way out west GENERAL STORE---QUEMADO, NM

Seems like an interesting chaos, You did well here, difficult to make a composition in such a place, I guess, cheers Jana

Thanks. You are right, there is no real focal point. Just chaos. But I felt the need to report such a chaotic scene. It is also not as sharp as it should be, as I did not use flash. The man in attendance had a rather dyspeptic look to him, so I did not wish to upset him by taking pictures that he might not approve of. So I simply waited until he wasn't looking and took the image without flash.

it seems like many horny men passed through this establishment and left their horns (or antlers) behind. The general must be an amazing dude. I dig the stove - is it actually functional? If yes, maybe it's fueled by the private parts of those men. Hey, what's a leopard skin doing on a ceiling? Well, it seems that besides mammoth owls and horns/antlers the general doesn't sell anything else. Cheers, Micheal

I love this!

What an amazing intenral capture and very amazing atmosphere, wishing you all of the best my friend.

What Audubon was to birds, you are to general stores and all the varieties of vanishing Americana.

I agree with Jack. You are from now on the Audubon of Oddities.

Thank you. I'm quite fond of your work.

Thanks for your thoughts from so far away. Most kind of you.

Thanks for such an effusive compliment. There are thousands of us out there making trillions of photos. Each will have to fight for a place in posterity. There are many superior to my own. No matter what, photography shall always be the perfect medium for transmitting history, social behavior, culture and much more. All of us can be proud to have participated in the experiment.

"Audubon of oddities?" I love that. I'm kind of a weird bird, but remain uncatalogued.

I like the colors and composition very much!
