Featured Fade – Saddle Horses For Sale – Del’Osso Farms, Lathrop CA – Ilene Browning
Back in 2009, Enzo and I were on our cross-country tour in our RV and we passed this at about 60 miles an hour and could not figure out how to turn around and get it. My high school buddy Ilene said she lived around there and would snap it for me. It’s only been five years, but it was worth the wait. Thank you Ilene!
Del’Osso farms has the worlds largest corn maze at halloween and site of the Mud Run. – Ilene Browning
Royal Lace Paper Works, Inc – Lorimer Street – Greenpoint, Brooklyn
Gruhn Guitars Revisited – Nashville, TN – August 2009
After posting Alison Fraser’s feature at the end of March, I decided to dig in my archive of our cross-country RV trip and look what I found. I knew it looked familiar!
Maggi Billboard – Olympic Electric – Sayyidah Zaynab Square, Cairo – Uptown Correspondent, Iman R. Abdulfattah
IMAN: My final contribution from Cairo: the ads are rather dull (both the typography and companies advertised), but the high concentration of ads in this area is visually interesting and says a lot about cityscape.
FAB: Just got your upload. So, the Maggi ad is self-explanatory. What does the other one say? I see “olympics” or is that a car logo?
IMAN: The ad on the right is for an appliance company called Olympic Electric, but it is also a palimpsest as the black text is an ad for an advertising company called Diana.
