A few days ago I went to my father-in-law's mechanical workshop and I realized that he has all kinds of things, parts and tools in this workshop, this place is the dream of every man who likes to repair things hahaha.
But like every workshop, he has a lot of forgotten things everywhere, which perhaps can be used at another time to give it a new use. Some of these things have been around for so long that they have already gotten rust.
Since I usually carry my camera with me wherever I go, I wanted to see all these things through the lens of my camera, I set the camera to shoot directly in B/W and started looking for compositions that could be interesting to create a set of pictures.
This car and this motorcycle were bought by my father-in-law to be repaired and restored when he had time.... and time has passed...
I call the following photos Forgotten Things because among so many things, who knows what might be out there...
To many people many of these things might seem like junk but the truth is that no, a mechanic usually needs one of these things at the most unexpected moment and it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
And then I saw this, which in the midst of so much disorder shows order and humanity:
