Holy Smokes #002

I thought this was some place with the salt and pepper shakers handy on the windowsill. This was taken at Holy Smokes, it no longer exists as a restaurant, but it's a nice part of a series I've been working on. The windows were colored glass, as a church should have, and this one was warm with the warm toned finishing, so I thought it would make a good simple photograph. And that's just the thing, somethings are just so simple.

I like this place. Good food, good locals, great service. Usually they're loaded with people. I saw the chairs in the corner and wondered if this is the waiting area or where bad tippers sat. I like the tones and light here. I enjoy doing my Rest/Pub/Diner series as it allows me to sit, eat, drink, and take pictures. And then there's Keno!

I try to get a neat image, showing the ambiance and character of pubs/restaurants/diners that I go to. I don't just walk in and shoot it. Sometimes it's several visits before I see "the shot" or "feel it". Holy Smokes had a big pig attached to their ceiling, I shot this, but so did everyone else. I took this after eating their "Wicked" Spicy Mac and Cheese. Perfect!
