So here’s a photograph of a hammer. Yup. I’m not proud of how rusty I let it get (although it made for some interesting textures). Remember, please don’t try this at h0me – be kind to your tools, people.
The Dude: “1972 Pontiac LeBaron.”
Younger Cop: “Color?”
The Dude: “Green. Some brown, or, uh, rust, coloration.”

Delicious colours and textures, SIG.
Many thanks, S.E.! 🙂
Now I will NEVER get that Tom Waits song out of my head.
She got me coming through the dog door.. got me coming through the dog door..
Pitchfork (pitchfork)
Crowbar (crowbar)
Clawhammer (clawhammer)
Hot tar (hot tar)
Granted, I LOVE that song. but still!
You know, I don’t know if I’ve ever heard that song before, Dishy!
I feel kinda’ embarrassed about that… it seems like some research is in order! 🙂
Way better than the song I have in my head “If I had a hammer, I’d hammer in the morning ….
Peter Gabriel’s Sledgehammer has been stuck in mine…
🙂
My garden tools typically end up looking this way. I have to buy new ones each spring. I look at it as a used-looking tool is a USED tool. No shame in that! 🙂 Nice texture here. Will you do a rusty-tool series? Looks like the kind of artwork Restoration Hardware would gobble right up!
It was in my toolbox, which somehow managed to get some water in it (so at least it’s not like I left it laying out in the lawn, I guess).
I’ve done a few tool images… I plan on posting more from time to time…
🙂
Very cool! Nice textures and I think the white border really makes it pop!
P.S. You get 500 bonus points for the Lebowski quote. 😛
Whose got 500 bonus points in the trunk of their car?

“Any leads?”
“I’ll just check with the boys in the crime lab, you know, they got us working in shifts.”
Nice shot btw.
“Well, they finally did it. They killed my ******* car.”
Thank you, sir! 🙂
Annabelle if I were you I would check that hammer closer for any blood stains.
Actually, there might be some blood from my thumb on there. Who knew nails were so hard to hit with any sort of consistency?
🙂
LOL.. Are you SURE you’re not doing a series on horror movie cinematic posters… Mefinks you’ve certainly got a knack for it… Really do like this shot..
Hahaha… to be honest with you… I never really know what’s going on. Whatever is happening, though, I really do appreciate the kind comments, sir! 🙂
” I would like to present the court with exhibit 1″
HA!
Objection! Objection!
Uh… if it pleases the court… let’s not get hung up on all this ‘evidence’ stuff…
🙂
Pontiac Lebaron??!! The Lebaron was a Chrysler, and late 70’s, not early. I think you mean Lemans.
That hammer looks more bloody than rusty. I certainly hope it’s not!
Hahaha… wow, good eye, Binky!
This was a copy/paste from a script I found online (I had actually heard a few people commenting that there was something wrong with the make/model of the car, but I didn’t know enough about it to notice).
🙂
Ha ha ha! This is the nicest hammer portrait I had seen because you are showing it with all it rust and blemishes. Gives it great character!
Thank you very much, sir…
I thought it seemed a bit more interesting this way (and I liked the relationship it created with the background, too)! 🙂
I glad to see the hammer did not rust in vain.
Hahaha… you said it, sir!
Poor rusty dude! 🙂
Yeah…I was singing…”if I had a hammer!” I like rusty grungy photos 😀
It’s hammer time (so to speak)!
Thank you very much, Mary – you’ve probably guessed that I’m a fan of grungy photos, too! 🙂
Looking at your pictures is like reading poetry. I know I like them but I don’t always know how to explain it.
All I can say is that I have never seen such a cool hammer. 🙂
Dang, Mel – I really appreciate that!
Thank you very much for the kind words, sir! 🙂
