Choices, The Bistro, Cooke City, Montana, 2008

These tourists were sitting only a few feet from a window, which gives the image its soft light and gathering shadows. The neon sign above their heads advertises a local beer. I made numerous long telephoto images of these diners from a distance, while they were unaware of my presence. This was my favorite image, because it expresses the process of choice that diners encounter in any restaurant. The restaurant, constructed as a log cabin, was the only dining spot open for lunch in this small city just outside the Northeast Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. The painting above the table adds local context.

Thanks, Rosemarie. Glad this image can bring back the memory of this lunch our group shared in Cooke City.

Yes, it's great to have choices, even when it was the only restaurant open that day; ah the incongruity of a Bistro in a log cabin. I like the glow of the wood logs and table indicating a nice hot meal on a snowy day.
