No, not THAT Memphis.

This recipe is actually named after Memphis, Nebraska, a small town of 110 people. It’s a charming little town with one bar, a church that may or not be in operation, and a REALLY cool old truck and an amazing blue bus in the middle of town.

I love this spot, as it’s fun to play with the composition between the truck and the blue bus.

For this recipe, it’s all about saturation. I love the vividness of the colors here.

Just make sure to add a little bit of light to the photos as the recipe seems to darken everything.
