This is taken looking across Snow Hill from the oddly named Gothic arcade. In the background is the fine cast ironwork and glass of the old Snow Hill station. As can be seen a number of shops were let into the sub-rail section of the building and Reid Watt Ltd were one of these, a neat little Ford van is outside. In the days when car engines wore out quickly a rebore would be done and larger pistons were needed, Hepolite being one of the top names for new pistons and Reid & Watt a Birmingham supplier. Parked in Gothic Arcade is an early Vespa scooter, its little 2 stroke engine must have been stretched with the large top box and boat sail sized windscreen.
One wonders why Peter was in Gothic Arcade, perhaps he too that large upright vacuum cleaner in to be repaired? We will never know.
Today the side of what passes for Snow Hill station is a green wall and the space between it and the new Snow Hill buildings is occupied by the West Midlands Metro, you won't get you vacuum cleaner repaired here now.

yospyn.com/ - The setup here is a 1600 strobe at camera left and 800 ringflash on camera. The strobe was set at twice the power of the ringflash. Mainly what I use the strobe for is to remove the halo created by the ringflash (although that didn't entirely work here).
After all those works, the space station needs a clean-up. Luckily Mr. Robot has also a maid mode and Benny activates it without a second thought.
The noise of the super vacuum cleaners attracted some Blips that now are playing around happily. But... is it safe?!
The vacuum cleaner was "on" in the next room.

After all of the bad winter weather here in Texas last week, I appreciated getting out in the nice weather last Saturday (February 20, 2021). While I was driving around, I saw this funny sign at a veterinary clinic. Even though Valentine’s Day has passed, I liked this sign. I understand why pets don’t like vacuum cleaners. My Mother told me that I hated the noise of her vacuum cleaner when I was young.

Seriously, if you don’t have one, get one. They don’t complain, procrastinate, or forget (all outcomes which resulted in MY previous attempts to vacuum). The Scooba isn’t bad either.
(“Give it back, give it back!!”, in Blips' language)
One of the blips has been sucked up by Mr. Robot!! And he's going haywire… (look at his eyes!) The other two blimps are desperately trying to rescue their friend, while Benny freaks out and the vacuum cleaner is about to explode!! o_O
I got the idea from the movie “The glass bottom boat” starring Doris Day and Rod Taylor. In a scene of that movie Doris Day finds herself in a sort of space-age kitchen, with, among other gizmos, an automatic vacuum cleaner, that, in an attempt of cleaning the kitchen, tries to suck up one of her thongs.
P.S.: No blip has been harmed during this photo shoot.
Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are getting our vacuum cleaners out and sucking up the filth.

LCA 21.05.2015 - didn't know that there were any "flying vacuumcleaners" registered in Greece. Couldn't find anything about this one in the web - any information welcome. Apparently ex I-PDVO. Registered 5B-JBO in September 2020.
The latter , produced by A. Wells & Co , probably in the early 1960s , was designed to give young girls a grounding in the housework that was to become their destiny . It was " powered " by 2 AA batteries .

In 1995, photographer Peter Menzel and writer Charles Mann published a coffee-table book called Material World. It had a great concept: go to families around the globe and ask them to pose alongside all their material possessions. The contrast between the stack of loot filling the entire driveway of a suburban California family and the few spartan implements owned by a family of herders on the steppes of Mongolia was, of course, striking. That book has always stuck in my mind as a unique look into the differences and similarities between cultures.
When I set up this photo (taken May 26, 2005), I was thinking that it would be fun to try the same thing again, but with the focus on digital possessions. What would you see if you asked a person in San Francisco or Seoul or Madras or Catalonia to gather up and pose with all of their gadgets (for the sake of consistency, let's say everything with a microchip in it)? I'd wager that almost everyone, even the Mongolians, has a few digital gadgets today, if only a radio or a cell phone. And a few people, like me, have a slew of electronic toys.
To explore the idea I decided to set up my own shot, showing all my digital stuff. This is the result.
