What could you find to photograph for history? Typewriters, wrist watches, maps on paper… so many things which have been made old fashioned, and obsolete. I miss the mechanical things like the old phones, watches and a compass. Inventions which were treasured while their time lasted.
The Obsolescence Project. 2013 – Ongoing.
Initially begun as a 30 day photographic blog project, it became a 365 day blog documenting things that are obsolete or about to be, about the nature of obsolescence and occasionally a modest and brief history of stuff.

Hey Thanks for the post! I miss the mechanical too. Cheers
Thanks for the comment. It amazes me how much cell phones have replaced and how included and expected they are these days. I don’t have one, I don’t even like the idea of them. But they are becoming so integrated into so many things I may have to keep one even if I never use it as a phone.
