This is a failed exposure. Shot Eastman Kodak Vision2 5218 500t at EI / ISO 800 and it was not very successful. Underexposed, overdeveloped fun. Evanston, Wyoming Hardware Store
A closer view of the famous Pippo's Hardware ghost sign in Whitehall, New York. Compare to a 2014 photo to see how much it faded in eight years.
A short trip to Castle Donington, and with 20 minutes to kill, had a wander around with my camera.

From the parts drawers, bins, and bottles in the shop. I'll save anyone the count; there are 74 pieces.

An "old skool" family-owned hardware shop, in north San Bernardino, California. It's like something you would see in a small town, except this is in a big city. It almost looks like something you would have seen 50 years ago. (Well okay, except for the bars on the windows. That's a clue that this picture was taken in modern times).
I took this with my Brownie 2A box camera and Kodak Plus-X film. I always thought this building was kind of interesting, because it's actually on a residential street, just a few blocks from where I live. It just seems so out of place. The building looks like it's been there forever, like probably since at least the 1940's or 50's. So I thought it would be an interesting subject for an antique box camera and black and white film.
This is a contact print I made directly from the negative. The Brownie 2A actually takes pretty sharp pictures. You can see a lot of details in the print, even all the signs in the windows.
……Titter ye not!! So this is what Juxtaposition means in photography then? Had a trip over to Shrewsbury this morning and on the way back to the car by the Abbey we spotted this cast off hanging on the side gate of the Abbey Hardware & Tool shop. So it just had to be my iPhoneaday 365 shot didn’t it. Bit cold to be without I would have thought! As the saying goes 'Ne'er cast a clout till May be out' 😊 Alan:-)……..

How it used to be. (Minus the railings at the roadside, as they would have blocked the view.) Acrylic on canvas board.
Tupelo Hardware is arguably the most famous of landmarks in Tupelo, MS. It seems that every week there is a tour bus, no kidding, that is parked beside it. You see, it was here that Tupelo's most famous native son, Elvis Aaron Presley, had a guitar purchased for him, and the world of music would never be the same again.
Tucked into a charming stretch of 17th Street NW in Washington, D.C.'s Dupont Circle neighborhood, Hardware on 17th is more than just a hardware store — it’s a beloved neighborhood institution. Captured here at the golden hour when the soft light from the shop’s windows spills warmly onto the sidewalk, the storefront radiates an inviting, old-fashioned charm that feels increasingly rare in a rapidly modernizing city.
With its crisp white woodwork, large bay windows, and the historic True Value sign overhead, the building looks much as it might have decades ago. The shop specializes in practical, everyday essentials — paint, keys, garden tools — but it also embraces a bit of whimsy, as seen in the colorful, eclectic window displays showcasing everything from watering cans to kitchen gadgets. The vintage Benjamin Moore sign above the paint section hints at the shop’s long-standing commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
In a city often defined by monumental architecture and stately avenues, the cozy, human scale of this block — and Hardware on 17th specifically — offers a refreshing counterpoint. It’s a reminder that D.C. isn’t just a capital of politics; it’s a collection of distinct neighborhoods where small businesses like this one create the daily texture of city life.
Photographed during a quiet evening just after sunset, the image highlights the subtle beauty of everyday urban spaces. Bare winter tree branches frame the building above, while the warm interior glow draws the eye inward, evoking feelings of community, resilience, and comfort.
Whether you're stopping by for a can of paint, a spare key, or simply a friendly chat with the staff, Hardware on 17th remains a touchstone of neighborhood life — a reassuring constant in a city that is always evolving.
Sad to see a wonderful old store closed down.
Kelly's Hardware store in Market Street, Downpatrick, closed its doors for that last time a few weeks ago after more than 100 years of trading.
It was a place to go for so many things including gardening stuff, fishing tackle as well as every sort of household hardware and DIY stuff. It used to be a good bit bigger and had included homewear/kitchenware but it had shrunk down to a smaller size about 10 years ago.
I am as guilty of anyone else in going on-line for things I would previously have got in Kelly's. The truth is it is easier to order on Amazon than travel 4 miles and we like things to be easy.
here is a beautifully told (and quite short) story in this BBC news video about Mr Oliver Tumelty who worked in the shop for 66 years (yes thats not an error, he worked in the shop for 66 years!) www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-northern-ireland-58995152

It's a week before tomb-sweeping day, and the hardware store in Honglu Jie has a selection of grave goods for sale alongside its normal merchandise. Loco No.3 passes with empties for Hongluchang.

Union Hardware is no more, but their quirky murals remain. I hope who ever takes over the space maintains them.
