A Study of Vintage Proportions

May 7th, 2009 · 9 Comments

While I am gathering supplies for my next repurposing project and scoping out photo shoot locations (does anyone know of a retro coin-laundry place around Detroit?), I have a mini-photo series to share with you, not so aptly entitled “a study of vintage proportions.”

What a difference a bulb makes!

Now I only have to figure out how to electrify the enormous vintage lightbulb.

    my thought exactly! (is that bulb for real)?

    as for those little task lights, I just love them. I became more aware of them about 6 months ago and now seek them out. they all have their own little personalities. much has to do with proportion; base height, shade shape, profile & color differences…

    Even though that is a huge lightbulb I was distracted by the wooden type case it is resting on.
    Love those.
