Foto/Fest 2010 -- Southerners love their guns, and love 'em BIG
Minneapolis photographer Paul Shambroom has a show of work at Foto/Fest in Houston, opening this week, about how we use discarded weapons as memorials to those who died in foreign wars.
The body of work is called Shrines, and you can see more of it here. He finds these sites all over, but the majority of the images in this series so far were made in places like Centerville, Georgia; Anderson, South Carolina; and Buford, Georgia.
Don't you love the South? I can get so depressed.
