Antique Tools

Black and white photographs of antique tools, which are intrinsically beautiful objects, but also serve as a metaphor for the passing of the great American industrial age and of course, the great American worker.

Many of these photographs are designed to be printed at monumental sizes, and would look incredible on large walls inside modern corporate spaces.
