Ben Schumin is a professional photographer who captures the intricacies of daily life.

Sign for Smiling Rivers Laundromat, a laundry facility in North Charleston, South Carolina. The sign reuses a frame intended for a Shoney's restaurant. The Shoney's building, meanwhile, had been demolished at some point and replaced by the current laundromat building.
