Just an Old Fashioned.....

Holger, I love your B&W work and I love to see an old fashioned bar. No better place to have a good talk and enjoy the presence of your relatives. Thank you for sharing your work

Kind regards,

Herman

Certainly not a well captured image from a technical point of view but I was after the atmosphere of the place. Your comments are warmly welcomed, thanks for looking.

Thank you Herman for your visit and kind words. This reminded me of a place and time when I was very young.....fond memories. See you soon........Holger

Beautiful b/w scene Holger, with wonderful lighting & details. Take care,...............Patsy

Thanks Patsy, always appreciate your support and comments, see you soon.

Great capture of the mood of this place! Regards, Alain

Alain thank you for recognizing what I was after and your visit. See you soon.........Holger

Very nice picture of old fashioned store in wonderful tones! PDE

Thank you PD, it was the atmosphere I was after. These type of places are few and far forgotten. See you soon.......Holger

Holger, you just transported me back in time to when I worked as a carbonic engineer (a/k/a soda jerk). It didn't happen in a candy store; it was in my father-in-law's restaurant. Thanks to him, I can brag about the egg creams I still can make. - - - You wanted atmosphere, and you got it. To me, aside from the appearance of the stools, counter, etc., it results from the tones progressing left to right, from bright to dark. There is no reason for you to apologize. - - michael

Thank you Michael, I'm so glad I stirred up a memory or two. See you soon..............Holger

Yes, not too many places like this anymore Holger. I do like your POV and your edit. Good detail and you edit seems to be just right to convey the atmosphere of the time period. When I was a child there was a Drug Store across the road from our Apartment. We lived above a Hair Dresser's Salon. At the back of the Pharmacy, they had a 'Soda Fountain'.............with chairs very similar.........old but not too me back then. Dad treated us every so often to a 'visit there'. Have to say that the iPhones do take excellent shots these days!

Gail thank you for your observations and comment. Sometimes I think and wish there were more places like this, but I suppose that's showing my age. Thanks again, see you soon......Holger

I like this one a lot, Holger, especially the angle of the shot and the slightly stark tones. The line of stools give a very nice rhythm to the shot.

Thank you Jack, the place transported me to another time and place and I only had an iphone to capture the moment, but I am very pleased that people could see and relate to the capture. Thanks for all your support my friend. See you soon..............Holger
