…and the Ghostly Kirk.
This building was (at the time of the fire that destroyed it) known as the King Solomon Building, which also housed the offices of Travel Span airlines. Growing up, I always knew it as Joe Chin Travel Services. It was the building next to the lot that housed the Sacred Heart Church, also destroyed by fire.
It makes me wonder about the other buildings on the block, maybe I should take some photos of them before something dreadful (and permanent) also happens to them 🙂
I titled this photo the Midday Sleeper and the Ghostly Kirk. The “Midday Sleeper” part is an homage to a series of photos by a photographer (Simon) that I know as Darkhalide Photography, and the “Ghostly Kirk” is a reference to the ghostly reflection of my friend Kirk in the glass panel to the right of the doorway, I don’t think you can see it unless viewed very large.
Interesting story. It is curious the number of different tales that are told by different photographers as their reason for taking a particular photo.
