Keep working your subject until you get what you want out of your photo

While in Issaquah this past weekend, I had the opportunity to photograph the restored Hailstone Feed Store on Front Street. On the back is a restored advertisement for Owl Cigars. I loved the graphic and historic design of the lettering.

Below are 3 shots I took in succession. The first is the straight on graphic shot. Then, I moved to an angle so I could include both the 5 and 25 cents in the same image without adding too much background. The final image is a study in lines, directionality and reflections.
