Company Store in Negley

[juanital]

One of the oldest buildings still around...sepiaed and grained...



Then some stuff in front and in color.

Wow well done I like the way you have aged the first picture.  I really enjoy your work!

[Jeanne Lee]

Juanita, that's quite a conglomeration of "stuff"!     And I love the sign on the store - "Antiques and Herbs"!  It does all make a great photo subject and you've done a good job of capturing it.

[gjtoth]

Great job catching the mood and flavor of the store.  I love these old places.

[juanital]

Thank you much-Judy, Jeanne and GJ

[Pat]

Ohh, I love these country stores.  We have a town near Guelph called St. Jacob's and it's full of old stores like this and the displays out front are similar to what you captures.

Lovely look to your old store too, Juanita!  Good treatment.

Great capture and I too like the sepia.

You have certainly have given the first picture a turn of the century look, I'm sure there's a tool where you can scruff the edges up a bit just to make it look that little more authentic. Type of place you could spend all day rummaging for pictures. Mind you most of what I can see there belongs on a bonfire or the scrapyard, I just wonder how much of this stuff they actually sell, and is it left out day and night. Kind of place you could go and dump the junk, and no one would be any the wiser What's all that stuff hanging up? I'm afraid you'll have to go back and photograph in detail everything that's on offer, its fascinating.

I wonder why they are keeping old license plates?  I think that might be a plow back there too, You can see the handle in front of the "Danger High Voltage" sign.

Anyway, Great pics. I like the sepia.

[Summicron]

I think that plough looks more like a sack truck to me, don't people use old licence plates to decorate walls?

[ScottyBoy]

They used license plates to decorate walls in the Boars Nest on the Dukes of Hazard. Did you have that show were you live? It was very popular here.

[Summicron]

Something I ain't got is a TV, but yes I seem top remember it was on TV over here. There' a butty shop just down the road from me called Route 66 and they have American licence plated decorating the walls.

[ScottyBoy]

Oh cool, do you have any pictures of it?

[Summicron]

No not yet, but mentioning it has got me thinking of it.

[ScottyBoy]

Good, I wanna see some.
