Sorry for the delay. New position with the company has me wore out. I like it, so far but it's exhausting with learning a new department . 20 hrs in 2 days with tons of info. I'll get it though. I'm determined. . . So. #proj180 Ghost signs. #bristoltnva has a handful of #ghostsigns around town. I need to explore Johnson City and Kingsport. . . "The process of hand-painting signs, which often took days, if not weeks, to complete, was an advertising medium that continued well into the 20th century before technological advances in printing began taking over beginning in the 1960s. A painter commissioned to create an original sign would sketch out a design and then charcoal an outline on the building before putting brush to brick. . . Although some see the craftsmanship as a dying art soon to become obsolete, grassroots efforts are springing up across the country to encourage a resurgence in hand-painted signs and murals. But the push signifies an approach to something much greater than nostalgia. It spotlights the value placed on weaving together our history with the modern world." ========================== #proj180 Day 3: pic 2 or 2 ================== After every picture I take over the next week, I will turn 180 degrees and take a picture of something else that is beautiful there, that I would have otherwise missed. The only rule is that it is within sight of the original subject.
