Hey guys,

I have my Graded Unit final year project coming up in a weeks time and I need to think of a solid idea. So far I have an idea that needs some loose ends tied up and it goes something like this;

I want to photograph objects of older technology that are now pretty much unused in the world of today but weren't looking out of place 10-20yrs ago. I must shoot 15 images for submission which means 15 objects, so far I have a list of 13 (unlucky number) and the list is this;

Alarm Clock
Analogue Calculator
Original Gameboy
Black & White T.V
Video Tape Player
Cassette Walkman
Record Turntable
Ring Dial Phone
Old Computer
Analogue Radio
Film Camera
Video Camera
Book (e-books replacing?)

Idea behind it would be some form of advertising campaign about technology and everything would be shot on location but treated like a studio with my lighting.

Examples of what I have so far;

1.Analogue Calculator with some Algebra and using the analogue thing to work out the answer.
2.Black & White T.V plugged into an Xbox 360.
3. Cassette Player with a CD rammed in it.
4. Book with usb attached (photoshopped a bit) to a laptop or PC.

I am looking for any suggestions on other objects I could shoot and most importantly ideas for the objects listed?

Would help me out big time!

Will also keep this thread updated with my progress throughout the project which, if all goes to plan I can start next weekend!
 
Casio watch? I also know a admin with one - Retro! ;)
old emac? spotted these at Focus by Glos Uni (I think it was)
Original mobile phone?
 
Typewriter?
CRT Monitor?
analogue tv
 
old style till from a shop
fax machine
 
Minidisc
 
proper old style push button car stereo analogue style!
Car technology has moved on loads
 
Old style racing bike, now replaced with all carbon fibre frame and wheels in funny shapes....

Sorry for so many posts...;)
 
All these posts are all new objects! That's a big help ;) Some of the suggestions are perhaps either too old or not retro enough :P i.e. Typewriter and Minidisc, I have to avoid bike stuff sadly because they know all to well I love my biking stuff :P

I found this image 10mins which sort of sums up my idea quite well,

If you can't read the caption it says "Put your old printer to better use. Trade it in."

Also an idea for the old alarm clock idea is a retro, old feel edit with the day of the shoots paper in the foreground as the only hint of present day.
 
Leccy typewriters are not that old......
