Subject: [Leica] Don's PAW 34 abstracts and stranger's ala Graham
From: "Don Dory" <dorysrus@mindspring.com>

The first selection is an abstract taken at an Antique Store catering to the
film industry: although you wouldn't see that from this picture.  An
abstract in black and chrome.

The second is in imitation of Graham's self imposed project of shooting
strangers.  While I haven't had any shyness about sticking a lens in
someone's face, I rather like the concept of using this format to show where
I live.  Terry is a sign painter working at an Antique store catering to the
film industry.  Lots of period literature and signs that add authenticity to
a location.  His job is to either restore a sign to what it looked like or
to "antique" a sign to make it look more worn than it is.  He has been
working there for eight some years and rather enjoys this piece of Atlanta.
