When I made my fire hydrant book last semester, I was lost on what to title each individual photo. I didn't keep a map of where I went, but knew from the notes I took to tell the different rolls of film apart generally where each roll was shot. I tried to retrace my steps and figure out the street name for each hydrant. about half of them I was sure I knew, the other half were educated guesses.
I intend on making another book of fire hydrants at some point when I collect enough digital files to compose one. I want to include a map of where they are and a correct title for each, and here is my solution to the problem:
So, inevitably, it will be a typology of fire hydrants as well as street signs, although the street signs won't all be exactly the same due to the fact that I stand on the corner to take the photo of the sign, and with alternating side of the street, the signs are not all oriented the same. It doesn't bother me that they will be different though, it adds a bit of interest.
