For Sale

These flags were raised on the side of a store building to advertise a sale. The repeating shapes and shadows caught my eye as I was passing by and I snapped a few half hearted photos. The neon colors of the plastic flags were pretty hideous and distracting but once I converted them to B&W, I really liked the way the forms and geometry were emphasized.
Great shapes and shadows!!! Lighting is good also, and I think it would be better in B&W..not so distracting!
