Drug Store, Hood River, Oregon, 2008

The drug store within this building has become a toy store, yet its refurbished 1920’s sign dominates the center of town and gives this community a symbolic vision of its own roots. It also recalls a long gone era of photography itself, an era replete with folding cameras and the now nearly obsolete medium of film. I include the diagonal slope of the yellow curb, leading to a yellow hydrant, as context. That curb, and the fence above it, echo the thrust of the bold line underscoring the name of the drug store itself.
