Firego, Route 17

Firego Gas, Route 17

A few years ago I was on a road trip to Florida on Route 17 to photograph in the Everglades with Clyde Butcher. I chose Route 17 and was expecting to, and found,  many old business locations that were long closed down and deteriorating - a subject I enjoy. This image, the Firego Gas Station was one of the first images made on that trip. Personally I have never heard of this brand of gasoline so not really sure what time period it might be from...

I will be making a presentation at the Photography Club of Lower Fairfield County in  Stamford, Connecticut  on Wednesday night, January 18   Click here for information. Hope to see you there...
