stove burner collections and images of jobs long gone

Stoveburner.com features an artist's collection of stove burners. A very odd thing to collect? Maybe not -- take a look at them: some of them are very beautiful pieces of sculpture.

Artist Raymon Elozua also has another beautiful and fascinating site: Lost Labor. It's a collection of photographs of workers, factories, and machinery in jobs that no longer exist -- or if they do still exist (as far as I know, there are still assembly lines and steel mills), maybe they don't manufacture products in the same way now. A fascinating collection.
