Greetings From Floyd Street

Another fun collection of images i stumbled upon one day was by Ellen Jo & Floyd, her 5lb Chihuahua. Floyd is the star of an ongoing series of travel photos, whereby the little guy is hoisted infront of various landmarks across the states with the ubiqutous hand of Ellen Jo.

Floyd is also the star of his own book "Greetings from Floyd Street"

"Arizona writer, artist and photographer, Ellen Jo Roberts documents Floyd's continuing travels by cleverly holding him aloft and taking his photo in front of various landmarks, pop-culture artifacts and roadside relics. This much anticipated & highly-collectable first volume in the ongoing series details Floyd's travels throughout California, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Georgia, Florida, and Floyd's own photogenic home state of Arizona. "Greetings from Floyd Street" is sure to bring good cheer to all."

Ellen Jo lives in the historic copper-mining company-town of Clarkdale, Arizona with her husband "Bike Daddy" Chad, a cat, named Clyde, a Boston Terrier named Ivan, and of course, Floyd. She has a with a fixation with cheap plastic cameras & vintage Volkswagens.

Ellen's artwork may be seen at the Jerome Artists Cooperative Galley, in Jerome Arizona, and her regular feature column "The Outs" may be read in the Northern Arizona creative arts & news monthly "The Noise".
