Those are bungee cords that I use to protect the shelving in case of earthquake shaking. The shelves themselves came out of an old radio station and are bolted to the wall and to each other. The shelves are raised about six inches off the ground in case of flooding. I also keep the 78s in the garage so they are on a concrete slab. No weigh danger that way. The photographer just wanted me to pull random records off the shelf and look at them. I'm not sure what I have in my hand there, but it is probably from the spirituals/gospel section.

We are a dog family, so no shredded carpeting or wallpaper. And the dogs love listening to 78s.
