Its sort of hard to get people in the shot when the place is shut down and derelict and is mainly rented out for movies and TV shows. I’ll try next time though.
The emptiness- you could never tell it was derelict, but you gotta wonder when the traffic is jammers yet the diner is empty.
The diner seats, the rough seats at the bar, the chrome wheels on that truck versus the incredibly ordinary cars. The garffiti on the bin.
There are a lot of layers and subtle stories.
Composition is great. The diagonals in the diner benches, esp the oof bench bottom right. The inside seamlessly blends into the outside reflection. Seems like a well thought out and considered shot to me.
