Oh man this thing is awesome for so many reasons.. except functionality. I am glad it's still there, though! The apartment is a classic example of uncontrollable radiator heat too, brutal all year long!

Thanks, Andrew!

this show is about witches in coastal new england. somehow i relate. the fixtures are topical as well i guess....

this is officially expanding

into the ever exciting world of all fixtures.

i love footie tubs

and this is a nice sink!

huzzah!

thanks to Jori for this pic! i like what they have going here.. sort of protects you from touching it but still keeps the fireplace/warmth idea.. cute.

also good news on the camera front! either the warranty office or the postal service lost it, but apparently since it's been 30 days either way they are going to put it through! i am now awaiting my check, and will buy my fourth canon elph. oy.

cameras

i suck at cameras. the most recent one is sent out in hopes of collecting warranty money. radiators are going undocumented all over town.

more party radiators! it was so dark, i thought this one was green but it's just old. the girls you see here wanted to know what was going on when i was taking flash photos. i love explaining this. they seemed interested! i bet they were less so once they sobered up, but it was nice of them to pretend ;) i think it started two conversations because someone else asked if we were from out of town. she was southern and leah had a conversation with her. so radiators are a good way to make friends?

late night

ok so this one is somewhere around bridgewater, massachusetts. it was very late and i kinda failed at the pics. so i am going to include this lovely shot of the bathroom for good measure

Red!

Some people paint them.

Bathrooms

I often find myself taking pictures in bathrooms! Shhhh. Same place as the last, on Mass Ave.

Mass Ave

This is my sister's boyfriend's place. There was a massive fire there a couple of months ago and half the building was left uninhabitable. Thankfully, it was not his half, but when they renovate I would not be surprised if these babies are shipped out to the iron pour.

His pipes are loud as hell and the apartment is even hotter!

Portland, Maine, being creative with radiators!

This is at the home of some family friends. They are very good decorators!

Also, a nice paint peeling effect.

molten iron

Here is one way to use old iron... This is from the fall 2008 "Iron Pour" at MassArt. Every year, the iron guild does this, they melt down lots of old radiators etc., and then do fun stuff with molten iron! Such as pour it on big wet tree stumps, causing hot metal embers to fly all over the place. Not for the faint of heart, but pyro's paradise :D

In this pic, you can see the molten iron (I kept wanting to say lava) pouring down a tube.

This video is one of the big explosions from the crowd. It's not too clear or steady, the flying lava did make even me kinda nervous! But you get the idea. Fun uses for old radiators!

The Radiator Graveyard

In Somerville, Massachuesetts, pretty much started it all. I am guessing this guy collects them for scrap iron more than anything else. I thought it was pretty impressive, and kind of, well, beautiful?
