The logos and all the merchandise tend to be labelled in highly saturated colors, so even at night the overall impression is eye-achingly colorful. Seeing a gas station in B&W (which is a rare style of photography nowadays) makes me feel sort of time-slipped, as though I were watching an old movie.Tiel Aisha Ansarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994169558252043919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-37258387517164938932008-01-13T12:42:00.000-05:002008-01-13T12:42:00.000-05:00I came back to have another look at this soulful p...I came back to have another look at this soulful picture of a soulless place......<BR/><BR/>ooh, cool - that's mine and Michele's offering!<BR/><BR/>Soulful picture of a soulless place.<BR/><BR/>:-))<BR/><BR/>cqcraziequeenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15098227916486173799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-75045009172164249962008-01-13T12:38:00.000-05:002008-01-13T12:38:00.000-05:00My first thought was - this looks like a scary mo...My first thought was - this looks like a scary movie set.
