This is one of my favorites even though I
spent most of that night sitting on the curb
listening to my engine gurgle and spit
(damaged a gasket somewhere in Tennessee),
drinking coffee from a paper cup and trying
to calculate the number of quarts of oil I
would need to get home (turned out to be
almost two cases of good old 20W50 and we
smoked like a chimney but if you go fast
enough...). At some point in the chilly
middle of the night it became deserted...

Very cool. I like the way the light falls
off so quickly as you move outward from the
area under the roof.

Outstanding!
this would have inspired Edward Hopper to
turn it into a painting. I wish I was not so
speechless and could write more praise.

This is fun. I do like the way the image
fades to black around the edges. Were you
driving the cat with wheels?
I had to think that anywhere but New Jersey
and Oregon, you could still use plastic to
buy gas and pump it yourself.
Here in Oregon, we're to stupid to know how
to do that right.

I love this. Great moment to capture, the
serenity of a place that is usually bustling
with noisy cars and people.

first photo of yours I saw.
Still wow!

With the night so black - pitch black - it
looks like the gas station is a well lighted
model in a studio. Job well done. Great
exposure!

Fueling stations are interesting things. The
old ones that have been resurrected for new
use make me smile. The new uber stations are
kind of scary in a New Topographics kind of
way. I like your image and have just joined
the utata group thanks to a friend pointing
out that I might dig it there. cheers. www.flickr.com/photos/carmon/78058704/

Oh gosh, yah - here's me - ten months later
answering questions :)
Yah, I was driving Alice (check the Alice
tag although I really don't have any pics of
her up here for some reason). Head gasket. We
got home. Barely. She's fine now.
But I tell you, we threw oil all the way
home - not leaked it, not burned it (well,
burned it off the top of the engine), *threw*
it. Wild drive.

A very striking image! Also reminiscent of

at the Venice Biennalle when he represented
the US last year.
