AND THE SIGN SAYS...

One of my favorite signs.
These signs paper Over the Rhine, an inner Cincinnati neighborhood. They're on the side walls of the grocery store, neighborhood mission churches, boarded up buildings. All over.  
I think someone should tack up a few out in suburbia. 
Used the economy lens combo again.  Not that a giant poster announcing the arrival of syphilis needs much extra effect.

I think it was gritty enough to start with, just thinking of the old cure method Ouch!

eye-catching sign. Agree that should be out in suburbia as well.

Hope the message gets out there - your processing adds to the menace of the threat.

Wow, I would love to see that hanging here in conservative Nebraska...that would raise an eyebrow or two!

Nice treatment of a message that needs to be seen everywhere.

Wonderfully shot.

The sign itself would be enough to scare some surburbanites inside let alone the message! Great catch for your sign series and the lens method really suited the subject.
