[Leica] The Last Big Boy Restaurant in Fort Wayne

[Christopher Crawford]

Color would have been nice. I was shooting film and trying out the Voigtlander 28mm lens I had just bought, so it was B&W. I was going to go back and shoot in color with my digital camera but they took down the Big Boy statue right after I did the B&W version. All Big Boy restaurants have a fiberglass statue of "Big Boy" in front of them!

I still like the B&W version, but it would have been nice to see the bright colors on the statue.
