Challenge #2 - 02/25/07
This week's challenge has a HANDS theme. You are to take the following photos:
1. "Winner" and "Loser" self portraits. Make a "W" with your hands on against your forehead for "Winner". Make an "L" with your hand against your forehead for "Loser". Bonus points if your "L" is backwards. That takes a real loser!!
2. someone (you or anyone) doing "the claw".
3. a stranger making a Vulcan sign with their hand. Extra points for telling them to live long and prosper when they leave. We're just gonna have to take your word on that one.
4. someone (you or anyone) using sign language to make the first letter of their (or your) name.
5. someone holding a tool
Hiding...behind the sign...that says "hidden." Also a tribute to Erin;s band "Hidden Mitten." And they weren't kidding, Ocean CIty, MI was sooo dark and confusing, we were lost in minutes.
When the Oregon Legislature authorizes a highway sign for a fallen military service member or a fallen law enforcement officer, employees from Government Relations, districts, regions and sign shops coordinate to get the signs made and installed. Recently signs for Deputy Mark Whitehead and Sergeant Scott Collins were installed on Interstate 84 near Fairview.

These industrial area signs always interest me; this one looks like it's been there a while. Plenty of space available around here!

Pre Worboys (1963) sign in Birmingham- funny to think it's been there well over 40 years now. Above it is a BR station sign and the pole is an old black/white striped model, painted over in grey (see other photo)
Sign in a bank window across from an empty/rehab building in St. Louis. Reflected in the window is a sign for a defunct jewelry store. It amuses me that some people might buy jewelry as part of their retirement process, or that the jeweler might now be retired (as opposed to out of business involuntarily).
Sign reads:
How Well
You Retire Depends
On How Well You Plan Today
Come in to talk about retirement plans that make sense.
Continuing my ghost sign odyssey I offer up another one for observation. According to my research Kerbs, Wertheim, & Schiffer was the maker of General Arthur Cigars which were popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The brand was discontinued in 1917, so this sign had to have been painted prior to 1917.
The sign at the top shows that paint was available at the Parchen Drug Co.
Comments are welcome.

My Apple is dead and heading out for repair soon. I won't be around much till then, my pick of machines is pretty sad without the Mac. Hell of a way to start the year. See you soon!
This great looking old sign is one of many to be found in downtown Roanoke, Virginia. I don't know anything about its history, but fortunately it looks to be in good condition. I cropped this to bring the sign in closer.
And when you might think I was bored on that ship photographing all those silly signs...I was. To me nothing in the world is so boring as being on a ship for longer than an hour. There is land in sight for some minutes, even seagulls stop following after an hour or two, There's a cinema and the only movie I wanted to see was broken, there's a band, but it stops singing at 12am, there's a beautiful bar, closing at 12:30am, the time a normal bar makes most money, sleeping is impossible on a moving ship, my friends sleeping like an ox within a second, outside is rain and darkness...BOOOORING from start to finish...
So I hope you like these silly signs ;-)
