A commentary on gender issues, the Box Project is meant to reflect a woman's feelings of insecurity regarding her body under the scrutiny of a sexually-charged world. The world I live in, the world of twenty-somethings and college parties, has caused me to want to hide my body at times, a body that I am normally very comfortable in and proud of. The models portrayed are passive, so as to let the box speak for itself, and are placed in both public and private places, a nod to the idea that we should feel safe and at home in our bodies no matter where we are.
This is a "pill box" on Aberdeen beach, left behind from the Second World War. Soldiers would keep a watch out for the invaders. Over the years the boxes have moved... further along the beach, some are still in the dunes, on the grass. Most are at funny angles. This is the fourth or fifth one to the North from the River Don. At low-tide, more are visible, as well as concrete blocks to hinder any landing tanks.
This photo has been converted to b/w, the contrast and brightness increased significantly and then coloured adding a bit of red, half the amount of green and subtracting the green amount from the blue to give an extreme sepia look.
Many of these electricity boxes have been painted, they add some colours to the otherwise grey streets of the city.
While COVID-19 makes it hazardous to approach strangers; I have decided to start on this new project of photographing electricity boxes in Helsinki.
I keep finding new ones as I stroll alone with my camera along the streets.
The box on the bottom is the one it arrived in. The blue box is the one it was wrapped in, and the bit on top is the actual gift. It's a way cool cutting board from Anna and family for Christmas. But did it have to come in a box 20 sizes too big? :-p
Just in case demand exceeds my briefcase at the ABA meeting, a box full of pamphlets will be stowed in the trunk of the car, can be retrieved if necessary. Like Amazon glacial storage. Not convenient, but workable.
Brigham City is a city in Box Elder County, Utah, United States. The population was 17,899 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Box Elder County. It lies on the western slope of the Wellsville Mountains, a branch of the Wasatch Range at the western terminus of Box Elder Canyon. Brigham City saw most of its growth during the 1950s and 1960s, but has seen a struggling economy and stagnating growth since then. It is near the headquarters of ATK Thiokol, the company that created the solid rocket boosters for the Space Shuttle.
Brigham City is known for its peaches and holds an annual celebration called Peach Days on the weekend after Labor Day. Much of Main Street is closed off to cars, and the festival is celebrated by a parade, a car show, a carnival, and other activities. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) dedicated its fourteenth temple in Utah in Brigham City on 23 September 2012.
The city is the headquarters of the Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation, a federally recognized tribe of Shoshone people.
Mormon pioneer William Davis first explored the Brigham City area in 1850. He returned with his family and others a year later to create permanent homes. Brigham Young directed Lorenzo Snow to create a self-sufficient city at the site in 1853. Snow directed both religious and political affairs in the settlement, eventually naming it Box Elder in 1855. Brigham Young gave his last public sermon there in 1877 shortly before his death, and the name of the town was changed to Brigham City after the church president. In 1864, the cooperative movement began in earnest with the creation of a mercantile co-op store and was an important element of the United Order of Enoch. Other industries were added, and the Brigham City Co-op is widely recognized as the most successful of the Mormon Co-op ventures. Economic hardships brought an end to the Co-op in 1895, though the Co-op had first started selling businesses off in 1876.
Despite layoffs over the past decade, much of Brigham City's economy relies on Thiokol, the creator of many missiles, as well as the solid rocket booster for the Space Shuttle. Additionally, the local Autoliv (formerly a part of Thiokol) airbag plants also net Brigham City many jobs. The addition of a Walmart distribution center in nearby Corinne has also brought new jobs.

I guess this box once had some architectural merit, now it is no doubt larger and more comfortable for the incumbent but it does look a pigs ear devoid of any real character.
Indeed the photos contained on this thread show the box did at one time have a more pleasing appearance.

The height of the British summer,18th July 2012, saw me and my eldest set off from Nottingham for an Everton pre-season friendly at Dundee. What could go wrong ? Bhy the time we got to Edinburgh at lunch time the evening fixture had already been called off due to a waterlogged pitch !
I had arranged to visit my ex signal school colleague at Tay Bridge South where he was working the afternoon turn so I carried on regardless and pulled in two other boxes on the way.
These are the very grey images from that afternoon.

