Description
This is a drawing of the door to a country store and gas station in Starkville, Mississippi. As I was walking in the door to pay for my gas, I noticed the intense, bright reflection of the gas pump in the door and stopped to take a picture. The door acted as a frame on the scene, and the scuff marks, peeling paint, old bench, and generally worn appearance all captured perfectly--to me--the character of these old country stores around which so many rural southern communities were centered.
