Posted by Roger Hein at April 7, 2006 08:18 AMThis is a great image. Composition, tone, I like the whole thing! Well done.
Posted by Dave at April 7, 2006 08:28 AMI love it. That's a great store from what I've heard. I never shopped there but I had friends who got almost everything there.
Great photo.
Posted by A thinker at April 7, 2006 08:35 AMwhat a cool picture....
looks like a parachutist....
Nice red too.
This place is so cool, and, that's right, you can find anything in there.

Posted by doug at April 7, 2006 09:27 AMFantastic capture. Such an interesting subject, i've been staring at it's body parts for the last five minutes!
Posted by dave at April 7, 2006 09:42 AMVery cool!! Love the orange wall to contrast this against!
Posted by Dave MacIntyre at April 7, 2006 10:11 AMfunny, there were a few active surplus shots on flickr this past week and then this. you guys all getting paid off to reintroduce this classic shop?
I went there for a class in college, my group made a robot. very primitive one. it only worked once. but we got an A
Posted by ron at April 7, 2006 10:26 AMThat is bright and colorful. However, time and soot will make it difficult to maintain its appearance unless it is indoors.
P.S. I have heard of calves like bowling pins but not thighs. :^)
Posted by Kevin at April 7, 2006 10:37 AMvery creative sculpture. i like looking at it to try to dissect what each component is.
Posted by schmee at April 7, 2006 10:41 AMYeah they replaced the gorilla with a poster of a gorilla. I wish they'd get rid of the guy who's always screaming ACTive SURplus! ACTive SURplus!
Anyway, love the wall texture.
Posted by rek at April 7, 2006 11:44 AMWall Texture is impressive. I'm curious as to why that framing, was there some cropping? Is he holding something you didn't like?
Nice photo nonetheless !
w o n d e r f u l !
looks like kinetic art!
i'm starting a project about kinetic art at some primary schools here in the netherlands.
thanx ;-)
this photo remembers me the song "Paranoid Android" - Radiohead -
.
I could guess you cut the hand to allow a just better close view of the body - and it fits the frame well - no waste space. I'd call it a well taken recording of an amazing piece of art on a wall of a very seductive orange stucco.
Thank you for the look, Sam.

Posted by *flying cow* at April 7, 2006 04:57 PMIt's hard to get the scale - it looks like it could be 6 inches - or 15 feet. Wild.
I know the size - but it's fun to think of it as a giant sculpture.
Posted by don Guss at April 7, 2006 05:51 PMHah I've been there before. Found nice 3.5mm to RCA audio cables. Nice photo!
Posted by Raffi at April 7, 2006 06:45 PMSounds like a great place for some abstract photo ops.
Posted by micki at April 7, 2006 08:51 PMThat's cool, but I find it pretty creepy. Is that the new enemy robot in Terminator 4?

Posted by Neal Bobby at April 8, 2006 12:29 AMThis is one is really weird. But I like it. The texture of the wall is nice (or is it a floor)?
Posted by Tom from (Lucerne Times) at April 8, 2006 02:28 AMVery funny! Fantastic color - I like this a lot!
Posted by Abe at April 11, 2006 01:25 AMoh dear. that looks like my sister.
Posted by tommy at April 15, 2006 03:32 AMA little disturbing but very creative. I wish we had a store like that around here.
Posted by Andy at April 16, 2006 09:17 PMVery interesting. =]
