laundrette: fifteen minutes-sixteen shots

what do you do when you have to go your local laundrette and hang around for at least fifteen minutes on a sunday afternoon? well, i love the colours, vintage machines and found typo in mine, so it was a fun exercise to document it :)

Tiny Red, you have such a brilliant eye for these ordinary details of life and a talent to always make something interesting out of it!

These photos are so cool! Very 1950's... Do you really go to a place like this for your laundry?

Hi Tiny Red...

I love the retro washed out pastels, you've got some lovely work there... Was thinking to enquire bout having an exhibition there...can you tell us where this little gem is located? That'd be more than appreciated...
Cheers Petradublin :)
