Because I'm a rotten photographer.

Seriously though - what color are you looking to see? The pump is silver and grey, the bolt is black from diesel oil and grease. The only color to see would be the Bosch tag on the side.

It's grainy and out of focus because;
  • I shot it hand held, on a cell phone, under dim mercury vapor illumination, in my basement.
  • I didn't like the high contrast that the cruddy flash on camera produces.
  • I didn't feel like dragging out my Speedotron strobes and setting up a table-top product shot.

If there is a detail that you can't make out, let me know and I'll put up a shop light and take some better photos. There is actually a view that I was thinking of shooting that shows, from above, how much the bolt collar sticks out - that might also be helpful.

I am also going to shoot the repair job. That'll be interesting.
