Oh dear, Cee! I have so few storefront signs — you have seen these before I think, though I had fun using saturation to remove color intensity while still keeping a tinge of hue. Hope you enjoy them, and congrats on your interview. Will read it in a quiet moment!

Hi Cee. Saw your Store Front Challenge, and reversed my steps at Point Reyes Station to grab up a few of their wonderful shop fronts. Love your church prosthetics sign. Great find.

Thankyou it has been many months in the build up, like so many things I have to build up and plan things especially when so many other photographers like yourself are amazing and mine are not quite the same standard. It took a while to accept that with the weight of camera I can use and my limited balance and views I am at a point where I feel ready to share 😀

All of your photos are great, but my absolute favorite of this set is the Nordstrom photo with the other buildings reflecting in the glass. I *love* reflection shots. It isn’t always easy to get a good one, much less a great one. You did great!
