What a strange vintage we are. Constantly needing to photograph each thing, each moment. What other species demands to self archive everything? The same information, experiences, places visually captured over and over again.
What do we expect to learn from it; from taking a picture of it all?
When the Daniels Fisher Tower was completed in 1910, it was the tallest tower between the Mississippi River and California. While the skyline has changed greatly, the 16th Street Mall and Colorado Capital building remain. Today a Green Rush drives the economy at the same furied pace that the Silver and Gold Rush once did.
The one catch with both types of plates, is you have to break it on the first throw for the wish to be granted. The owner also offers air soft guns and targets as well. Packages start at 1000 yen for 5 plates. The most expensive package is around 7000 yen for 100 plates. You can also do mixed plate and airsoft packages.
For saftey you wear a jacket, mask, and gloves. On the wall there are concrete slabs that you throw the plates against.
The broken plates fall to the bottom or you can recover a plate that did not break when you threw it.
The owner was really nice and of all the things I've spent money on, this one was well worth it.
