(Main) contests->b/w challenge
My neighbor is the owner of the local Funeral Home. This shot of a 1939 Chevy Coupe belongs to him. As I said he is my neighbor and his funeral home is right next door to my house. He is also the County Coroner and he prefers to be called Funeral Director but I prefer Undertaker. He makes me nervous because he seems to be sizing me up every time I see him. Actually he is a very nice guy and he has a very dry sense of humor, so we get along great. He is always asking me over to visit, but I tell him I don't like his type of visitations and he will just have to wait. The Methodist Church is just across the street from me so you might say they have me covered both coming and going. Nothing like a small town to keep things in perspective. I thought this might be something different for the B/W Challenge.

“Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won’t expect it back.”
Great narrative OFT (Owd Fella Tick). The by you used words are very well chosen. I can say this because I remember very well that you've posted a couple of years ago an image of your house and the street where you live. So reading your narrative was a feast of recognition to me. Perfectly done, Ron.
But don't let me forget to qualify the image, whether it's your or the one of the undertaker, a good B&W one and very appropiate for the B&W challenge contest.
Regards, Cornelius.

You have stepped up the game with this very cool presentation Mr. Ron, very good, and perfect for the challenge. I always enjoy your witty narratives too. Tigz♥ =^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
With the church and the funeral home so close to you I can only assume that spirits are all around you. Maybe that is why you take such great pictures. You have help from the "the fifth dimension."
I also see that this coupe is attempting a coup in the black and white contest. I wish you all the best. You have a great entry.
Tick, I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year! ~~ John

I like what you've done here Tick. To start the original image was excellent and then your post-editing has made a good image original.

"Horse sense is the thing a horse has which keeps it from betting on people." W.C. Fields. So I bet you'll go over to see My Gallery.
You have a real good sense of humour Tick and can spin a good yarn. An undertaker-neighbour would make me nervous too. But they are usually dressed in black and all hush hush but a sneaky look at the neighbour to assess age and size can be can be called quite normal. Nice B/W image. Good one for the challenge.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Great story (true as it is) and wonderful post work on the classic car/hearse. Bravo. Amen.

With all my love and respect, Marzena
Business can't be good if he's still driving around in a '39 Chev. A good narrative and interesting presentation Tick.

Sometimes the appropriate response to reality is to go insane. -- Philip K. Dick, Valis
Quite an undertaking with this creative presentation...a striking b/w and entertaining narrative...great old car but feeling a bit divided considering its' driver and purpose.

Dear Customer Service: First of all, you should know I am typing this with my middle finger...
Maybe doing it this way...you won't be able to 'fit into it' every time he 'sizes' you up eh!
