iPhone with Hipstamatic app
The day I see this place torn down I'll lick my finger and make a check mark in the air. It's right on Main Street and it looks hideous.
Poverty, to be picturesque, should be rural. Suburban misery is as hideous as it is pitiable.

I have an equal disdain for MacMansions, at least this is honestly ugly...one Grant would actually find appeasing. [posted from picturesque rural poverty] : ] : ] best...jerry

I like the colorcast the picture has. It does look like an eye sore! Some things just need to go!

Cool little app you have, Sherri. Terrific shot! That is quite a common sight around here, unfortunately.

I have no clue what Hipstamatic app is, Sherri, but it definitely works for this image. Once again, the quote is perfect.

If all these sort of places are torn down, what will we photograph?!?

It does look hideous I can understand you lookign forward to when it has gone, and a super shot of it and love the processign highlighting even more how bad it is

It may look hideous but you have certainly given this old, sad place dignity and beauty! Sometimes change is a bit slow in coming...

Love how you did this. It almost makes you feel like you are there!
