Display in front of a Vacuum Cleaner shop in downtown Bothell, WA. I think this is the Roomba's grandfather. The barber shop is next door, both are closed due to COVID-19.
This was shot with a Kodak Vest Pocket Autographic camera with a Rapid Rectilinear lens. I built new bellows for the camera, this was my first test roll through it. The film is Ilford HP5+ from a bulk roll of 46mm (127 film) I bought during their ULF sale. I developed it in Beerenol (Rainier Beer).
Had this idea from my previous photo's description, funny where ideas come from. Had cleaned my studio so why not do a photo of me cleaning, somewhat inspired by adverts you saw in old newspapers and magazines of cleaning products being used by housewives ... with the exception that they were always smiling ...

It must be strange being this tiny - the whole world would look completely different, and even a couple of rubber boots could be used as a playground. Not to mention that it could be quite dangerous when the vacuum cleaner comes along...!

I finally got the Speed Graphic up and running!
This is my grandparents' dining room. I destroyed two precious sheets of film before I got this shot (some problem with the way I loaded the film holders, such that when I put the dark slide back in, they buckled). And you'll see around the edges that the film was slightly askew -- I'm not sure whether the film holder wasn't quite right in the back, or whether I mis-loaded the film holder in the first place.
I guess this could have been a Freedom/Failure Friday entry, but as this is only my second ever large format effort, I'm pretty proud of it. I could have tried to fix the horizontal lines, but I almost wear the full frame, including the skewed exposure, as a badge of pride.
To say nothing of the transcendent exhilaration I feel when I look at the 4x5 chrome in person... So, until you get a chance to come by and check out the real deal, why not view this large?
A sign behind Miele appliance store in Lynnwood; our vacuum cleaner died after 17 years and had to buy a new one.
The new one is $1,450!!! It’s being delivered tomorrow, because they were sold out in the store of all HEPA filter models. Apparently, people have been buying vacuum cleaners like toilet paper since the Coronavirus outbreak.

I am perplexed...:-), first to see such a diverse array of facilities in one establishment, and second, which service would actually bring you here. Oh, and if this were one of those little IQ tests "one door doesn't belong"
Taken in Grand Forks ND,... ok my American friends explain away....:-)))

recently i got me a new Vacuum Cleaner..
i went on facebook to ask friends and Peers their opinions of what is the best consumer level vacuum cleaner and it was an emphatic winner by popular vote.
www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=101501039257133...
everybody stated get a Dyson..
i got one and used it for the first time and was super impressed by this unit..
we used it last night and i couldn't believe what it picked up in the first room... we don't have children nor pets, but it seemed to pick up debris, dirt and lint like we had 5 kids and 2 dogs in our house.. OMG it made Cara freak out when we dumped the canister.. lol..
i can now understand why everybody loves their dyson, (performance, design, and visual proof that it cleans)
the power of the unit is incredible so i wanted to do a fun shot..
lighting was 4 speed lights all triggered by cactus V5 system..
1 speedlight camera Left with Red Gel @ 1/2 power
1 speedlight behind couch with red gel @ 1/4 power
1 speedlight behind plant @ 1/8 power
1 speedlight as key lighting @ 1/2 with shoot thru umbrella
all triggered by lso the New Cactus V5's
The "Help Yourself!" annual was publsihed as 'the official organ of the "Help Yopurself" Society', that had been formed in 1927 by the Stock Exchange Dramatic & Operatic Society to raise funds for theor charitable donation of funds to recognised hospitals and charity organisations. The annual, quite a lavish affair, was contains articles, cartoons and stories that were, I suspect, donated by the various authors and illustrators, as well as containing adverts for various concerns who again seem to have been assisting int he publication. There's also a very long list of companies and individuals who donated gifts to the Society and that were seemingly raffled or donated to the various hospitals noted for fund raising. The list in interesting - not just because of the gifts such as a hamper of kippers and smoked fish - but because of the descriptions of the companies that is itself quite illuminating.
This advert is for Vactric Ltd, a company formed in around 1923 to start to profit on the growing market for domestic electrical appliances as the demand grew in post-WW1 years. By the 1930s they were based in the growing suburbs of Middlesex at Honeypot Lane in Stanmore - surrounded by the very sort of new suburban dwellings whose owners would have relied on such 'modern' electrical technology to 'lighten the load and lengthen leisure' as seen here. You often see the Vactric vac advertised, less often the other "Apex-Vactric" goods. Oddly I have read that they'd discontinued fridges in 1934 but here they still are.
In post-WW2 years the company did a flit in 1946 to Newhouse in Scotland but the domestic appliances business did not fare well - a move into control systems and similar technologies kept them afloat for a while. I suspect that by the 1950s with the big electrical manufacturers such as Hoover, GEC, English Electric etc smaller concerns could no longer compete - by 1961 the rump of Vactric had been acquired by other concerns.
Apparently, Yuba has subdued the vacuum cleaner to his will and is guarding it to make sure it doesn't sneak away.
I was surprised that Yuba was resting next to the vacuum cleaner - he clearly reasoned that if it wasn't making a noise and wasn't moving around, he was safe...

The living room is almost clean for Easter. The last dirt and dust is about to be 'eaten' by our robot cleaner.
Happy Easter!

I thought he would topple over after the first impact, though he's a better rider than I could possibly have imagined.
Today the Hereios of the We’re Here! Group are shooting Vacuum Riding.
Mother Earth needs a clean up.. How about you? Would you care?
