A weathered country store in Shelby, Texas, shot with a Nikon D80, converted to BW, and given a pale peach tint and a touch of noise to carry out the vintage look.
Shelby is located where the Gulf Coast Plains of Houston, Galveston, and Katy start to merge with the rolling hills of the Texas Hill Country. I was here for a wildflower shoot and spotted this business, which I've stopped at in the past. Groceries, hardware, feed, and fertilizer are sold here. There's an old gas pump.
The owner was kind enough to give me permission to photograph the store, including the interior, as well as surrounding buildings that you will find in this gallery. The owner's father hand-painted the signs and built this with his hands. A property release is on file.

Feature...
This true aesthetic loves beautiful things, from architecture to the intricate details of flowers and plants. A native Californian who lived in Arizona before settling in Texas, I love nature, topography, and exploring small towns, looking for old buildings, unique objects, and rust. I enjoy making scenes look interesting and natural, as I saw them, and worthy of a place in your home, your office, your life. For 15 years I worked as a dental hygienist. Then I spent 25 years as an award-winning writer, graphic designer, and editorial consultant--skills I still use in this venue and in helping others with special projects. This unique background, requiring discernment and perfection, helps ensure the quality of my work. I hope you will...
