Time Machine


There's a great shop on Main Street in Vancouver. In addition to being a junk collectors' haven, there are some wonderful sculptures created by the store's owner.

I love all his sculptures (I really want on of his espresso maker robots) but this time machine really caught my eye. It just screams Steampunk - although I don't know if the guy had ever heard of the term before I came in.

The store is called Old Stuff Two and is at 4510 Main Street, Vancouver, BC. No email, no website - he just sells through the store.

Vintage Photos from the Smithsonian

The Smithsonian has a great Flickr photostream of vintage (and some modern) photos. This one of Felix Nadar, Photographer and Aeronautical Scientist looked very steampunk.



The best part? The photos are listed as having "No known copyright restrictions" which means they are in the public domain!

More info about that here
