Dreaming of Mom's Kitchen, a photo from Georgia, South

Photographer's Note

This is the second installment in my Holga Americana series. This was taken on Hiway 280 on my way to Providence Canyon. Unique little eateries like this are a southern tradition. Their goods are usually homestyle, quite tasty, and definately not on my diet. As I had already consumed more than I should have for my Thanksgiving fiest the previous day, I passed on the delicious smells eminating from this place, but I couldn't miss out on taking a few snapshots of the back wall. Apparently JC and the boys find the cooking good , so check it out some time when you are in Plains, GA.

Good morning, Grav,
Strange mural to have on the back of Mom's "greasy spoon," where I feel rather sure they are serving something quite different than matzos and gefilte fish. But, heck, it's a famous "dinner" pic, Passover or not, and who knows what matters of eternal import just might take place in a roadside diner??

Seriously, this is really a delightful little slice of the uniquely homegrown "americana" I love to see. (I wonder, is there a small town in the U.S. that does NOT have a "Mom's" restarurant?) Thanks so much for posting it. I look forward to the remainder of your series.

Lisa

Hi Hubert,
I am big fan of the low-fi images of the Holga etc, I recently bought a digital camera witha plastic lens..interesting results. I like the theme too (I have a similar one).
The colours are fantastic, almost impossible to replicate in digital, and the composition, a key to making these cameras artful, is simple and effective here. Cool scene.
Regards
Justin
