Abandoned Retail Store

Former Lowes Store
Originally uploaded by Dornoff Photography

I took my car down for its regular servicing and of course took my camera along knowing that I would find something to photography along the way.

Across from the dealership formerly known as Butterfield Ford is a former Lowe's store that moved about a mile to the east. The former store sits abandoned right at the off ramp of 9000 South and Interstate 15 making a welcoming sight to people coming into the city of Sandy.

This photo looks into the former garden shop of the store and looks to be taking a heavy hit from not being used. I took this picture to emphasize the weeds growing in the walkways to give it even a more abandoned look. The black and white further gives it a more depressed look.

Photo on New West

My photo that I called missing parts and featured on my blog previously is the feature photo today on the mountain west oriented blog "New West".

So here is the same photo that is in the blog but done in black and white instead. The photo was taken in the yard of the Heber Valley Railroad back on September 19th.

While yesterday I presented a photo in Black and White, today's photo is brought to you in Sepia. What Sepia does is make the picture look like an old time photo. I especially like using this technique on older and abandoned buildings.

This shot screamed to be done in Sepia. This building sits on the north side of Bluff, Utah along US Highway 191. Apparently the building is used as a restaurant but was closed during our visit. The old car in front of the building gives a feeling of abandonment.
