This particular picture is interesting to look at.  Me personally i like night and dusk pictures becasue the colors of the sky are blue and beautiful.  The lights from the sign and from the cafe brighten up the image and makes me want to look at it more and more.  Each time i look at this image i see something new that i didnt see before.  I like the ice cream cone on the top of the sign becasuse it just pops.  I love the feel of this image becasue it gives a hometown feeling like this cafe is just around the corner from where i grew up.  I like the vignette becasue it focuses the eye in the middle where all the lights and centerpoint of the sky resides :)

  1. For me, this image wonderfully captures a sense of place and time and evokes a nostalgia for a grittier, but happier chain-store-less past. I wonder if photographs like this become better over time.
