Americana Heaven…..

When we did the Americana Workshop in Roanoke, we did a one day trip up to Lynchburg, another great Americana town.  A must stop for any antique hunter or photographer is Rick’s Antiques and General Store.  This two story building is a treasure trove of great items to by or phbotograph.  I met Rick and we had a nice conversation she welcomed my group with good old southern charm!  Rick’s will be a definite stop in future workshops in the area!  Let me share some of the killer shots I was able to get in his store, and outside as well!  But first here is Rick!

 

 

Not only does Rick have a great collection of wonderful subjects, but his warmth was much appreciated!!!

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

So if you happen to put 1090 Lindsay Road in your GPS in Forest, VA and roll up on Rick’s great store, know he will welcome you with open arms (on Saturday’s and Sundays) – he’s closed during the week!), but be a good photographer and find something to buy, let’s keep this guy in business, really neat guy, and place!!!

 

Blessings,

    Looks like a great find. Since Nelson, I’ve been keeping my eye out for places like this.

      Let us know Tom, what you discover!!! I’m trying to build a data base for all photographers interested in this kind of subject matter!
