Apparently, Wednesday nights in Memphis, TN, are for motorcycles on the famous Beale Street. Fortunately, Memphis was our stop this night, and Giles and I had some good food, excellent beer, and plenty to photograph downtown. Beale Street had the energy of Bourbon Street in NOLA, packed into about a block. It seems like everyone was there taking in the atmosphere and admiring the motorcycles.
Later, we had dinner at the famous Charlie Vergo’s Rendezvous (a great place for vegetarians — not) and walked it off in the summer heat back on Beale Street. The next day, before I had to leave for St. Louis, we took in the “Who Shot Rock & Roll” exhibit at the Brooks Museum. Talk about some nostalgia; it contained photos I knew well and some I’d never seen before. If you have the chance, check it out.
Most of the images in the gallery will eventually be available on Regional Imagery for licensing.
