posters are put up in many different places. eventually the posters are removed, but the staples, used to fasten them up, always remain.


1.
these shots are from a series of photos of staples in wood surfaces that i've been taking. above is a bunch of staples in a fence.


2.
here is a telephone post completely covered in them and shot with super shallow depth of field. a little too shallow.


3.
here is an older digital shot of a telephone pole(post) with staples. i tried to make it match the film shots a little by adding some grain.


the name of the series, "post poster posts", gets its name from post, meaning after / poster, meaning the poster that was put up / and posts, meaning either poles or the act of posting.
