Eventfull days

What a day,

Yesterday was an eventful day. I had a job to go and photograph an engineering firm that makes screws. This involved being there from about 9am BST. The day started with me asking the director what he wanted me to shoot. (I had already asked him in a email) he said your the creative one I will leave it to you.. Bugger I thought no direction being given, what shall I do? So I just wandered around the factory looking and talking to the staff. Eventually I got my lights out and set them up and found out where all the wall sockets were. I started to take some pictures of the machines that were making the threads, on speaking to one of the men working on a machine I found out that the threads they were making were not being cut as I thought they were but they were being impressed and squashed to form the heads and threads. These all come from a roll of heavy guage wire that is fed into a machine at one end and at the other end they come out as threads. Truly a clever stuff. I had to spend the day here shooting anything that looked interesting. It's amazing how dirty I got while walking around and shooting. This is a company that sells all over the world even to China (Wow) and they were saying that things were quite for them but they had plans to market in a much larger way. This is definitly a company going places. At the end of the day as I was putting my gear away I found it was very mucky as there was grease on the wires. I asked for a cloth and was wiping my kit down with it to see loads of grease come of the wires etc. Prior to doing this shoot I had been shooting the threads etc in my studio for the websight and publicity.
