Aggregating

A long-term project has been to organize the garage. Over many years, things get stashed where there's space or just get set loose on the work bench or in a plastic parts bag. I think I have found all the L-brackets and they're all in one place now!

Taken with a Joby GorillaPod (for the longer exposure and greater DOF with the 60mm lens) and my late-FIL's OttLite.

Another goal is to have a “photo-station” in the garage, for photos like this with the OttLite on the work surface or with the “foldio.” (You can Google “foldio” or I should post a photo of mine, though this post is part of it.)

Good luck with the organizing. I need to do the same, want to do the same. The body just won't cooperate at the moment.

They look completely organized.

Great shot. I have so many "open packages" when I needed only "1" of something that came in a package of "4".

@thewatersphotos Many, many years ago we thought we would try to capture rain water in a barrel and use that to water the flowers. I never did get a barrel and the project died, but I had bought the valve and connectors. Came across the valve this month, Googled it and found that it was a $15–$20 item. What the heck, it's still an “active” item; I'll try to return it. I knew where I bought it and they took it back for a cash refund. :)

I needed to replace some rusting parts on my roof rack. I needed 4 of everything. A couple of the items came in packages of 3…
