Old and faded shop fronts are almost always interesting, with the colours, signs and slow decay suggestive of the years that have passed and the stories held within. Usually a simple straight on shot — just like this other retro booze shop — is enough for me to document it and have a keepsake before its likely demolition, but something about this one demanded more. It’s not that special really, and yet the shutters, along with the broken vending machine did seem to require several extra photos. A decision that also provided the perfect opportunity to get a person in the frame which is always worth the effort.

The balance of the first is just perfect! 🙂

Thank you. It definitely appealed to me, so that could well be why.

The passage of time caught perfectly in the last photo. Your patience paid off. Thanks!

Cheers! I actually took the top 3 photos first, then on the way back a little later I saw the lady approaching, so got that last one then. Made me very Glad I did go back.
