Western Appliance - a photo on Flickriver

Western Appliance

            This was one of my first iPhone manipulations when I got into that sort of thing. Now I mostly do these treatments in Photoshop, but for a while there I had a lot of fun seeing what I could do entirely on my iPhone + apps. I remember my Mom was visiting and I dragged her around San Jose one night shooting signs. (I know how to show people a good time.)

This photo was taken around ten years ago. The sign is iconic in the South Bay, towering above the buildings on West San Carlos. However, Western Appliance closed for good a few months ago and the sign is now dark, its fate uncertain. I printed this image this week because I exchanged it for some professional work. I think the print came out nice.
