Thanks, Shel. I tried to avoid wider shots. The photos were taken at a Steak 'n Shake restaurant and I really wanted to remove the whole franchise feel. There may be a few wider photos, but those negs are probably in a box yet to be unpacked.
Creve Coeur is the correct spelling. I used to get my film processed at Creve Coeur Camera. This particular diner was in Hazelwood. I used to live in Ferguson. I have a cousin who lives in Bridgeton. Hazelwood was right between us, so we hung out there. On 8/3/05, Shel Belinkoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Scott - at first glance these appear to be great shots.
