Every time I see a Starbucks I'm glad I don't drink coffee (never have, probably never will). I hate the mall as well, although when I go visit my mom in PA, I can't help but go to the giant mall - and then I remember why I hate it
The Dreaded Mall? I think I know what you are saying! The photo sure emphasizes as to what the hub of this place is. I need a Vente drip to get me through visiting my Dreaded Mall.
I'd love to see you contrast it with a warm cozy cafe shot. The isle in the mall has such a harsh, hurried feel to it. Grab your caffeine and jump back into the race. The colors capture the atmosphere of the coffee stand perfectly . Now for a warm cafe shot with soothing Latin Guitar in the background...aaaahhh! C.
Great shot, definitely colod and sterile. Just emphasizes how everyone is trying to be a conformist while spouting individuality. Processing was spot on.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.

ReplyDeleteI love your Dreaded Mall shots, this looks like you are hiding on the balcony waiting for a moment to escape...
ReplyDeleteYour processing really emphasises your dreaded mall theory.
ReplyDeleteIt has a cool vintagey look. Starubucks is a rare treat for me. Although I am not a coffee drinker, I do enjoy their peppermint cocoa.

I am doing a personal "No Starbucks for a Year" challenge. Doing well so far. Now, if only I could figure a way to avoid the Dreaded Mall as well....
ReplyDeletereminds me of the "pictures of an exhibition", fine shot anyhow
ReplyDeleteCool shot. Has a "1984" look to it.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, definitely colod and sterile. Just emphasizes how everyone is trying to be a conformist while spouting individuality. Processing was spot on.
ReplyDeleteGreat depiction of the atmosphere of the mall. I'm not a coffee drinker either but love the smell. At least that doesn't cost a penny!
