Candy Store!

I found this place in Fort Wayne, Indiana's inner city a couple weeks ago! The building looks abandoned, but its so creepy, I cannot imagine buying candy there even when it was open!

Shot on the dearly missed Neopan 1600 at EI-640 developed in D-76 1+1. Leica M6 and 50mm tabbed Summicron.

Your shot does have that creepy factor to it. And think of all the things that euphemism could stand for. Nice, tight composition Chris.

Thanks Paul & Farlymac. The building is small and looks like it had once been something like an auto repair garage. Not big enough to be a nightclub, and very industrial looking.

Chris,
Did you back up and take a picture of the building in its surroundings? If so, I'd like to see that too. I see the image you've posted as a bit on the straight graphics-type image (form only). It'd be nice to see more of the building to put in context... then it'd be more about 'place'.

No, i didn't. From far enough away to see the whole building, the text on the door was hard to read, and that is all that really made the building interesting 😛
