Volume 23 is a twin with FOOD (#21) except that the images consist of signs, colors, and architecture of cafes and bars all over the country. Many of these small town joints will be gone soon.
The Blue Kitchen, near St. Martinville, Louisiana, must have housed some fantastic Cajun food and local folklore but its shell remains to be photographed before it is torn down and hauled away. The back cover was a truly serendipitous shot of two working class heroes sitting on bar stools in a Seattle barbeque joint. I was waiting for my pork links and decided to shoot what was in front of me.
