Safe - This is the old safe in the historical Sheraton in downtown Columbia. As the first high rise (circa 1913) and the once tallest building in Columbia, it is an excellent example of early 20th century skyscraper sheathed in Gothic revival detail with use of the palmetto tree motif (South Carolina state tree). The 18-story Sheraton is perhaps Columbia's most upscale hotel with a martini lounge in an old bank vault. The Martini Vault where all the martinis are named after bank robbers. This is the safe's mechanisms on the vault door. What I think is awesome is that there is a fingerprint still on the gear.

Safe Er - B&W version of "Safe". The fingerprint really shows up on this one.

Speak Up! - This is in the State Capital Building. Oh to be a fly on the wall! The title is to send a message to stand up and speak out for what you believe in. We are so convinced that we have no say. The squeaky wheel gets the attention.

Or Be Silenced - B&W version of Speak Up!
