One of the other great things about being in Texas again is access to all of the small ‘typical’ western towns and their architecture. If you just walk the streets, you will find all kinds of interesting things – especially the images of years gone by on the old walls in town.
This weekend, we traveled to Smithville, a small town about 45 minutes east of Austin. It was here that they filmed Hope Floats. It’s becoming quite the little filming location, with several small budget films and some newer ones being done there. While there are only 3,901 people (as listed when you come into town) living there, they have an active film commission that really works hard to get folks to spend time taking or making pictures there. Either one works for them.
I spent plenty of time in the 104 degree temperatures while my wife was looking in all the antique stores. But, I think it was worthwhile, because I came back with some interesting images. I think these will look incredible on metal and they’ll become the foundation for my new collection – Small Town Texas on Metal. I’m looking forward to visiting many of the communities in the area to see just what else I can come up with. I hope you enjoy the first images from what I hope will be a fantastic collection.
