Hi, I'm Marilyn. Â I've been posting here on RR for a few years now and thought it was time to update my profile. Â It's been wonderful learning so much from the amazingly talented people here. Â I've had the chance to meet many in person and some have become great and good friends. Â Starting with a Kodak Brownie camera when I was about 7 or 8, moving up to Instamatics, Polaroids, then the Pentax K1000 that really got me on the way, I've been looking at the world thru a lens for a long time. Â Got the bug honestly; my dad was a photographer and gave me the gene!! Â Digital changed the world and I jumped in with both feet. Â You would've gone thru 100's of rolls of film in one day the way we can shoot and delete all day long. Â Progess...it can be awesome sometimes.
At any rate, RR rocks, the talent is over the top and I'm just gonna keep on shooting!!
Thanks for looking and keep those cameras rollin'!!
peace.....marilyn

It is interesting how many old places like that are still in existence at some level.

Wonderful capture - do we dare ask what the Blue Plate Special is?

Cool retro neon signage - I wonder if it still works & lights up at night? My son used to manage a health food store in Truckee years ago & he & his wife had a beautiful outdoor wedding at Donner Lake...

I remember back when this kind of place was all that there was on road trips; the good old days, eh? Nice shot!

a fine shot of a beautiful old decaying sign. You got the grid on the sign (the backing), and the strange twisted neon tubing. And the bottom "kitchens" with all that soot. And the branches and sky behind it. A real slice of Americana, with big light and shadow, and the feeling of how old and out-of-date these places are. You almost expect the owner of the Bates Motel to show up...Fine piece of photographic work, Marilyn. Not easy to make a sign like this 'sing'.
(It strikes me that I'm about to comment on 15 or 16 of your images in a row. And I think, you have to sit through all these in one sitting! Sorry! I didn't realize I'd fallen this far behind---I was off of RR much of the time you posted these, unfortunately; and now that I'm back for a few days, I'm catching up all at once. So hope a big dose of my comments doesn't set you into a trance of exhaustion!)
