Isn't the first one Dumbledore from the Harry Potter films ?

Funny! No his name is Lendal Abbott.

This building is near where I grew up in Knoxville TN and was built in the 30's as a gas station. I made this image in the 70's along with several other images that I'm still looking for. It's known as the "Airplane Gas Station" and originally had a propeller that rotted on the front. The building was abandon in the late 70's and deteriorated until a group became interested in restoring it in the 10's. It's now fully restored down to the propeller and cylinder gas pumps from the 30's.

Here are a couple of shots from around where I live. The yard art image and the cylinder pump are strange scan or might be the negs not sure. The tones are odd but I thought I’d post anyway.

I had forgotten about Sterchi's. Memories from childhood.

Scanned from a print and don’t think it’s as good as going straight from the neg so my apology.

Shot on a backroad in northern Georgia.

Always looking for interesting people and places. While traveling back to Tennessee from Nebraska a bridge between Missouri and the tip of Illinois was closed for repairs so we had to reroute through Cairo IL. Just as you cross into IL an abandon restraint was there and begging to be photographed.
