Old Storefront Photo

Photographer’s Note

Driving around of Jerome, AZ you can see several old buildings. This one wasn't as old, but there was something poignant about it, lonely on the winding road headed down out of town.

Jerome is an old mining town which, rather than becoming a ghost town like so many, has reinvented itself as a tourist attraction. It's full of historic buildings, galleries, and other artisan shops. It's worth a stop if you're in the area or headed to Sedona from Phoenix.

I desaturated the photo and re-saturated the reds.

Hi Robbin

I too like these kind of photos.
I think you captured great shadows here, epecially of the trees on the side. I like the worn and dusty look of it all too. Good choice to emphasize the red tones.

TFS,
