I did my typology on fire hydrants - specifically, yellow fire hydrants! Before starting this assignment, I had never noticed yellow ones existed. I'd always thought they only came in red. (Refer back to class when Slade told us to notice the little things - I used to be a fire-hydrant-unnoticer, but now I have a keen eye, kind of like a hydrantologist). Driving around, I found not only yellow but orange, green, purple, red, white, and black, and mixtures of two or three of those colors! Some fire hydrant painter people don't mess around with matching colors. They throw whatever colors they want up on a fire hydrant and declare it a public fixture eyesore.
But anyway.
I found a couple of them that were painted to look like dalmatians with fire hats on to honor firefighters, and even though they were oh so adorable, I couldn't seem to find more than two. So if you see some puppy-painted fire hydrants, let a girl know. Since the random colors weren't specific enough and I couldn't find any kind of order in the chaos, I decided to focus on the yellow ones because one, it's probably my favorite color, and two, I found a lot of them. So there you have it, yellow fire hydrants. The most interesting man photographic project in the world.
