Houstonist Flickr Photo of the Day - Action

The shot from flickr user and Houstonist photo contributor Jeff Balke.

At first look one might get the impression this is some sort of weapon-locking system. A fair assumption given that most antiques in the Houston area are gun related. This is no weapon, unless you're strong enough to swing it around and bludgeon someone.

This is an antique film projector at the Heights Station antique shop in the Heights. It looks great in sepia with the macro focus. We imagine that everything that happened in past was sepia with a really narrow focus range. It's why there were so many car accidents.
