Ruta Federal 29, San Carlos, Coahuila, January 2002
In the winter, even though the temperatures don't really dip too low, outdoor eating venues are shuttered up. I ran across this refreshment stand, and was so floored by the desolation, that I shot it with an 81B warming filter
, and then desaturated the image after scanning (a departure from my usual processing, which is why this image is not included on my website).
The resultant image is a place out of time and mind, although the Siempre Coca Cola
advertisement places it in the 1990s, though in less than a decade, sun and sand worked twenty years damage on it.
