Now That's a Stretch

 

This picture was supposed to be stylish when I took it, but now it's nostalgia in several ways. First, in a recent flood my only print of this picture was lost. You are looking at an edited scan from the negative. Second, it was taken more than two decades ago. Third, at the time I took the photo I lived about a half mile from the scene. And finally, this bakery, which opened in 1931, recently employed a family member.

So what was supposed to be stylish? The two red streaks across the photo. They were created by opening the shutter using a shutter release on the bulb setting while a car crossed the entire field of the lens. Just a fun technique I was trying out.
