Hi Gang.
Nothing special.Its an old building around the corner from me,that used to sell 
gas etc.
They spruced it up last fall to use in a movie and i'v always wanted to do 
something with
this
corner, photo wize.
Tried to B&W it but i'll wait for my 6x7 Tmax shots to be developed as i did 
not get a
good B&W
conversion.
Enjoy and comments welcome.

Nice shot, Dave.  I like the old worn signs - they're becoming harder
and harder to find these days.  "Gas-Oil-Cigarettes":  For some reason
that reminds me of travelling through Maine, getting off the main road
to look for gas.  We pulled up to a gas station that also sold booze,
guns and ammo.  To top it all off, the kid behind the counter was
about 14 years old!  What a larf!
But, I digress.  This is about your photo, which I like a lot.  The
snow adds to it as well, but I guess this time of year, you don't have
much choice in that, do you?
cheers,
frank
 

Let's see, a 14yo boy, gasoline, booze, guns and ammo.  This sounds like 
a much too exciting combination to me...

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings
