On the way home, I stopped at "On A Shoestring" antique store. It is the kind of place that has built its own unique charm over the years. Before today, I had never photographed inside. The shop is on my way home from work, so I drive by the place at least 10 times every week (assuming I work a five day week). The owner was gracious and receptive to letting me wander about with my camera. The next time I go, I will take my tripod inside with me. I was trying to be less invasive today so my shots were hand held and the results were mixed. The lighting is very low in many places and I honestly don't care for flash photography as a general rule. With the tripod, I will be able to take the shots I want with the longer exposures and not have to worry about keeping the camera steady.

Today's shot is of the cash register. The shop exudes warmth from a place long gone. It is somewhat like time travel to walk around in the house (the shop is in an old house).

Tonight's song is by Fink (UK), titled "So Long" from the "Biscuits for Breakfast" album.
