Love it ! Hope that creepy guy from No Country for Old Men is lurking around.

Well, if he was lurking, I missed him….

I love the presentation of the image with it looking like the edges of a paper print and all. Is it just the way you framed the shot, or is the only thing remaining the sign? Makes it look like an invitation to the local critters to bunk down under a bush for a refreshing night’s kip!

All that’s left is the sign; I’ve photographed it on two or three trips.
(I’ll edit the blog post to include the original.)
Also, I wanted to let you know that I thought about you this afternoon. I was reading an article in The New Yorker about musician Jack White, and it mentioned that he collects photo booths! Here’s a link to the article: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/13/jack-whites-infinite-imagination

Thanks for the link, Melinda. I’d love to be able to collect booths as well as the photos from them! He is an amazing guy and I love his passion for collecting. He has very eclectic tastes.

I think “eclectic” is exactly the right word to describe him! Here’s one of my favorite of his songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikoRfHm8fLc

Yes! I love that song. I bought the album solely due to hearing it once. I then worked my way through his back catalogue. Thanks for the link, Melinda!
