Southern Sad

There's a building near Lookout Mt. in Chattanooga, called the Southern Saddlery Building. It houses various tenants, including an Italian restaurant (Boccaccia), a digital media company, North Light Imaging (a photo lab), and various professional offices.

If you stand in the parking lot and frame up the logo on the building just right, you get this.

Southern Sad

I like it. This is the portion of the building where lots of therapists and counselors have their offices. I wonder if they've ever looked at the sign and picked up on what it could say...

The print lab, North Light Imaging, offers giclée printing.  I'm interested to see how expensive it is and how I like the quality compared to something from Image Wizards. 

I shot "Southern Sad" on a Canon G11. 8.1mm, iso 200, ss 1/160, f/4.5. Edited in LR3. Curves & LAB adjustments in CS5. I toyed with removing the telephone pole, but decided against it. I think I want to shoot this again, but at night. Maybe then there wouldn't be any cars and I could play around with one long exposure, and a few flash lit exposures layered together.
