When you work with a panoramic format you start to see all of the world’s long and wide subjects. One subject I have always liked are old diners. This one has been given new life as HL’s Bait & Tackle Shop in Morrisville, PA.
I’ll alway remember the owner came out and yelled something from across the street at me. I couldn’t understand what he said, but I don’t think he was happy with me making a photograph of his building. After he yelled at me, he went back inside. He came back out, flipped me off and taped a drawing of a smilie face to his front door.
I had already made my image and packed up the camera by that time. So I did not make another exposure with the smilie face on the door. I only have the story.
Sad thing is this beautiful building has been “upgraded” since this image was made. It now hardly shows its diner heritage.
