on fridays, a half day, we used to ride our bicycles over to the next town just to go to Eddie's. in spring and fall when the weather was nice. we always wondered about the calligraphy, and if the sweets were really any better, but never came to any conclusion.
I shoot so much black & white that I hardly ever look at or think about colour photographs. But this one arrested me because it looks so much like colour film. Those are Kodachrome colours. I love it. I was younger and more optimistic then, and it feels good to feel that feeling again. Thank you.
Well, Eddie obviously pays his window cleaner peanuts! (streaks top left). This looks like a proper olde worlde sweet shop and I'd like to visit with my pocket money.
Great colors. The clear decanters on the right are maybe my favorite thing. I would have cropped this one to a smaller square losing the bottom and some of the left - for me the lightest areas at the bottom dilute the impact.
