Recently photographed a bunch of stuff at the Wells Fargo Archives. Here's something you don't see everyday.
Furry Mascots
And with this, I think I've exhausted the Wells Fargo corporate archive. Until they ask me to shoot more of their stuff. I imagine it would be rather difficult to create a walking mascot for First Interstate Bank. Or the seventh one, I guess.
Emily Polar. No pun intended.
Yours, truly.
Pun
One more from the Wells Fargo corporate archive.
James Hume and Black Bart
Black Bart being much more famous than James Hume, of course, but this wallet of mugshots belonged to Hume.
It's so precise and uniform.
And filled with rogues. It's quite a contrast, Hume's methodical stalking, versus the likely chaotic lives of his targets.
I'm pretty sure only Black Bart gets a full page, however. But oh, look at Grant Sutton, there - I don't think that's quite the right hat for him.
Black Bart was quite a dandy, apparently. This is his walking stick. It's about 30" long - not actually long enough to lean on, but good for pointing at things.
A little more about these two on the Wells Fargo Archive blog.
How to Photograph Doors
These are a pair of doors that once closed up a Wells Fargo Depot, to safeguard the gold and silver inside.
Except that now, they live inside the San Francisco museum.
Even if you did get past those doors, you'd still be confronted with something like this.
