One Sunday a few months back I went on a small little day road trip with a friend of mine to some towns about an hour south of Chicago along the Kankakee River. Its an area I've never been to so that was really appealing to me. This image was made in a random town that we ran into I believe it was called Momence, IL. I would say it was your typical small town business area, one real main area with a few storefronts. I seem gravitate toward photographing storefronts maybe because of all the stories that came be found in them. This storefront was no different, a few things drew me to make this image one was the light that was later afternoon type going though that store window..The light brought out that dusty rustic feel and the warm color just created a nice atmosphere. History was another thing that drew me to making the image. It seems like this town values history and it shows my creating this memorial like scene of a previous business that used to be there for all to see...
