Built in 1933, this 68-foot high piece of history is displayed on Magazine Street in Cambridge along the Charles River. Although the station is still pumping gas, the sign has been not been illuminated for over two years. So many of the bulbs burned out that it appeared to spell the word “HELL”, and offended residents petitioned for it to be shut off. (#25 of 100 in the Boston Signage Project)
The shells and the straw mat were something I found on my parents' balcony when I was visiting many years ago. I'd just finished building my Bender, and I was always itching to use it. Because the balcony was almost always in shadow, light tended to be directional and highly diffuse. The combination worked well.
I stopped down a fair bit for this one, and seem to recall the exposure time was in the many seconds range. I intentionally over-exposed it to get a high key exposure on the white shell.
