The Athens Post Office

West Virginia

The Athens post office is very small. There are only three parking spaces so invariably you get blocked in by someone.

I decided to amuse myself while waiting for whoever owned the large pick up behind me by shooting people going in and out.

This is who owned the pickup.

Olympus C-5050Z
1/1000s f/5.0 at 8.7mm iso64 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

It puts a whole new spin on "going postal"! If you have to shoot somebody might as well do it your way! :)

I like the way his hat doesn't really match his outfit (in style). Good one!

Great home-town USA shot. Darn, you make me want to stake out my Post Office.
Karen Leaf10-Oct-2004 02:15
I like everything about this.

If they are not close enough to use your pigsticker, you shoot them. I like your style. :) You are quite a lady. The post office looks too modern for the background and the man.

Haha ... he looks like the poster child for pickup truck owners.

I see he is avoiding eye contact! Better to shoot photos than shoot people. :^)

Fun waiting time.

Now that is turning an opportunity into one!! Most would be cursing the owner of the truck or in my case go inside the post office screaming..(just kidding)

Fun shot.
