Fire Extinguisher

The title for this one is pretty self-explanitory. It's a fire extinguisher. I have no certain idea why dad took this picture, but there some notion in the foggiest reaches of my memory that he tried briefly to make a little money on the side with photography and this may have been a "portfolio" of sorts, a demonstration of a product shot for advertising. Or he could have just had an extinguisher fetish. One thing I do remember is him working on this shot in his home darkroom. He must have developed dozens of copies of this shot, and I remembered it to this day, and was quite pleased to find the negative.
