Photo 365 - Day 224 (Film Can)
Day 224 (February 12th, 2011)
Title: Film Can
We have a lot of scrapbooking stuff. Some of the stuff I've never seen before. Such as this nifty little can of film. I was just sitting, browsing through boxes of scrapbooking stuff, while general chatting was going on and lo and behold - A nifty thing! This is a tiny little can of film (ala 8mm movie film) that I am guessing is used for 12x12 layouts or cards, but to me it was a photo just waiting to happen! I tried a few different angles to get a good shot, but I finally settled on this one because it reminds me of an old Hollywood shot of film in a canister. I even added a nice grain effect via post production to make it look even older.
Enjoy!

Photo 365 - Day 152 (Exit Only)
Day 152 (December 2nd, 2010)
Title: Exit Only
We were walking around Berkeley near 4th street, and I saw this old, abandoned building and fencing. I saw this mangled fence "door" with its "Exit Only" sign skewed, and my first thought was: "Dang, they must have wanted to get out of there really badly!" The way that the metal is bent and twisted, it almost looks like it was made from aluminum or other soft material, not steel.
I think this is one of those shots that for some reason, I saw something interesting in it, but when viewed by others they might think I'm just a bit "off". Still, there's always tomorrow!
Enjoy!

Photo 365 - Day 105 (Steel Frog)
Day 105 (October 16th, 2010)
Title: Steel Frog
Score this one as another totally random thing I see that just screamed "take a picture of me!" This is a strange, but darn nifty, old hanging steel "thing". Perhaps it was a planter or wind chime at some point. But now, its just thing old frog-looking thing hanging on a spring. It makes little 'jumps' when the wind hits it and it seems like many generations of spiders have called it home (the cobwebs have cobwebs!). It has these old glass marbles for eyes and the green paint is chipping and faded. Even with all of those "character elements", it still called out to be photographed. And who am I to say no to a steel frog.
Enjoy

Photo 365 - Day 32 (Valve 21)
Day 32 (August 4th, 2010)
Title: Valve 21
Today was one of those days I just couldn't think of anything to photograph, so I just grabbed my camera and went looking for "nothing". I found this old valve and I thought it looked very photogenic. I'm not sure what it was for, but I hope nothing critical, because its not moving without a whole lot of help!
