Burger Joint with Blues Brothers in Wantagh, NY
Yes, as you can see I'm still here and alive :). I know it's been a really long time. I am working again, and it's been hard to make time for pics, but today I got into the spirit again.
This is certainly not one of my best, but I took it for a reason. I love looking at old photographs, pictures taken 40 or 50 years ago. So many things you see there don't exist any more today. And suddenly I thought about all the things we won't be seeing anymore in another 40 or 50 years, but more likely they'll be gone much sooner. Such as little snack joints like this. They will either surrender to zoning laws, or the ever prevailing chain stores and franchises like Burger King or Starbucks. Or they will simply be driven out by the ever rising rents. So I thought I'll start to try and capture what will look "old" and outdated in a not so far away future.
