Today’s post is about an iconic photograph by George A. Tice: Petit's Mobil Station and Watertower, Cherry Hill, New Jersey, 1974. Tice was one of the most celebrated American photographers of his time, known for capturing the quiet beauty of everyday America, places we often overlook.
If you’ve ever admired photos of old diners, gas stations, or fast-food joints with that nostalgic, worn-in feel, chances are those photographers were influenced by Tice. His work set the standard for documenting these fading pieces of American life.

George Andrew Tice passed away on January 16, 2025, at the age of 85. His images will continue to inspire photographers for generations to come.
