Nicely seen, Russ. We'll drag you away from street photography yet.

Actually, I do a lot of this kind of thing, Jeremy. I wouldn't call it landscape though.

I know you do, Russ. There's an air of melancholy about a lot of your stuff, isn't there?

I like the store front photo very much. The irony of the sign is priceless.

Probably so, Jeremy. Maybe because I've lived through the conversion of the Western US from a land of individually owned ranches and farms that supported prosperous small towns, to a land with huge corporate farms and dying small towns, dominated by the freeways. I know it had to happen. The result is a huge increase in productivity so that the labor of fewer people can provide life's essentials for more people. But I also remember what it was like to "creak back and forth in a porch swing on a summer evening" when towns were small and the people who provided those essentials were big. That quote comes from the little book I never published but that you can find here: http://www.russ-lewis.com/Voices/intro.html.
