    Obviously, this is not actually a toy building. This is actually a functioning plant of some sort along the waterfront in East Oakland. It was not far from our last rehearsal for tonight’s ReCardiacsFly show in San Francisco.

    It has a very surreal effect. Toy building is a good title for the photo 🙂 Happy WW

    I love this shot. I love that it’s done in b/w.

    Happy WW!

    That is an interesting looking factory. It must be really gigantic since the cars look like toy cars. Great picture. Take care.

    Great subject for b&w!
    Is this the old Anchor-Hocking glass plant in the Jingletown district?

    I love this shot, especially fine in black and white. Reminds me of a movie I once saw in a film class. Don’t remember the title but it gives that same stark feeling.

    I just linked your yesterday entry on FB, love the shots! This one makes me think of the 50s.

    Such great photos and always enjoy them.

    This was in Jingletown, so it might very well be the plant the Louis suggested.

    I thought you were going to say it was a toy-building factory! Good luck with the show tonight!

    I love this one! For some reason it seems alienish to me, perhaps because of the black/white setting? Not sure but it makes me think of “War of the Worlds”

    Sure looks like a toy building. 🙂
    I like the b/w pics.

    Are those entrails in the sky for real? Looks like some kind of special effect!

    Going to read the highway piece now!

    I would not have guessed this factory was in Oakland, but somewhere in the midwest perhaps. The Hipstamatic effect gives it a nostalgic feeling. I admire your iphone photos. It’s not always easy to compose something meaningful with so little control.
