9.17.05 The Collectible Shop

Moorefield, West Virginia

I have had my eye on this building for over a year now. It is, in my mind, a landmark in Hardy County, West Virginia. I've passed by this building hundreds of times. I wanted to try to capture the feeling of nostalgia and americana I get when I drive by.

i grew up from 1976 to 1983 less than 1 mile from this building...in moorefield, wv... i have great memories of it as a basic grocery store.... in fact.... as a youth.. i unknowingly stole a candybar from this store.... when we got in the car and my mom saw me eating it.. she asked where i had got it... and i quickly learned it was not right to just take things.... and i learned you must pay for everything you want...
a great life lesson... becasue of this little store at the bottom of the hill....

I'd say you suceeeded. Perfect lighting. Old plows and such are big sellers here. People use them as lawn ornaments. :)

Well done. I would also like to see a B&W or brown toned version too.--Rene

Great, "Americana" loud and clear. The soft shadow add to the image.

Well, you've definitely caught the feelings of nostalgia and Americana here because I felt it as soon as I saw this photo. Great job.
