    Country Store, Resaca

    I went in to get a coke and you know me. I just couldn't pass this one by. I was trying to get into the intersection to take the shot and there was a never ending stream of cars going by. This is a very small town by the way, real small. After I took he shots the old man on the porch looked at me and said " Son I don't know where they are comin' from or where they are goin' but it's been like this all day long.

    I am like Barney Fife, I have a gun but Andy makes me keep the bullet in my pocket..

    Thanks Dr. I was happy with it so I felt no need to have it critiqued. It was more about what the guy said than the picture as well.

    Re: Country Store, Resaca

    Greg I have really enjoyed your series of store fronts and buildings. You have got me looking at every old store or unique business that I go by thinking in terms of what time of day or night would be best to photograph that. Great story here also. I use to love to hit the old country stores and talk to the guys hanging out on the porch or around the stove in the winter. Sad but most of the places are disappearing and along with them the characters that frequented them.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
