It is ugly and unredeeming as a building but what it houses is even more so.
Should I be so fascinated by it?
It doesn't matter, I am.
I wonder about the people that work there. What a job.
It is open 24 hours, consider what the graveyard shift here would be like.
And I wonder about the people who are the patrons and who have to clean it.
This all becomes just an ordinary backdrop to them.
But to me, it is extraordinary enough to photograph.
It is literally a stones throw from prosperity and a version of respectibility.
I drive past this building and others advertising similar wares almost everyday with a van full of kids and have had to answer questions
The other thing I was thinking about, is in thirty or forty or fifty years - what will someone who sees this picture think?
Will it be such a foriegn idea to them? Will it seem quaint?

When I ask to photograph someone, it is because I love the way they look and I think I make that clear. I'm paying them a tremendous compliment. What I'm saying is, I want to take you home with me and look at you for the rest of my life. - Amy Arbus

Well, I would wonder about it too, the same way as you, gawdess.
I does make for an interesting image, very graphic(inadvertant pun).
I love the way you see and write about things.
Hmm, pictures of a triple X peep show, I like where your head's at.....muhahahaha...lol.
just kidding, it's still a nice shot, regardless of content.
