Love the smeary graphics of the sign and the interesting, unique angle and composition of this shot.

"Your sister sees the future / Like your mama and yourself / You've never learned to read or write / There's no books upon your shelf / And your pleasure knows no limits / Your voice is like a meadowlark / But your heart is like an ocean / Mysterious and dark" (Bob Dylan)
What an amazing photograph, Grant. It's a pleasure like reading a good book & necessary like reading the newspaper every day. Great perspective, great capture! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

These No Trespassing signs are so inviting, makes me want to rip the panel down and explore the interior :) Nice shot, like this old sign.

Well that sign has seen better days, so full of dirt, grit and weathered like crazy. Such a cool shot!

Great find Grant! "Printing to your needs." What more could you ask for?

Great lines. I like the way the sign lettering shows through the rust.

Images like this make me wonder about America's future. It's true that nothing lasts forever, but they could last longer if "the system" worked for everyone. I don't know why this place is shut down, and it looks like has been down for some time, but I know the time, effort, and money that goes into building a business and it's sad to see one have to close down. Well documented, Grant. Cheers!

makes me smile. maybe you don't mean it this way but i think a lot of writers feel this way about publishing houses - boarded up, no trespassing sign, impossible access.
(yes the bags were matching - but i didn't see the 4 - good eyes)

I find it sad if this is actually a printing company where they ran presses. Our oldest son was a pressman for years. He loved it. Long story, but he's teaching school now and loves it even more. However, he'll always treasure those years.
