i love this 'awkward' angle you have chosen here -- really love the corner of the rectangular shadow in the front and the antique painted sign for 'Bartels & Shores'... well done - and welcome to aminus3!! :)

lovely thoughtful image here. Love the perspective angles that are completed and rounded off by the curved gutter on the street. I love the shadows and the tones from black to white. Nice grays. Don't you just love mono !!

Classic American architecture; details of that smashed-up curbside really brought out in B/W...

OK , I made it to the beginning . it was a most enjoyable couple of hours . I read this name on another shot of yours . I keep thinking of Bartles and James -some kind of beverage if I recall correctly .

@Robert: robert, i really appreciate the time you took to look at my photos. this is a favorite building for me. and yes, i think bartles and james was a wine cooler. let's hope they weren't made inside this chemical company...

The bricks look good in this one. It reminds me of a Vermeer painting.
