Thread: Post your signs

    Re: Post your signs

    I photographed Popcorn over a period of three years and made nearly 1000 images of him. I’ll post a thread one day on him and post images of his whiskey operation. Here’s are two, one with me talking with him shot by my writer and audio man Tom Jestet and one of Popcorn preparing the still for another run. The still was one of 3 1000 gallon stills he had. You can see what a tiny guy he was. Popcorn weighed in at 85 pounds.

    4 hours after leaving his still house, one of his helpers set fire to it which led to his arrest that night. His helper was angry with him because he was spending too much time with the woman that became his 12th wife and not spending enough time making whiskey.

    A few signs of the past. These date to the late 60's and early 70's.

    These date back about 15 years or so to 2005. The 4th image is from 1970.

    The first is from Pie Town, New Mexico. I believe the second is in Tonopah - maybe Jim Galli can confirm. It was on a shed behind a gas station toward the southeast end of thee main drag, as I recall.
