Description
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.
