there for a crime I didn't commit. And I got panhandled more on Beale St than any other place I have been to in the US. Great city though, nice photos too.

Incredible photos. I'd love to see Memphis someday, but, these definitely suffice in the meantime. Thanks!

Bloody awesome! Thanks!

Very cool.

Never been to Memphis, but have been curious about it and the fuss over Beale Street.

Thanks!
