Day 281: VW Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph of a symbol today." I wasn’t sure whether company logos counted exactly but still! This is a Volkswagen logo from a wheel hub.

Day 280: Gas Canister Originally uploaded by phillsacre Via Flickr: Daily Shoot assignment: "Make a photograph dominated by the color orange today." This is a gas canister not far from where I work.
