This combination of your great light & these bricks is truly incredible. What an amazing phototgraph that describes best this lazy sunday feeling. Great! All the best & safe travels, Fritsch

the difference between open and close for the same shop is in a fantastic frame in this shot.

Wow...so much to look at....it's awesome! I love the light streaming on the front of what probably used to be a very active business. All the textures on this building stand out and some old architecture around the door. Love the contrast of the Open and Closed......very cool shot :)

The irony of the signs is made even more ironic by the fact that this is a most cohesive image. Beautifully produced, Grant. It is so good to have your imagery back in the AM3 blog.

It had a rather fancy doorframe in its heyday Grant! Great shot... one of my favorites.

so confusing, is it open or is it closed! This is my kind of shot through and through, knockout.

There doesn't seem to be any question about which is the accurate one! Boonville has lots to offer, I wish I could make it up there more often.

I am confused. So could it be the name of this abandoned store be Open? and Open is closed? Haha! Nice shot, great find.
