"Moving" Art...the silliness continues...

[lindyannajones]

Bisbee, Arizona is a fascinating blend of the Victorian era, the "old west" and the 60's. A walk down Tombstone Canyon leaves you feelings as though you have stepped back in time. Mid-western looking wooden houses, mostly the former homes of miners who worked the Lavender Pit Open Copper mine, are perched precariously on the sides of the canyon with narrow steps--lots of steps--leading up the hills. These photos are some of the art cars that add an element from the 60's. They advertise that Bisbee is an artist friendly community. Here are three samples of "moving art" from Bisbee. (Forgive the quality. They are all 127 mm film from the mid-90's)

I call this one Toy Story Car. The reason is evident.



Here's another view of The Great Fortune Telling Lion car and another called Hula Girl (seen on the bumper).



No surprise here. This is my favorite.

You know, I have often thought that myself. I occasionally look at Art Car websites just to see the creativity expressed by people in their vehicles.

Since you are the master, I am really quite amazed that you would think so. Thank you so much.

I just googled the name of this car and found a photo of the creator of the Great Fortune Telling Lion. She looks like quite a character. Well, she'd have to be, huh?

I use Picnik, the professional version, to put these collages together. They have lots of fun options. It's far out that you like them!

Since I recently took the GFT Lion surfing, it gave me the idea to find these photos and post them while the silly mood was intact. It was so weird to look through photo boxes of prints. I certainly had no idea what I was doing when I took them. My carmera was a $30 point and shoot. It wasn't much but it was the beginning of discovering photography. Thanks, David. I appreciate your comments.

Nice job Lindy, It looks like an interesting place to visit. What part of AZ is Bisbee located in?

Thank You for sharing these !! They are great ! Can you imagine driving around in one of those ?? Gotta have some really big "I just don't care what you think" mentality going,
