The Wild West Photography Tour. Route 66, 2nd stop.

A little general store was a treasure trove of photographic opportunities.   As we had strictly limited the photographers on this trip so that they had plenty of teaching time and space, I was not an ‘official’ shooter. This meant that any shots of the models were ‘grab’ shots ensuring that I didn’t get in the way of anyone else. This actually suited me just fine and the bonus was that I had plenty of time to wander off with my camera and explore other opportunities.

 

There were old rusting cars abandoned everywhere and tucked away round the back was a music hall that looked like it had come from a stage set on an old spaghetti western.

It looks like quite a few people used this sign for target practice., The Wild West Photography Tour. Route 66, 2nd stop.

Details, details…..

Inside the store was just as quirky as outside.  And they sold ice creams – just what was needed on a punishingly hot afternoon.

You don’t see the Union Jack flag in the UK unless it’s a special occasion.  It’s the complete opposite in the USA.  No excuse needed.

Our first day’s shooting completed it was time to move on.  I’m glad we weren’t waiting for a coach though……, The Wild West Photography Tour. Route 66, 2nd stop.
