Lathe

I’ve always been fascinated with steel and iron. Worn smooth by years of use or rusted because of neglect, iron has a patina that can’t be matched. When iron becomes machine, with all of the gears, handles, levers, and slides, its appeal grows exponentially . Light loves machinery. My friend Don (Some of his work here: http://reesephoto.me/2012/02/11/the-daily-grind/) found this wonderful machine shop and the owner was gracious enough to allow us to do some shooting. My schedule only allowed for a few hours during the day, so I was limited to using flash, but hopefully we can go back at night and I’ll use the flashlight.
