CONWAY,
Ark. (September 30, 2014) – A new edition of Hendrix art professor Maxine Payne’s
book “Making Pictures: Three for a Dime” is available now through Dust-to-Digital.
The
book, available here,
features photographs taken by the Massengill family, who operated a mobile
photo booth business in 1930s rural Arkansas, and collected by Payne.
The
Massengill family prints and photo albums “illuminate a sliver of the
Depression-era South previously unseen by the public,” according to the Atlanta,
Ga. publisher’s website. The new volume includes introductions by Payne and
curator Phillip March Jones, short remembrances from Lance and Evelyn
Massengill, and a transcribed diary that recounts the difficulties and
successes of the family business in short, powerful bursts.
