Day 31|366 - A Dying Breed

Day 31|366 - A Dying Breed

Meet my prized Rock Creek Seltzer Syphon Bottle, originally from the Washington, DC area. I have to say, I'm not sure it's ever looked better. I acquired this gem on eBay a number of years back from one Walter Backerman, one of the last remaining Seltzermongers in New York City, and probably the World for that matter. Mr. Backerman is a third generation deliveryman, muscling full cases of these bottles to customers in NYC with great pride for his service and his legacy. Check out the link, it's a very cool story.

In keeping with my "Try New Things" mantra for this Project 366, I have executed my first effort playing with Off Camera Flash with this entry, and I have to say I am pleased. The experience does make me pine for more equipment of course... With that said, I can hardly believe it's already one month down. Looking forward to the next eleven!

Many thanks for stopping by, looking and commenting. I'll wade into your 'stream as well.
