What caught my eye here was the line of people at the door. Something about the way they were dressed felt timeless, like the photo could have been made at any point in the last 50 or 60 years.
I'm not a street photographer, but this scene seemed worth a try. Fortunately, everything moved slowly enough to allow me time to set up my clunky tripod and gear.
This photo is another example of having the wrong camera/lens for the job being inferior to having the right ones, but infinitely better than having no camera at all.

@mattblaze I really like it, one of my favorites that you've posted.

@mattblaze that's a banger. I would Photoshop the left side, removing the streetlight and some border weirdness by the woman with the purse. (I have no ethics on these matters)

@mattblaze This is one of my favorite photos you've taken. It looks absolutely timeless, despite being fairly recent.

There is something about this picture that just clicks. It's quite fascinating...

@mattblaze you might actually like this one, since you're doing the Ansel Adams notes. He once had his assistant remove a boulder from the base of a waterfall, saying, "It wasn't always there".
This was the lesson used by my Photography professor: you can just move things for the picture. We were doing 4x5 view camera work, but he always said "the computers are going to get good enough". Apt.

Captured with a Pentax 645Z (a medium format DSLR) and a 75mm lens. I had no shifting lens for the 645Z, so I shot a bit wide and cropped to maintain the geometry.
The main challenge was the red neon, which was so bright it washed out the red channel and would have required overly darkening the interior in order to expose properly. This was a rare case where contrast filtration couldn't be done in post. So I used a blue optical filter to darken the red, allowing reasonable exposure and tone.
@mattblaze this is the first time I've heard of using a blue filter to lower the intensity of neon lights. That's so cool!

@mattblaze thank you for this lovely pic. I made my wife take a ride there with me on a cold January day in the early 1990s to get ice cream 😋

@mattblaze This picture makes the day better every time you post it. You go ahead and keep carrying the wrong camera. It works fine.
