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.

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 years.

I'm not normally 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.

Every time I've gone, I've always been amused by how the photos they have hanging inside match the present situation outside, despite the fact that some of the photos are 40+ years old (The Beatles!).
