Photographs of Words
[Well, I was going to leave it there as a nice, pithy intro. But the Squidoo system has recently taken to demanding more content in this section. So, to stop this highly ranked lens going offline, I'm padding. This is particularly difficult for me, as I'm a copywriter. But there you have it. Hopefully I now have enough words to satisfy the ROBOT. Let's see ... ]
Push
Great advice for life!
I took a dozen shots trying to capture this word. But with the harsh inside/outside light contrast, moving background and reflective, multilayered surfaces, it was very tricky. I chose this shot over ones featuring young girls on High Street shopping sprees as it adds another dimension of meaning. Also, this bloke wasn't moving so fast! :)
Lubricant
I think we've finally run out ...
There are some wild blocks in my inner urban suburb. Millions of dollars of real estate playing host to all manner of detritus. This can looks like it has been here for a long, long time. I'm assuming it's an oil-based lubricant, which makes the corrosion something of a miracle. How patient rust is!
All photos were taken on THIS camera!
It's also called the TZ-10. Make it YOURS!

- Thank you! It was an odd word to see on the side of an old building. It took many attempts to frame correctly. I'm so pleased you like it. :)

- Cool stuff. Made me think of Ed Ruscha to start, but you did your own thing here. Nice, artsy take on it. I've lensrolled to three of my own art-oriented lenses. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

- Thanks very much, Dave, for your response. I'd not heard of Ed Ruscha, but I just looked him up and his work seems fascinating. Thanks for the heads up (and your kind lensrolling). Best regards, P. :)

- I find I'm compelled to comment on individual photos- maybe some more guestbooks? I love the way you see the essence of things and it would be cool to ask questions about each photo. -:)

- Special indeed! Great pic. Didn't our dear friend Jason have a car like that once? Those were the days. Of course, the people in those days were always saying of other days that THOSE were the days. So it's hard to be sure. To be sure. Carry on.
