Normandy Bakery Coffee Corner

Normandy Bakery, an artisan bake shop and coffeehouse in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. The coffeehouse portion is mostly take-out, but there is this corner table in the front window. This image was included on a poster promoting my 2002 photo-illustrated book on the coffeehouses of downtown Charleston. Canon T-70 (actual film!), available afternoon daylight from the two large windows you can see in the picture. I’ve applied a Tone Mapping filter to the image to even out shadow and highlight brightnesses. This is a scan from a print. It was reproduced in black and white inside the book.

Normandy Bakery Coffee Corner belongs to the following groups:

All things Coffee, Beautiful South Carolina, Occupied Interiors, Southern-Style: A Downhome Perspective , TABLES AND CHAIRS and Take Me Higher (Dynamic Range) Available for sale as

    I like the feel to this one. Nice shot!

    Thank you! The placement of the two huge windows creates a “milky” quality to the light, though it was a normal sunlit afternoon. -J:
