The phoneline shop revisited

As I'm in my last month of my 365, I'm revisiting a few locations I've previously shot,

The phoneline shop appeared on my 365 back in June and as you can see by comparing the image in the link below there are a few differences (apart from colour and B/W)

- The shop is now closed and the property is 'to let' (credit crunch)
- Some graffiti has appeared (not very nice)

The scene is a bit too busy, but it's Arnold in January, so busy must be good

You are 4 days behind me Phil, are you going to do year 2 do you think ? I am definatly going to carry on as I love this project & do have a fair bit of time to spend on it in between B&B. Do you know if there is a small Mac book, Notebook or similar I could buy to take on holiday with me so I can download & keep up with 365 ? Might be a good thing to buy in Dubai do you think ? Shame about this shop, another casualty !! Great street scene though !

These are sad times all over the world! Your shot is a statement to most of the world, Phil! I've never seen it this bad in the states, in all my born days and I am well over 55. But I've heard about hard times like these since both sets of grandparents lived through the Great Depression. Sadly, it looks like things are just going to get worse before they can begin to get better. I dread to see what's coming down the road.

@happypat Pat thanks for your continued support. I should be a few days ahead of you , but I've got 10 blank days that I intend to back fill to ensure i finish on the correct day. I don't know whether to bow out gracefully or continue on a post a few times a week basis.

I'd go for a lower spec laptop rather than notepad ...notepads are a tad too small and fiddly ,,,,,macs are way too expensive (that's my opinion - others may differ)

@phil_howcroft @happypat pack-a-mac for all your holiday needs..

[Phil Howcroft]

@marlboromaam thanks marlboro ...I cannot believe you are 55+ , you look young in your profile pic ......that makes me 1 year younger than you !!!

[Phil Howcroft]

@sleepdozer57 cheers peter, credit crunch shuffle...good spot

[Kerri]

Well captured. I think I like the black and white better

[Mags]

@phil_howcroft LOL! I will post a new pic as soon as I can find someone to snap it! Then everyone will see what an old hag I am! Ha ha! White streaks in hair and all!

[Pat Knowles]

It's not the photo part that's time consuming I find but the continuing obligation to comment but I do hope you will carry on !! Thank you for your info on the computer question, I had an idea that would be possibly be the best option ! I might go to PC World & have a look at prices ! Another thing to cart round with me though !!

[Mags]

@phil_howcroft Okay, Phil! the hag is up but I'm deleting as soon as you've had your view and commented!

[Phil Howcroft]

[Sue Wilde]

Interesting pic, Phil. Lots happenning

[Mike]

Sad really ...all in under a year!

Oh dear - as you say - busy is good...

Grafetti does seem to encroach on everything, doesn't it? I like the way the youngster seems to be studying his feet for a dance routine.

A lot has changed in a year, store up for rent, however the shot is filled with busy people. I like how the boy sign has made it into the shot with one woman wandering through. Life goes on...
