Behind these doors is the workshop of Agnew Myers, a stained glass artisan and restoration expert.
Inside a bank vaught where I work....this is a masterlock for escaping if you ever get locked in. Needless to say, I shot this when the door was wide open.

The door handle of an art car parked in Berkeley. I liked that there were old keys used as part of the car's decoration.
Masterlock earned its reputation for quality locks from the inventions of Harry Soref, a Milwaukee-area locksmith. As a security consultant for the military during World War I, Soref invented a special padlock used to protect military equipment. After the war, in 1919, he designed a padlock with laminated layers of steel like those used in the production of bank vault doors and battleships. Soref anticipated that such a heavy-duty lock would outclass the durability of the hollow padlocks of that time, which were broken easily with a hammer. He hoped to sell the design to a hardware manufacturing company, but the padlock required several parts and production steps, and engineers, manufacturers, and patent attorneys found the product design too cumbersome.
Supported by the financial investment of two friends, P.E. Yolles and Sam Stahl, Soref began his own company, Master Lock Company, in 1921. He patented the first laminated padlock in 1924. Master Lock marketed the padlock using a lion's head logo for name recognition.

A couple HDRs from the recent HDR Mafia photo shoot at Seaholm Power Plant. This door was at the top of a stairwell where I had hoped to gain access to the crane in the main turbine room. The crane door was locked as was this door which would have provided roof access. Fortunately we had access to the roof via other means but we never did get access to the crane.
Both images were tonemapped in photomatix (6-7 exposures…don't remember) then processed mostly via curves in Photoshop. I probably could have used only two exposures and gotten all the image information but I didn't bother playing with that. The black and white version was simply a matter of adding a B+W adjustment layer to the image and tweaking the red and yellow adjustment. The color image used a series of masked curves, some of which were only applied to the red and/or blue channels. The lighting was actually relatively flat in the original exposures and I used curves to bring out the shadows more. The starburst in the keyhole was obtained by using an aperture of f/22.
I'm not sure whether I like the color or B+W version better.

From Wikipedia:
Master Lock is the world's largest importer of padlocks, combination locks and related security products for automotive and outdoor needs including home and yard, contractors, power sports, campus and bike needs. An operating unit of Fortune Brands, Inc., Master Lock Company LLC was formed in 1921 by inventor Harry Soref, and is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In 1973, Master Lock ran a famous Super Bowl ad where one of their locks survived being shot by a sharpshooter, thereby proving its durability, thus the slogan "Tough Under Fire". Master Lock would continue running similar ads during future Super Bowls, spending almost their entire annual marketing budget on the single commercial. [1] Later, Master would incorporate the image into one of the first real-life examples of a blipvert in 1998 - though no harmful physiological effects were reported in viewers.
Took time tonight to study for upcoming inservice board exam. The lockers behind me filled with stuff left behind by those who forgot their lock combination. Hopefully my brain, like these lockers, won't be filled with unretrievables on test day....
Well today Duke brought home this Masterlock 'biner and he and I have been mulling over the varying probablities of different types of combinations, and, well working on his physics homework in the down time. Personally as a penguin, I only understand thermal interactions, this electromagnetics, as Duke calls it, is way over my head. I sit here double checking his work, and contemplate the Masterlock.
