Fair and Balanced Arkansas
 
I know Ive had my share of controversial Arkansas threads on here but this one is an unbiased look at most of the state. I will be updating this thread a lot as I find more photos Ive taken over the years of the state. It will be both photos of the best and worst Arkansas has to offer and I think that these following photos show a fair portrayal of what the state is. This will most likely be my last Arkansas thread since Ill be moving soon.

This isnt Arkansas, but close enough, its Shreveport and I had no where else to post this photo so Ill post it here. I bribed some cleaning lady to let me into a casino hotel room so I could take a photo of downtown.

And this, sir, is a classy thread. No place is all beauty or blight. Being able to show the good and the bad of any place, whether you love it or hate it, is a sign of maturity, depth, and -- yes -- class. Thank you.

Centropolis Sep 10, 2010 11:24 PM

Good job man!

LouisianaRush Sep 11, 2010 12:02 AM

Great shots. Shreveport actually looks cool in that photo.

peanut gallery Sep 11, 2010 12:24 AM

What beautiful photography! I really like the look of Van Buren and Eureka Springs. I love this.

xzmattzx Sep 11, 2010 1:11 AM

Nice pictures. Arkansas doesn't seem too bad, although much of it clearly isn't thriving and prospering. Some of the country grit pictures are pretty cool.

Yes, its a pretty state but it gets incredibly boring living here, believe me.

Awesome thread man. I really like your style of photography. Every photo is beautiful in it's own way. Great stuff.

i_am_hydrogen Sep 12, 2010 12:46 AM

Definitely an interesting array of shots, many of which are quite compelling. I particularly like the shot of the cooling tower. Great work.

Fort Smith National Historic Site, this was the western frontier back in the 1800s. Right across from this fort was the Oklahoma Territory. The fort was also a major staging area for the Trail of Tears.

Van Buren is one of Arkansas oldest towns and is located across the Arkansas River from Ft. Smith. It has been around since the late 1820s and is in my opinion one of the most charming small towns in the state.

I really loved this picture of Eureka Springs, this picture of Central High School, this and this picture of Hot Springs. This thread made me see Arkansas in a whole new light!
:D :cheers:

I like these small towns. Great photo thread also!
