TWENTYSIX MOBILE HOMES A play on Edward Ruscha’s ‘Twentysix Gasoline Stations,’ I made 26 medium format photographs of mobile retirement homes in Palm Springs, California on October 24th, 2018. Filling the frame with the architecture of the dwellings, the composition forces the viewer to examine what is the same, but what is also different between these modest realizations of the American dream. Check out all 26 on my website: https://leah-frances.com/ Thanks!

“It was so ultra-modern when we built it 55 years ago. The diamonds that have our name in them — that was revolutionary. I remember the day my dad got them. We waited until it got dark and went up on the hill and turned around to look at the new sign for the first time - we were just so thrilled and excited to see it.”
5) Gilbert’s Shoes, Philadelphia, PA. Now a collectively-run, not-for-profit, community center.
I revisited the Palmer Diner last night, as seen in my first book, American Squares. Not much has changed. Speaking of…
Hello followers! Hello @staff! I wonder if anyone is out there? If so, hello. I believe my Instagram may have “broken up with me” so I thought I would revisit the world here. Nice to see you.
