Ben Schumin Photography Portfolio

A former residential toilet, now in use as an ashtray, outside of Texas Inn, a restaurant in Lynchburg, Virginia. The sign, reading, "Put yer BUTTS here," has a level of double entendre to it, referring to placing cigarette butts in the tray, but also alluding to its intended usage as a toilet, where users would place their backsides in the normal course of going to the bathroom.
