American musician, singer and songwriter Kevin Morby has announced he will present This Is A Photograph Of Memphis at The Gallery at Ace Hotel Brooklyn from May 1-10.
During the writing process of his upcoming full-length album, This Is A Photograph–set to release May 13–Morby was living in Memphis, meditating on his place in the world and the ghosts of the past. He would return to the Peabody Hotel after driving and daydreaming to record ideas with just his guitar and a microphone, and often he would also take breaks to wander the city. He found the once vibrant center of town had developed a haunted quality, and Morby began to capture these surroundings on his Pentax PC35.
These images became This Is A Photograph Of Memphis, which captures the scenery surrounding Morby during those contemplative and prolific times while also introducing him as a talent behind the lens.
