The sign shop

jgrussell · 17th of September 2009 (Thu)

I pass this place every day on the way home, and usually something isn't right to get a shot. The light isn't red so I can't stop. There's a vehicle blocking me in the turn lane. It's still too light out (rare) or it's already way too dark (much more common). But it seems most factors were in my favor today.

What else could I be doing to make this shot work?

A classic!
Reminds me of a famous painting of an all night restaurant titled "Nighthawks" by Edward Hopper.

I don't think you need to do anything to it to make it work, except perhaps give it a frame and a wall to hang on!

Thanks so much, folks. I ordered the print from Mpix. We'll see what it looks like next week!
