As soon as I crossed the border into KY, i came across something I

had never seen in America before. There were local elections going

on and EVERY SINGLE corner had about twenty signs on it. This was

actually a subdued one. At some palces, there were as many as 50 or

60 signs, mostly hand-painted. Elections signs I've seen plenty of,

but I've never seen this many or for so many small offices (deputy,

coroner, dog-catcher, etc.)

I like that the colors of the signs are brought out by the black and white of the background... but I'm curious - was it intentional to put a shadow on the Creekmore sign? It does draw attention to the words; "young", "chance", and "more"... so it may very well have been intentional. I'm not sure if I like that shadow or not. Surely, if it's intentional to have it be there - it will become more likeable to me.

Well, if it's more likeable to you, then it's intentional! :-)

 

Unfortunately, this was on a really busy corner and I stood in the only place I could shoot without getting run over! I wanted the telephone pole on the left side of the frame, but didn't even notice the shadow actually. Thanks for your kind ocmments.

Well, even though it wasn't an intentional shadow - given the difficulty level of the photo (as in - not getting run over), I'd say it's still a great photo... and - you can always tell people you did it on purpose to bring out the potency of the words young, chance, and more ;)
