random ideas
I'm obsessed with sewer grates at the moment.
Some of them have so much text on, they're just covered in writing.
And because they're made of iron some of them are like a hundred years old.
You'd never normally read them because even if you notice them you never really have the time to stop and look at them that closely.
If you did stop and read one you'd get very strange looks.
But if you keep an eye out you will notice that many of them are very worn, so the text's unreadable, just an unevenness on the surface.
I'm also fascinated by containers.
All sorts of reasons; that they stack so high, and you can see them in such huge yards; that they're this uniform size, but in so many colours.
And again there's the text.
Some of them have no writing, but most have at least one word whether it's running horizontal or vertical, whether it's English, German, Chinese or another language.
