Photo 365: Day 48 – YKK

Ever wondered what YKK in the zipper means? Almost all zippers have YKK imprinted on them.
Well the other day I read an interesting blog post (thanks to Google Reader’s recommended items) on YKK. If you guessed YKK is the name of the company that makes zippers, you guessed it right. You would be surprised YKK is based in Japan & not in China 😉 YKK stands for Yoshida Kogyo Co., and this company is famous for manufacturing zippers besides other products. Here is the wiki entry for YKK.

I had the picture taken this evening as I was waiting for my daughter to return back from her class. It was a nice day outside and she had left her coat in the car. As I was contemplating on what to picture tonight for my Photo 365 project, I saw her coat and liked the way the zipper was painted to go with her pink coat.

Took this with my travel Point & Shoot Fuji F30 using spot metering – as I was relaying on the sunlight coming through the car’s window. Not too bad for a Point & Shoot camera 😉
