Sep 2015

took it today.
I had to shake hands, introduce myself, explain why I'm in the neighborhood, and finally worked my way to saying there was a contest coming up and I needed a photo of their attractive roadside attraction store, was it maybe please OK to take a few shots. All this is not what I usually do, I just beg forgiveness, not so much ask permission.
I'm tickled.

You've done it Mira Sep 2015 #4

Thanks. It's a Tom Robbins novel. alfredo Sep 2015 #9

For me Mira Sep 2015 #12

Skinny legs and all was really good too. alfredo Sep 2015 #13

Makes me want to dig CC Sep 2015 #6

It's a good reason to hit the secondary roads near you. alfredo Sep 2015 #8

We have an unfair advantage here in Flori-duh Lorien Sep 2015 #15

That's OK, as long as you don't abuse it. alfredo Sep 2015 #16

You really do! mnhtnbb Sep 2015 #20

It doesn't have to be a business. It could be a yard decorated with concrete statues and such. alfredo Sep 2015 #26

Cool. bluedigger Sep 2015 #17

I'll have to dig out my photo Blue_In_AK Sep 2015 #18

That's the spirit. alfredo Sep 2015 #19

Sounds good! Agschmid Sep 2015 #21

I might have mine already Mira Sep 2015 #22

I can't wait to see the entries. I love the little store. So comforting. alfredo Sep 2015 #23

great theme fizzgig Sep 2015 #24

You don't even need to leave the city limits to find some good subjects alfredo Sep 2015 #25

What's the policy on post-processing? Binkie The Clown Sep 2015 #27

That's fine. Editing within reason is OK with me. alfredo Sep 2015 #28

I'll go ahead and submit it when the time comes, and if it's over the top Binkie The Clown Sep 2015 #29

Antique/sepia leaves the image generally intact. Turning it into a fractal would be too much. alfredo Sep 2015 #30

Tough one so far... But I've got some going. Agschmid Sep 2015 #31

Easy is boring. alfredo Sep 2015 #32

I traveled for 18 hours on Friday. I got my entry and then some. Solly Mack Sep 2015 #36

Alfredo Mira Sep 2015 #33

It doesn't matter, it just has to be interesting. alfredo Sep 2015 #34

Mira's question is also my question today. Because do I have kitsch! Solly Mack Sep 2015 #35

A roadside attraction doesn't have to be kitsch, but any attraction, profound or profane is OK. alfredo Sep 2015 #37

Well, OK. I separate kitsch from primitive art. Solly Mack Sep 2015 #38

I can't wait to see these little pieces of America. alfredo Sep 2015 #39
