I like the contrast in the emulsion, Brain. Very nice blacks. Nice photo too!

Thanks, Rob. Much appreciated.

ditto rob, very nice blacks and contrast. kinda reminds me of the liquor store my dad owned when i was little. is that a 4 light traffic signal on the left?

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks, Beth. No traffic light there I don;t think. I'll have to check tomorrow on the way past.

lol, sorry, meant on the right. ifo the propane bottles. looks like it's got 4 lights, but it looks like the lights are setup in an odd order. there appears to be a red on top, an arrow, a full and an arrow. doesn't make much sense when you try to figure the yellow and greens.

 

[Brian Moore]

It looks like it a bit, doesn't it? No, I think its just some crazy thing with a potted plant on top.

 

[Beth Anthony]

that's kinda cool.

I thought I was going nuts. Aught to have read your second post before searching for ages on the left

Nice pic Brian and it does look like a bit of night class sculpture.

Perfect description, Julian: "night class sculpture." Thanks for the comments, Julian.

Very nice looking B&W Brian - don't believe I've tried that film - looks very promising

Love the retail chaos of the liquor store - Nothing says quality wine like a hand painted sign - classic

You got that right, Chris. That hand painted sign grabs my eye every time I drive past. Usually there is a car or two parked there but when I see its clear I'm always tempted to take a fotie. Anyway, thanks, Chris.
