Slums of North Virginia, banking edition

Slums of North Virginia, banking edition, a photo by pvera on Flickr.

When I was a kid banks conveyed power, security, money. There was a lot of brass, marble and glass. I would have never dreamed of seeing a bank housed in something no different than where you would cram a fast food joint. And this is one of the richest counties in the country, but it is almost as if they are ashamed of being recognized as a bank.

This is a composite, the top half was filtered in green because I wanted the bricks to pop, the bottom half was filtered in red because +Ivette Vera did not want the flowers to get lost.

Ivette says I take too many photos of signs.
