Jeff - a fascinating series; the PP is just right for this sort of thing. Reminds me of the Twilight Zone, and that's a good thing.

Wow, these really are a throwback in time. I can see why the last two images would evoke the 'twilight zone', but I think the others remind me of some early European movies in which all kinds of paraphenalia appeared. Love the look of the whole place, and I just noticed the old phone! Wonderful series that looks like it was taken in natural light.

Great series Jeff. Very moody. JIM

Yes, everything they said and more!!

Definitely a short walk through history - nice PP'ing too. Well done Jeff - great series...

Regards,
Marc

Whoa, awesome set Jeff. Where did you find this place? I could spend days in there.

particularly the lower left one

Whoa, Jeff these are awesome. I bet you'll be using these in some of your book illustrations.

Thanks all. I was hoping this would appeal to some of you. Any diehard film shooters out there who remember Joe Louis and Will Rogers?

Found it on one of my East Texas rambles Gary. Some of these little towns are like the land that time forgot.

Ray you got that right!

Book covers... what?

(If you were not going to use some of them for book covers, I'd be very disappointed...

)

this is just too cool!!

what a great place, Jeff! I really like the light and your PP, I get a feeling of being displaced in time.

Amidst all the clutter (almost psychotic!), these are great shots of antique clockwork.
The lighting's so beautifully appropriate for the setting and the colours came out brilliantly.

Fun stuff, love the setting and mood. Number 3 and the last two especially, have that
( to copy Sailor's expression ) twilight zone feel.

Nice series! That place seems like it would be kind of eery, especially if all of those clocks are operating in sync! :P

That is way cool - a place where time certainly does not stand still - I'll bet some of those are worth a $1.98 or so.