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.

Wall-e, like the kittens, have a thing for boxes. He also loved the new song The Pumpkins released today.
I had a bunch of old Silicon Chip magazines sitting in a cardboard box and since I'm on a quest to rid my house of cardboard boxes (evil, horrible things) I decided I needed a magazine storage solution.
Sure, I could drive down to Officeworks (A megastore of stationary here in Australia) and simply pick one up off the shelf for a few dollars (Well, $15 for one this size). It would have been a no-brainer. But that just didn't seem sporting!
So last night I sat down in front of my computer and fired up CorelDRAW and designed this and today, armed with a sheet of 6mm MDF, I set my laser cutter to work. It's got enough room to fit a bunch of magazines and should I need more I can just cut them out! I figure it cost me about $6 for the MDF - less than half the cost of buying one :)

I painted, crackled and aged a small wooden box and added a collaged fairy inside with some grass, along with a "Found Object" tag, key and piece of old wooden yard stick on the box.
I am trying to make a habit of creating boxes at the beginning of a project to hold all the many items which would otherwise go walk about.
My recent work with a group of local poets has resulted in some experiments involving interactive books.
This box holds samples of graphic and colourful pull tabs, flaps and tags.
My new die cutting machine is working overtime!

The Ultra Large Containervessel (ULCV) "CMA CGM Alexander von Humboldt" (16.022 TEU) is arriving at Port 2000 in Le Havre, France. Behind us the Hamburg Süd "San Clemente". It was following us down the river Elbe from Hamburg to the North Sea and now we met again.
Our ship is turning round in the special radius of turn because it is nearly 400m long. Very nice the "Greetings from the fireman" while starting the main engine.
Das Grosscontainerschiff "CMA CGM Alexander von Humboldt" (16.022 TEU Standardcontainer) erreicht den Hafen Port 2000 in Le Havre, Normandie, Frankreich.
Mit uns kam auch die "San Clemente" von Hamburg Süd in den Hafen, welche uns bei der Revierfahrt von Hamburg in die Nordsee bereits folgte. So trifft man sich wieder.
Anschliessend wurde unser Schiff im speziellen Drehkreis gedreht. Wir haben immerhin knapp 400m Länge. Schön zu sehen der Heizergruss beim Starten und Stoppen der Maschine.

I'm a sucker for dent-box sales ^^; I decided a while ago I wanted a Supergirl pullip and Melissa is basically perfect for her right out of the box so I bought a second Melissa.
These boxes store our collection. They are lignin-free, acid-free, and buffered with 3% calcium carbonate. Every shelf is numbered, as are the boxes, so by checking our collections data base, we know exactly where everything is. This is what's in the "Repository" field that you can see when you search the collection. Now that we've moved things, every item in the boxes will need to be updated.
I got my Box Turtle. In 1990I purchased one of these. The edition soldout. My mother liked Turtles so I gave it to her as a gift. In the late 1990's my mother went blind from diabetes and someone took the one I got her off the wall and took off with it. My father never noticed. I have searched for it for it or a replacement for 11 years. I have had it on a watch list at the Art Gallery I got the original one at, just incase one came in for sale. Last week Melanie from Seaside Art Gallery called me and said the Artist, David Hunter, offered up the first print (#1 of 100) from his collection. So I gladly purchased it and got it in the mail today.
It is not a valuable piece, but it has value to me.
I mostly enjoy the wonderful boxes the moon cake gifts are packaged in. This is a box I saved from Mid-Autum festival 2 years ago. This moon cake series is best seen from inside its set because I uploaded them in a confusing order.
Walking around Hampstead i noticed this old wall post box there are still a few left in London that are still being used in this age of high technology. This one is probably from the Victiorian era so they are still in competition with the internet email I wonder when their day is up I can't see this model on the following link so I only guess it is Victorian. www.norvic-philatelics.co.uk/2009/images/090818_postbox_s...
I have since come back to this description and I have now noticed that at the top of this post box there is a V space R that must stand for victoria regina.
