Tattoo Parlor, Winslow, Arizona, 2006

If ever a wall spoke of the business within, this one does. An artist has vividly tattooed the façade of the building itself, plunging an anchor into a red heart surmounted by the wings of an angel, and buried in billowing waves. Staffers taking a break are so used to seeing it, they take the incongruity of a tattooed building for granted. But I didn’t.

Good point, Rodney. Everything needs an identity. And that is why we give our pictures titles, and why stores
tell their customers what may be inside.

I find this photo quite interesting. As photographers, we make a photograph, and often give it a label or title. In this case, the store owner also created visual art, and labeled it. Just goes to show regardless of artistic, visual medium, we like to define what we create.
