It was the colors in this photo that caught my eye; they present a nice contrast against the cloudy sky. The low perspective on the shot is also appealing in that it gives the old gas station a sense that it is looming above the street, deserted and monolithic–even though it’s not. The subject is the Kensington Service Center, part of Kensington’s Antique Row, which chip py the photo guy visited on Saturday. I will admit a soft spot for gas station photos, as it was an old-style Texaco with full service that enabled me to pay for my gas and beer in high school, and this photo evokes the bell ringing in the service bay when the local little-old-ladies would drive their gold ’85 Cadillac Sevilles up to the pumps. Aaah. Good times. Does anyone else have high-school job nostalgia? Let us know in the comments. EXIF.
