Seen Pigs Fly


I have never seen pigs fly.... that is until today. While traveling through a group of small towns in northern Georgia, I saw quite a few antique shops along the little two lane highway. From Freehome to Macedonia and then on to Lathemtown I drove, all the while glancing at the local shops. All called to me, and yet I didn't stop until I saw pigs fly. Yes, I know you won't believe me until you too see the photos, so here they are. Another reason I stopped was because the name of the little store was just too perfect. It is called "The Green Bean Exchange. You just can't get a better name than that! They have all these wonderful and fun sculptures outside, but inside there were also some beautiful antiques, like an old washing machine with a crank to wring the water out of the clothes, along with some beautiful antique furniture, and quaint little trinkets throughout. The best part of the whole thing was seeing pigs fly!

Photograph Sergio Bustamante's Art in Guadalajara

Sergio Bustamante is one of my favorite artists, and the opportunity to enjoy and photograph his art, fountains, furniture, and sculptures is an amazing experience! On the outskirts of Guadalajara, Mexico lies a small town called Telaquepaque. There are so many exceptional artists in this one small town, and people come from all over the world to experience their art and own it. From glass blowers to basket weavers, all the way to artistic furniture makers and more, can be found in and around this little town. This is where I found Sergio Bustamante's studio and gallery, something new  to experience. I can truly say I want to enjoy his art again and again. Just walking around this small town you can find his sculptures in random places too! He is truly a master of his art!
