Nikon F3 & Fomapan 100 (2023)

It's been a while that a building in the city center gets demolished. One or two got stripped and upgraded, but this one is going to disappear completely. it was not a remarkable building, and the disappearance of the temporary shops already signaled that something was about to happen. Still, it surprised me that a big hole had shown up in the row of buildings.

The reason I had a bit of attachment to this building is that a quite large second hand bookshop used to be here. It disappeared in 2014 when the big conglomerate of famous bookstores in the Netherlands went bankrupt. And now the building itself is going away.

honestly i've kind of given up on retail stores, i feel like the material conditions wrt real estate, supply chains etc. have probably made it next to impossible for any cool stores to exist for any real stretch of time
