Mail Pouch

Well ... I'm not sure any photographer truly shoots photos at random ... even the Google car guys are photographing specific streets! This photo was taken at 60 mph during one of the few times I was riding shotgun.

Wow, fabulous subject to photograph! You captured it quite well while speeding by that fast; it isn't easy to do. Well done, Norm! :-)

very characterful building, nicely done for a drive-by too, must remember the Mail Pouch brand next time I'm buying chewing tobacco . . .

I've been attempting to do that for the last two weeks and it's hard to get a good shot moving at 75 miles an hour as well. I love those old barns painted like this, Norm. Great catch!

I wouldn't try it with film! I set the camera to continuous and hold the button down! :-)

Thanks Paul! I think about it from time-to-time, but it's nearly a two hour drive away in a direction I rarely go! :-)

Norm.. this is awesome.. looks like you took this shot from my missing spare broom? I love old barns and such.. they are just so photogenic.

Thanks Wendi! Most are passing into history and a photo is the only way left to preserve most of them! I prefer trucks to brooms ... more payload! :-)
