Somehow this building is isolated against the sky even though it's in a really packed part of town. The texture of the building face and the triangle of light over the N caught my attention, so I pulled over to take a photo.

This one was surprisingly easy to print. I stabilized the side of the camera against a light pole, and I think that contributed to the sharpness and detail as compared to a lot of the other shots I've taken.

There's something about these little corner stores that I find comforting, especially when it's so late at night that I'm the only one around. I hope you like it.

Edit: the title shouldn't be a link. It doesn't go anywhere. I was just duplicating the peculiar way the name of the business is painted on the front of the building :/

The quality of film is just so charming. It really melds the photo together with neither the lights or the blacks blowing out but retain a feeling of measured contrast. Or, you just got it right on in camera :P.

I think the composition really works here with the grey tones of the street leading to the store and bright lights only to cut into black sky. The two spot lights and the A shaped light in the center does look like a face to me, like the center portion could open up as a mouth and tall all stop motion style - but that’s just me 🤓

I'd love a print of this for my wall. Great picture :)

Does anyone know how to get the post thumbnail working? I've tried with imgur and with "upload" in the post creation, but I'm still not seeing it.

edit: disregard, it looks like it's just on jerboa. Maybe it takes a bit to show up.
