Antelope Café, Antelope, Oregon, 2008

This is the only café in Antelope, a small town that has probably seen better days. Yet tourists do come to Antelope to photograph its decaying buildings, and some stop here for a cup of coffee and a muffin. I made this image of its lone employee as I talked with her about the future of Antelope. She seems resigned to her task, yet she talks also of opportunities elsewhere. She is surrounded by the details that make a café a café. The menus, posters, and decorations tell us what she sells, and where she is.
