I have a friend that is a machinist here locally and he has been good enough to let me photograph the shop where he works.  I have been in there once, exploring and shooting, but have only made it through about a third of the place.  This is an old shop, with all sorts of machinery, dusty floors, tools, and debris typical of a machine shop.  Not only that, there is great filtered light, light that seeps through cracks in the ceiling, old, fogged windows and around the edges of big sliding doors.  All in all it is a great place to photograph.  These are just the start and are only a few of what I have done.

 

For those of you that care, I shoot everything with the Nikon D200 and use Lexar digital medium.  These are all natural light with little post production work to convert them to black and white.  Likely less manipulation than what would be done in the darkroom.
