Vintage Austin Sign
So a friend of mine is working on a project where he buys old postcards and then seeks out the current day location from the image on the postcard. As you can imagine often he would find nothing that remains as a landmark comparison, but occasionally there is a single thing that remains that in itself was the landmark.
This sign is all that remains of the original St. Elmo-tel. Get it El MOTEL?. The original sign stands on a street corner in South Austin with nothing more than a drainage ditch behind it right on a corner with a turn signal.
While he worked I fired off a couple of shots and thought it would be cool to process in a more retro way to partner the design of the signage. This was the end result...
Shot at midnight with a Nikon D5000, Tamron 28-75mm lens while firing the onboard flash.
