Abandoned UP Store

hi bruce

there is something about early american storefronts
with ziggurat roofs that get me every time !

i love how in the background on the right, there is some
sort of rectangular shape that is repeated over and over again in the image.
well seen !

That looks so desolate, lonely, and heartbreakingly deserted. The Michigan UP is a bit of a two edged sword for me. Stunning natural beauty, accompanied with some pretty severe financial destitution. Sometimes I wonder if it's the prelude of what'll happen to the entire country.

What draws some people to these places? I find myself pointing my camera at them too.
Looks like a print from a "thin" negative. Be careful with exposure and development. The film grain is too evident in the sky for me.
