talisi, alabama

These are Holga's shot in the sleepy streets of Talasi (now Tallassee), Alabama. The hotel still operates and serves an amazing lunch of gargantuan southern style favorites. The creepier shots are within an abandoned house on Lake Martin. My mom and I decided to take a peek. She brought a steak knife, just in case. Everything appeared as if they had merely left a few things behind except in the kitchen where a bowl of soup sat half-full by a box of Cheez-Its. My inner Nancy Drew was delighted and yet, after reaching the bedroom we were convinced the place was haunted or someone very bizarre was inhabiting it. The bedroom was as unsettling as the photograph and freezing, odd for a summer afternoon in Alabama. These are the finer photos. I will add some Polaroids that have some interesting ghost-like light effects once I can carve some time to scan them in.
