A series of photos taken in and around the Wholesale District of Downtown Los Angeles, CA. This series attempts to create a portrait of the area through an examination of the architecture and other man-made "modifications" to the area.

® Eyemech Modification by Sheryl Designs
A spark from Countess' chimney started a small lineside fire. The following day during the early morning inspection a gap was found between two of the components. About ten minutes before the advertised departure time the workshop staff decided to undertake a tactical modification. The loco was uncoupled from the train and taken to the back door of the loco shed and a couple of patches were welded to the underside of the spark arrestor base plate.

Some older AI images modified with new Photoshop beta. Borders were expanded and then auto filled by Photoshop. A whole new world.

Love these mirrors! The one that's easiest to see has an angelbabe on it, the other one has a devilbabe. I chose the gold finish to give the bike a splash of color it sorely lacks.
This is my good old Vivitar Series 1 70-210 f/2.8-4 Macro focusing zoom lens, so called "version 3" made in the seventies by Komine company in Japan.
Back in the seventies, its performance with wide open aperture was quite impressive, especially for monochrome photography, where you can't see any chromatic aberration. And it is still quite sharp at f/2.8, but with a modern camera, I don't really have to worry about getting as much light as possible since it works well even at higher sensitivity settings. This lens is good in terms of optical quality, but ergonomically, it's a bit awkward - holding it by hand, it is too easy to move an aperture ring and to get a non-ideal setting. So, I decided to modify it mechanically to restrict aperture range to ~f/5.6 by rotating the mounting flange by 120º and cutting a new shorter slot in it for an aperture control pin that is supposed to be used to control this lens with Minolta film camera.
To do that, I had to remove non-reflective flange cover, detach the flange ring itself, cut a new slot with a small rotary grinder tool and put everything back together. This modification is completely reversible.
Hand trolley modified as bike trailer?
I guess the plastic container bucketing the seat acts as a mudguard? (there's potential for some more storage there - but this owner had completely cut away the front - possibly to allow pedalling!)
