Signaller John Zyla at work in the small signal box at Wingello, New South Wales on 11 May 2005. Located on the Main South double track mainline linking Sydney and Melbourne, the box was made redundant about two years later.

I found the wooden boxes on the street in Finsbury Park a few years ago. I've had the spice bottles for years, and refill from loose or cello packs. I am slowly replacing the clear glass bottles with Taylors Mustard bottles (top shelf with the yellow lids), as and when I finish eating the mustard. (Big bottle with yellow lid is a Marmite jar.)
I buy Taylors mustard because I like the taste, but equally importantly, because it is a small company who manufacture in Cheshire. The bottles are brown (so good for spice storage) and the label comes right off with a bit of water. (So none of those industrial glues many big companies use on their products.)
Everything else is either upcycled from food purchses (such as the Lavazza coffee tin and the two green/yellow boxes which housed Japanese tofu) or purchased at second hand shops (the 60s ceramic container and 70s orange tureen which holds onions and garlic).
My soy milk maker is at the left. Fifty quid on eBay and it's saved that much already. Plus no more tetra paks which aren't recyclable. And the family who own tetra pak include the dissolute Mayfair heir who's a heroin addict and his wife who was arrested in 2008 for trying to smuggle crack into the American Embassy in London. I have NO interest in supporting rich crack heads and neither should you. Avoid tetra paks where possible. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-558569/Drugs-billionaire...

Hollow copper box with lift-off lid, oxidized 24" sterling silver chain, approximately 26" total length.
These pieces HAVE to be shipped in a box, there really is no other way! These are wedding favour boxes and shallow so the lid is kind of balanced on the ring edge when it's closed - the answer? Tie it up with ribbon etc, gives and excuse to froo froo it up with a label and a button!

The "box of chocolates" cookies are totally stolen from Cookie Genius Maryann (Cookieartisan)....with permission, of course! It was such a brilliant idea that I sooo badly wanted to try it out for the bakery. I added some of our very popular cake truffles to the box too. We'll put these out as samples...hopefully people may order a little earlier!

Each year, Gallery Route One in Point Reyes invites over a hundred artists to create unique works of art using a wooden box.
Here are the inspiring artworks they created this year: they range in style from whimsical to poignant and thought-provoking. These photos were taken on closing day, when the gallery organized a live auction for each of this year’s 150 boxes. The proceeds support the gallery’s exhibits and community programs.
Two of the boxes were created by members of our art community: Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) contributed an illuminated box called ‘Magical’, while Geo Monley and Meryl Rubenstein made ‘Les Puzzles.’
Members of ‘Pataphysical Studios came to cheer for their peers -- Dr. Really was the highest bidder for Dr. Rindbrain’s piece, which was thus kept in the family. After the show, we all went to Stellina to celebrate over a nice dinner.

The box is more of a point of sale piece but part of the crisis direct mail.
The statement has power and gets straight to the point which was intended for the target audience.
Food, A bed and shelter are all human necessities so the idea is to us peoples emotions to help them to reflect on there lives.
Shelter for you and me is a house but if you ar e homeless then all you have for shelter is a box.
The Box is intended to bee left in places where people could walk past and tear away one of the contact strips on the box.

A beautiful thick paper hopefully makes a nice box. Tip of the lid was hard to fold due to thickness.
The paper holds creases really well, which makes the folding a pleasure.
Built by Gerstner, this Model 212 fell into my hands battered and splashed with the obligatory white latex paint. (I still don't understand why virtually every old tool box I run into has white paint stains. Has no one heard of drop cloths?)
General freight box car built in 2008. It was rebuilt in 7-studs-wide convention and exists together with brown and sand-green variations of this one :)
The old phone box in Crudwell lights up at dusk. As does the Best Western Mayfield Hotel across The Street.
The Story
In the summer I was lucky enough to spend 3 weeks on a Route 69 Road Trip in the USA. Part of the trip took us to The Joshua Tree National Park on the edge of which this shot was taken. In the UK we dont hve mail boxes so this was a real novelty to me and my kiddies
The Shot
3 exposure shot (-1,0,+1) from using my D200 and a Nikon 12-24mm lens handheld
Opened in Photomatix with detail enhancer set to default.
Then modified using Topaz Adjust , to increase colour and sharpness.
Saturation then boosted and areas of noise reduced.
The noise reduced with Noiseware .
Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and frame added.

This is the interior of a power signal box taken between the 13th and 27th of July 1987. Don't know where for definite but the layout reminds me of York.
