San Agustin - City of Saint Augustin

Founded in 1565 by Spanish explorers, it is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement within the borders of the continental United States. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Augustine,_Florida)

The Decisive Moment

(chances to repeat it and take another shot were and are minimal)

 

So - like every May - I brought my car to my favorite local car mechanic shop to have the vehicle checked and registered, and I was waiting for the owner's brother to drive me home. I was sitting in the shop office when I heard bits of conversations going on in the adjacent room. One of mechanics spoke about getting the boss to have his hair cut and how difficult it was to catch him at his spare time (he has none!) Then I heard a female voice...

It was so intriguing that I peeked there and that's what I saw :o

So I grabbed my little camera and pleaded: "Can I take a shot of you two? Please..."

They agreed so I leaned against a door frame and clicked the shutter hoping that my faithful XA would manage exposition in spite of harsh light conditions.

And that was it. They were finished by the time when I rewound the film.

So no another shot then. And effectively no means to predict when the next session will occur.

Was it the Decisive Moment? I think so!

...and enjoy your refreshing

One of the often seen car show accessories to remind us of the good old days of drive-ins and car hops.

My second try with red scale photo. This time I had a Fuji X-tra superia 400, but I think I have to use a higer Iso next time. Still had to overexpose the negative to get something out of it.

I can't really imagine the need to have a car wash that's open around the clock, but there are several here in New York that I know of. I guess they cater mostly to taxi cabs and people who work on the overnight shifts.

This place looks kind of empty and lonesome but it is, in fact, open. New York truly is "The City that Never Sleeps"!

Thanks for looking, everybody!

I find these quick oil change places quite intriguing. So many interesting tools and things...

Passing nearby I noticed this elegant couple, who were patiently waiting for their car to complete its annual technical inspection.

Do not forget to have a break on a long day, especially if its a hot and sunny day.

I've been working past 10pm (and later)... for many many weeks now.

luckily there is always a car (service) waiting to take me home.

Changing oil was easier decades ago- today you have to screw of a lot of parts

This place seems to be called, variously, the simply descriptive "Seventh Avenue Car Service" and the more evocative "Cheers Car Service." (718) 965-4242

New Service called SE/URF hopes to pick up the slack now that behemoths UBER and LYFT have had their wings clipped by new NYC Regulations. Denied investment cash by Silicon Valley Venture Capitalists due to its "low tech" approach, the start-up managed to find sufficient seed money by going through the seat cushions of their initial fleet of 'vehicles' donated by family and friends. The company is starting a slow and somewhat bumpy roll-out this week.
