At first, this mural isn't as eye catching as most of the Jiffy Lube/Arts Council of Indianapolis murals that have gone up around town the last few years. The colors are subdued and the image, though lifelike, doesn't seem unusual enough to catch your eye either.
But upon closer look, you see that the entire north wall of the building has been turned into a giant photo album page. Real metal rings have been installed on the left side of the wall to look like they are part of a 3-ring binder. The mural and even the real windows on the wall are framed with the small corner tabs that used to hold photos in place.
The mural shows a man developing photos. The photos are part of Brownsburg's history showing buildings and some people/activities that are dear to the local residents. The thought behind the mural was the connection between the town and the photos, both are developing.
Barb Stahl created the mural in 2018. She has been an artist/muralist in the Indy area for over 30 years and her works can be found throughout the metro area.
