Artist's Comments

My workbench, at which I engage in arcane studies of Electricity, Magnetism, Mechanics, and other subjects. The objects (listed left to right) are:
RSU 20W de-soldering iron;
Sencore TC109 MightyMite vacuum tube tester (built circa 1960);
Third hand holding a 40 micro-farad condenser assembly;
Craftsman digital VOM multimeter;
Zenith model 9E21 chassis, removed from a model 9H988R triple-band (AM, FM, shortwave) console-style radio and phonograph player (built July 1947);
Two-speed "eggbeater" type drill.
In the poster frame behind the desk is the full schematic for the Zenith 9E21 chassis
Camera: Canon AE-1 (35mm SLR)
Lens: Canon type FD (fixed 50mm)
Film: Ilford XP-2 monochrome (ASA 400)
Exposure: f16@2 seconds
Negative #BPDG-10
Enlarged, cropped, spotted, and contrast-adjusted using Adobe PhotoShop.

I love this because of what it captures about you. I love this because it reflects a time that seems to be long lost - where people explored and learned the nature of things with their hands. I love this because it almost looks like it could be an old photo and because of the pretty flower wallpaper.

Thank you kindly. Just as the surgeon with his cadavers, I dissect the subjects of my study to learn how they work. As for the wallpaper, I recently switched rooms with my younger sister. I don't know; I might keep the wallpaper.
