I’m always on the lookout for interesting things to photograph. Shiny things are on the list. I am particularly attracted to fire plugs as sculpture. I have an extensive series of photographs and drawings of fire hydrants and other water distribution systems.

Here are some of my posts featuring fire plugs and standpipes: Fireplugs, the Beginning, What Luck!, Fire Plugs, Standpipe Portrait, Concentration, Crosby Dog Graffiti.

I like the shiny ones, since they also serve as self portraits.
