Last Chance for Tax Free Gas

As you have probably noticed, I gave up on living in Colorado ... long story ... if you want more details, shoot me an e-mail.

 

I have moved BACK to Western New York (the Buffalo area) where I grew up.

 

You know I pretty much usually only want to discuss photography here ... and typically avoid any controversial conversations. But I thought these photos would be interesting.

 

About an hour south of Buffalo is Seneca Nation land. If you know anything about New York State, you know that there is a tax or toll on just about everything. If you live near Reservation land, you know that you can purchase tariff free gasoline and cigarettes. The taxes are VERY high, so it's often worth the drive to make the purchase....

 

Thoughts?

Any comments or ratings are appreciated!

It's a _photo_ forum. It's a nice snapshot. Thanks for posting.

Thanks ... I know it's a _photo_ forum, and if you look through my portfolio, you'll see that for about five years I've been participating solely as a photographer, never attempting to get into any controversy. I'm not even making a statement here ... not landing on one side or another with this issue. Let's say that I'm attempting a little bit of photo journalism or documentary photography.........
