Feeling the Squeeze

 

It’s no wonder that this little ice cream place didn’t make it – it got squeezed to death from every direction.

One-Star Place

This may not be the ONLY one-star place in town, but it is definitely one of the one-star places!

Diagonals

This time I was shooting through some old glass that had wire mesh inlaid in it. And look! The diagonal of the mesh and the diagonal of the stairs match.

Chain and Block (with pigeon)

The big wooden door on this abandoned building had a lens-sized hole way down at the bottom. You know what I did.

I like making these kinds of photos, shooting blind through holes or dirty glass, because it’s a (usually good) surprise when I see the finished image. If I’d been doing this the “right” way, framing up the shot and all that stuff, I’m not sure I could have done better than the way the chain, the concrete block, and the pigeon arranged themselves.

Closed, yet also open

Well, of course the sign says they’re closed – the place has been out of business for several years. But oddly, thanks to the large broken window, they are still open. In a manner of speaking.
