People my age associate the name "Tuck's" with 1980s TV commercials for the hæmmorhoid treatment "Tucks Medicated Pads," named in honor of the act of "tucking" a small premoistened pad between the asscheeks, up against the hole. That lamppost is badly placed for people that want a picture that shows the sign.
Do you prefer the semicircular headmoulds on the third floor or the segmental headmoulds on the second floor.
Yeah yeah "Summa Scene," great.

A sign for an Army Navy Surplus store on Ben Yehuda Street. It was closed at the time, but I returned the next day. It was small and had some cool stuff, but it mostly did not interest me.
bel-aire manor motel and the birds-n-brooks army navy surplus store across the street in springfield, illinois.
We went to play Geeks Who Drink trivia and on the way home I saw this awesome neon sign as I passed the Army Navy Surplus store. As I drove by I thought, "I should take a photo of that." But kept driving. Why? If I should take a photo then just do it. So I drove around the block and took it. They also had neon "hunting" and "fishing"signs in their window. I kind of want them for the house. They're cool in a weird kitschy kind of way.
Using a pinhole camera with multiple apertures allows me to stretch beyond the idea of the single-click-from-one-perspective photograph.
There is a lot of freedom to play with the notions of time and space. The time between exposures may be counted in seconds, minutes, or days. Distances across space between each vignette may be a measure of inches or miles.
Snapped this from across the street, so it's not the best quality. I just noticed there's a bomb on the side of the sign. Um.
