nostalgia ain't what it used to be... by northy

nostalgia ain't what it used to be...

Vikki (@summerfield) and i, for lack of decent light and (at least on my part) phojo, decided to start checking out areas around subway stations... today our first stop was Bathurst station... this is a nearby location - what used to be Honest Eds - a legendary and iconic store which has just recently closed it's doors...

here's a shot of the same location from back in 2012... yes - in colour... 'cos it was for a challenge that required it ;p

I like your composition, and the reflection of the street in the windows/circles.

Some times a project is what we need to get going again. I did one where I checked out all the county parks a while back.

haha! if that guy only knew. well, serves him right for not paying attention. nice to see it in blacka and white, i know the reds are soooo garishly painful to the naked eye.

Very good grunge, I like it a lot.

The title is perfect and the shot has urban grunge captured perfectly.

Very grungy, very "wait, this is my home town now?" Love it.

Nice juxtaposition with the chap on his smart phone - probably one of the contributing factors to the shop's demise (not him personally, obviously!)

Great shot of "Change is...." Sad to see the destruction. Great darkness captured. Fav!

Like it on black

This looks awesome on black. So glad that you are able to record this store for posterity - it is going to be soon demolished by the sound of things.
Great street shot.
