The Fates of Some Fading Signs
The Schuster Electric Co. sign was once relatively obscured, hidden behind a parking garage. For a short time, it once again saw the light of day. When a new building went up nearby, it survived. If you know where to look, you can still find it. Meanwhile, other signs aren't so lucky.
Fading Advertisements: Obama on Liberty Street
After spending the past two years documenting fading advertisements, this one doesn't really follow the theme of all those I featured in the book. Nevertheless, in a way, it was an advertisement of support for the 44th President of the United Sates and for Ollie's Trolley, the business it stands behind on Liberty Street in Cincinnati's Over-The-Rhine neighborhood. Photographed on January 19th, 2017, I felt it was an interesting thing to document on the eve of President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. One historical election to the next.
