Cypress Street Store - Limited Edition 2 of 100 Photograph

Pigment Print On Gold Cotton Smooth Fine Art Paper The great Australian corner store is slowly becoming a thing of the past. With every year that passes more and more of these small business are going to the wall, due to completion from the big supermarkets. Eking out a living selling bread, milk, eggs and newspapers, I wonder how long it will be before sites like this become a thing of the past. This image was taken in Hervey Bay, on the east coast of Queensland, Australia. At the time, I was living in the house just behind the store, although you can’t see it in the image. The store sold the best free range eggs and I would go there especially to pick some up. Taking this shot was a bit tricky. I set my camera up on the opposite site of the road. I kept on moving around to find the best composition for the image. The Sun was going down and I wanted to find the perfect spot before it disappeared. This resulted in me moving into the road with my tripod and camera and trying to compose the shot without getting run over. This obviously attracted some attention, because the store owner came out of the shop and asked me what I was doing. I suppose it does look a bit weird someone taking photos of your business. I explained what I was doing and she seemed ok with it. For me it is sights like this that will always remind me of Australia.
