Needless Things: Taken in Downtown Jacksonville, Florida

in #photography7 years ago

There was a vacant storefront for a period in Downtown Jacksonville across the street from the Jacksonville Public Library. I used to pass it quite often when I would be taking my kids to the library to rent books and one day I decided that I should take some pictures of it before they took the sign down. I decided to take the picture in black & white as it seemed to fit the vibe it gave off.

I wish that when I took the picture that I took the time to investigate a bit more about the history of the storefront but alas I did not. At least I have the picture to share with everyone here. 🙂

I would like to know what kind of vibe you get when you see this picture and see the storefront title 'Needless Things?' Does it give you a vintage retro feel where black & white does this photo justice? That pretty much sums up the feeling I got from it when I would see it.

Are there any old buildings or storefronts in your area where you live? Have you ever thought about making posts dedicated to urban decay, deindustrialisation​, gentrification and modern ruins? I do find such things fascinating​ to discover​ the history behind the old ruins and pictures.

It seems to me like a bar than a library, maybe the black & white effect is doing that, there are ruined buildings were I live and I wish that I would do some photography there as the pics really tell a lot about these buildings

this includes a very good photo, keep on sharing @ozhiya.

Wow ! extraordinary photography

It's a good name for a store. Lol. What do you think about the name "needless things"

this was written on a store? may be it was to attract the attention of people..

and my dear @ozhiya, 4 years ago, when it was my first semester, our whole class went to a place where there were ruins of 1000 years old buildings, A castle and a Mosque.. these buildings were on the top of a mountain and it took more than 2 hours to climb there, may be I do have pics of that place somewhere in my computer..
