Such a fascinating object–my first guess was something medical–but the photo is very cool!

Thank you for your guess! Funny enough, I do have a few random medical items tucked away from my days as a Paramedic, but they’re hardly anything exciting to photograph. However, I’ve got a collection of electrical components and test equipment that I’ve always thought might make intriguing subjects for the lens.
One of my proudest moments was when I engineered and designed an 800 amp commercial power distribution system.
Life has always taken me on unexpected paths. Teachers often didn’t know how to handle my quirks, and college just wasn’t my journey to completion. I’ve always been a bit different, but it’s led me to some pretty cool places, and I’ve got some cool souvenirs as well. 🙂
Thank you for your comment!
