I like the simplicity, I like the reflections of lampposts in the window

Excellent black & white. Nice light and very good gray scale.

Really nice reflection. The lines in the reflection complement the line in the building - but of course you knew that? ;)

@dogilicious: i'll give you my standard answer - anything you like was the result of careful planing...

I like the simple lines of this unassuming building, functional yet stylish.

I find it sort of amusing that the only place one can see cars is in the window reflections of the car service shop. One gets the feeling the place is deserted but there they are - in the window. The lights and darks and everything in-between is just terrific.

sometimes i don't know what to say - i'd rather spend my time looking and soaking it up instead of saying something. but at least you know i was here - and i enjoyed looking at this. (we could trade work parking lots and offices - but once inside the view is probably much the same).

23 Mar 2009 1:06am

@michele: i almost never know what to say. i'm glad you like it, and that's plenty. (and you're probably right about parking lots and offices.)

dik from McAllen, United States

Which camera did you use on this? Great perspective with no barrel distortion and blazing sunlight.

23 Mar 2009 2:02am

@dik: my favorite for some time now - Fuji GS645. do you know it? a medium format rangefinder.

dik from McAllen, United States

I will look it up. I have not used film since, well a long time ago. I am fascinated by it. Thanks.

I loved your standard reply.... I may have to use that one ha ha
A really neat shot, Grant.

Looks like a nice clean shop. Love that corner composition again.

rhys from Somalia

for the past few weeks I have been reading books on Walker Evans. He was a genius. This shot would not look out of place on any of the pages that I've looked at. Darn good image.

23 Mar 2009 6:43am

@rhys: i'm very flattered. i might have mentioned it already, but he's been my favorite since i was in high school (and came across "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men").

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States

ASE is good, three letters to look for when comes to finding a mechanic! I see some condos reflected in the glass, this is perhaps one of your most populated shots!

23 Mar 2009 8:32pm

@Howard F.: i didn't know that about ASE - thanks for the information. and you're right. this shot is practically reeking with people. i don't know what came over me...
