Sam and His Wondrous Garage

As I promised, here's a shot of Cathi's grandpa Sam. I think I told the story before about his wonderous garage workshop
where he has just about everything you could imagine and, at 90 years young, he knows where every little thing is.
And let me tell you, every single wall, plus the floor and the ceiling, are covered like this. I couldn't show it all!

I told Sam that I needed to take his picture here in his shop and he was happy to let me in.
I took quite a few shots and he was very patient. I'm pretty happy with this one.
I used my one Alien Bees flash and the open garage door with an overcast sky.

Here is a more medium shot with a bit more detail of his shop.
How many of the items in the background can you identify?

Excellent portrait! That workshop alone could be a weeks worth of PAD's!

Todd, you forgot to tell everyone that he also has three walkers and a wheelchair, just in case some old person happens to need one. Great shot!

very nice portrait of Grandpa Sam - the red jacket stands out from the background. I'm very
envious of the tool collection but I doubt I'd know what a third of 'em do!
