ASSETS: GASTOWN STEAM CLOCK



This was my favorite to do and the most challenging. Since I was in Manila at the time, I only had google on my side to help me get a better idea of the clock. I needed to search the web for workable pictures to use as reference or texture. Distortion can really hurt a  good picture so I had to make the most out of what I had available. Luckily, I found pictures that were "pieces" of the clock, such as the metal plates with the inscription on it, or the see through glass showing the mechanism inside the clock. There was not one picture that had all of the elements.  It was a matter of "filling in the gaps" and putting it all together.
