These are the merest sampling of some photos I took
for fun (and without the permission of the owners, oopsies) at the
most wonderful little mini-mall in the world: a place called "Junque
Mart" on Blue Star Highway just south of Glenn, MI. The products are displayed
with unparalled taste and creativity, as you can see from these
photos. If you ever find yourself in West Michigan (sorry!), it's
worth a side trip. The pictures were taken with my Leningrad-made LOMO
camera. It's got a plastic lens (good-ol' Soviet craftsmanship, yup
yup), so even though it - ahem - doesn't have the most amazing array
of features I've ever seen (you get to choose between four focus
settings, period) and mine is held together with electrical tape, it
takes really funky, artsy-type photos with NO EFFORT ON THE
PHOTOGRAPHER'S PART WHATSOEVER. Cool, eh?
(P.S. If you look closely, or better yet click on the
pictures for a bigger (though still far from perfect) version), you'll
be able to see a fine bust of a bulldog behind old Zeus in the lower
left. The lower right, of course, has got to be JC himself, with a
dandy homemade crown of thorns, if you ask me)
