Bunkie's Landing - 20 Years Earlier
Back in the 1920's and '30s, Bunkie's Landing was an area that dealt with the more nefarious aspects of commerce. The place was "colorful" enough that years later a story showed up in the Saturday Evening Post, complete with a romanticized illustration. There were hints that the Lint family, from Elgin Park, were heavily involved in the dubious dealings of the place, but enough time had passed that people were content to just use those stories as footnotes to the town's history.
By the time the 1950s arrived, Bunkie's Landing had become the local garbage dump.
On a different note...This is the same set I used for "The Noble, Humble Garbage Truck"

The set itself was so evocative, and almost iconic in the Hollywood noir sense, that I felt compelled to stage another scene. And what better era than the 1930s, complete with a Cadillac Lux-O-Barge?
High end luxury vehicles rubbing shoulders with questionable business practices works every time.
On yet another topic... I was monkeying around with my camera and decided to change the settings on it, and as you can see from the photos, there is a distinct "painterly" look to the images. I'm not sure what happened, but I liked the effect.
