Rocheport Gen. Store

this is my one day story. i've got several images i'm happy with but i'm not sure exactly how to make it coherent in a five-picture package. i'm not going to follow anyone around for a story but rather focus more on this place as a gathering spot for a small community. let me know what works. -jim











two shots, same idea. not sure which one i like better, or whether i want to let the text do the talking as much as it does in these two. i only want to have the words "rocheport general store" in there once, if at all, and i've got a picture down the page with that text as well, so at least one has to go.







traveling... traveling... traveling...




...hiding





two detail shots... again not sure which one i like more but one will probably need to be in there.





sherrie ingram, the owner, who was very sweet and had her hands full with all her kids running around. i want to say she had six, but it could be more.





three men and a baby (there were actually 4 but i cropped one guy out for the sake of that outdated pop culture reference). the guy raising his hand rode a unicycle right in front of the store literally 30 seconds after i'd been outside waiting for an opener for 15 minutes and came back in cause no one was around.






standard band shot... probably going to be axed.






here's the other one w/ text. it kind of dominates the photo - i tried to layer this but that might be all people look at. plus it's dark... shrug.
