Description

There's something about the night air that stirs up the ghosts of the past, and that was the general vibe I was going for in this colorful take of the famous Sun Studio in Memphis, TN, at night. This landmark on the streets of Memphis is widely regarded as the birthplace of Rock N Roll in the 1950's, The list of artists who recorded here in the 50's and 60's is long and includes the greats of Rock, R&B, and Rhythm and Blues. There must surely be ghosts inside those walls and on the streets of Memphis.
