We were walking by a stripped down public board in Berkeley and noticed some hues and shapes just begging for a shot. Of the lot I took, this was my favorite. It implied, to me, a sense of history, in both the faded archival photo and the rusted staples. There&#8217;s also the frenetic renewal, the desperation of the new staples to make life where life has since passed.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/taylar\/4452627243\/\" title=\"Genealogy of a Leaflet\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4020\/4452627243_e567bf5d21_b.jpg\" width=\"680\" alt=\"Torn flyers on bulletin board\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Textures of a Leaflet - \u00a9ingridtaylar<\/p><\/div>\n<p><i><b>The Photo:<\/b> Shot with my trusty old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.panasonic.net\/avc\/lumix\/compact\/fz50\/index.html\">Panasonic FZ50<\/a>, one of the original super-zoom cameras.

Most of my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thefreequark.com\/2009\/04\/spring-in-micro-and-macro\/\">spring macro images<\/a> last year were shot with that combination.
