Mark Horner says he hopes to turn lemons into lemonade.
The photographer had been running his business taking “old-time” pictures at a studio at the Chattanooga Choo Choo complex, but the tourist landmark’s renovation usurped his space.
That forced Horner to find a new location, and he has opened Paper Moon Portraits on Market Street across from the Choo Choo where he specializes in nostalgic photos.
Horner says he’s hopeful that “more visibility will be a positive change.”
