Is anybody out there?! I hope so… the villagers might have revolted yesterday… so, today I have a calm, lightly toned, black and white image to share. Although the random craziness of this blog is what makes it fun-ish (I think). It’s like Forrest Gump. Or his proverbial box of chocolates, anyway.
I’m not sure what to title this photo… I keep going back and forth. It was called ‘port’ for a while. Then ‘cantilever’. Then ‘cantilevered’. Not sure I’m cool with those, though. Any suggestions? Besides “STOP FORREST, STOP”, that is?!

I vote “Port”
This might have something to do w/ living in Portland. But then again, it might not.
I will leave you to decide.
Thank you.
😉
I’ve never been to Portland, but I hear it’s a beautiful city.
*drum-roll, symbol crash*
Your vote has officially been entered into the Fridge, Dishy… please pardon the smoke… technology is a little lacking around here.

Uni-Lever
Ha! Uni-Awesome idea, Bearman! 🙂
I like ‘Port’. Or maybe ‘Metal Thingies With Other Metal Thingies’… that’s sort of poetic don’t you think? 😛 In any case the photo is super neato.
Funny you should say that, Annabelle – I was also considering ‘Neat-o Metal Burrito’…
🙂
What about “Hanging”? I swear this looks like it was taken in the 1800’s or something. Amazing!
At one point I considered ‘suspended’…
I like ‘hanging’ better, though, J.G.
There was some contemporary ‘stuff’ in this shot (sodium light, plastic cones) so I gave them the ‘ol Photoshop airbrush / chop-n-crop… (it seemed like the motors were plausibly 50’s era models)
Thanks, J.G.! 🙂
Trebuchet. 😉
Sounds hard rocking…
or high flying, I guess. 🙂
“Port”abella or “Shiit”ake have a nice ring to it.
Geez, you’re going to think I don’t like your photos. I love them, I swear!! 😀
Hahaha…
Well, I love your titles.
Not to worry, Mel… I don’t take myself too seriously. Honest…
🙂
I guess I’m the only one who likes “Cantilevered”. It does have a 40-50ish feel to it.
I honestly can’t decide, Binky (I’d be ripping my hair out if I believed it might grow back).
🙂
“Thought I’d Drop In” or ” You Keep Me Hanging On”
Psst That looks like an awfully big dressing table.
Sounds ‘SUPREME’, F.L.
Ha! Yeah… I’d hate to get a whiff of the jumbo diapers that thing could support…
🙂
Port Cantilever? Cantilever Port? Cantiportilever?
Nevermind.
Cantimaginewhynot!
🙂
I like cantilevered a lot as a title
A few people seemed to…
did I mention I’m not good with ‘the words’?! 🙂
I prefer ‘cantilever’. Rolls off the tongue more elegantly than ‘cantilevered’.
I have a difficult time saying anything elegantly, S.E.,
it gets embarrassing at times.
🙂
I really like these old style industrial style photos. Good work on this one
Thank you very much, Tony –
I was fairly happy with this one…
🙂
I’ll go with trebuchet as well!
Hahaha – that is pretty clever, isn’t it?! 🙂
