Best retail photos of the summer
I took quite a few retail photos this summer, and while posts like this aren't what I generally like to write, I wanted to post my photos somewhere. I don't have a new Flickr or anything figured out yet, so for the time being this is what I'm going to do. (500px seemed promising until I learned that I could only upload seven photos a week on the free plan)

Great pictures! I wish we had better websites to upload our photos without a paywall. I used to use Photobucket back in the day, but now you need a subscription to upload a significant amount of pictures. For now, I guess I'll keep using sites like DeviantArt.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the photo of the abandoned Turkey Hill in Ronks that you took reminds me of an abandoned Turkey Hill in East York on Market st. that I used to pass by a lot. I should've taken photos of it, but perhaps next time I'm in that area, I will. Loved your photos.
Thanks! I may have to look into DeviantArt to upload my photos. The design used at the former Ronks and York Turkey Hill locations was pretty common back when they opened. It's hard to believe how few are left nowadays without gas. Glad you enjoyed the photos!
