This week we’re considering another aspect of form in our black and white series: typeface

When I saw this challenge pop up in my RSS reader, I instantly thought of my thesis and its sexy, sexy typesetting. Unfortunately, the challenger ruled that out in the first paragraph, so I was left with no ideas. Then, today, on the walk home from work, I was looking around for some signs that would work for the challenge, and I spied two. One was the Resene Color [sic] shop sign, which would have been amusing. However, it probably wouldn’t work too well in black and white, So I went with the other option: the Brentwood. I went back later this evening, once the light was well and truly gone, to see how it looked when it was lit up. It was pretty nice, so I took some shots, and this is the one I liked best. Interesting story about that, just as I started shooting, a car pulled up on the other side of road (so between me and the Brentwood). Turns out it was a cop car, and two police officers got out, then helped somebody out of the back seat and starting asking questions about handcuffs. I took a few more frames (none of them) and then took off back home as fast as I could considering I was carrying $6,000 worth of gear in my hand. I don’t think they took any notice of me…
