Throwback Thursday - Fats Express

 Here's one from November 2015, I wonder how I'd shoot this now?  I reprocessed it, primarily
because I used to save everything at 1024 px on the long side:



This was taken somewhere in Belleville, IL.  I'm not sure if I could find it again, or if it is even still there.

Oh well.

I uploaded this to ChatGPT, along with 2 others from Nov. 2015, and asked how it compares with my current work.  It said:

"This is the strongest of the three, and the one most aligned with your current aesthetic. The controlled palette, architectural rhythm, and sense of quiet endurance all anticipate your mature voice. The framing feels deliberate, the tones restrained, and the textures observed rather than dramatized — hallmarks of your present visual language. It’s a clear bridge between your early vernacular curiosity and your later contemplative precision."
