Exxon

I know that I wanted to say away for big name places, but I could not pass up a chances of photographing this place. When I was here the only person that was working was the owner, he was extremely polite, and extremely helpful.

Kent McCutchen, is the owner of this Exxon, this is the only place that I know of that is a service station, yes this Exxon does minor repairs. McCutchen has owned the Exxon for 27 years, but the station has been there for 43 years. McCutchen explained to me that lots of things have changed over the years, the business changes by up and down. He also told me that when he was a child the stations did not have a convention store with the station, they were a lot more service stations.

These images are working prints.

Stay focus

Finals are coming up and it is just going to get even more crazier. This week has been busy, I have not gotten a chance to photograph this week. I plan to go to a few places in Greenvile, and try to get talk to the owner of a place in commerce.

I just need to stay calm and stay focus on what i need to get done, and stay with the plan.

D & E Discount Tire Auto Supply

They have been opened for about 33 years, over the years it has changed do to technology. Next to the Shop they have a parts store, so you can get what you need. They do front end work, and exhaust work on cars. The previous owners and the owner now, will at times get together to have breakfast.
They would not allow me to photography in the actual shop do to insurance reasons
