Our Shades

We found this in a free box on someone's yard. It originally came in a broken frame, which someone tried to fix with peanut butter.

Drumming

I found this picture in an alley behind a head shop in Boulder. It was cut out of a piece of glossy photo paper and was neatly leaned against a soda can. On the back it says "GET DRUMMED!"

Not a Toilet

I spotted this in an alley. I can imagine the frustration that went into it.

Lost Semi-Telepathic Cat

This poster appeared on a pole outside my house one night. There were no others like it in the neighborhood, or posted at any stores nearby. I can't imagine how someone lost a cat pulling a wagon with balloons.

Sighting

I found this trampled and weather worn note on Eastlake Avenue on my way home from a friend's house one night. It seems so earnest and helpful-- like the kid who wrote it was concerned for the neighborhood's safety.

That Hair!

I found this Polaroid face down in the trunk of a car at the junk yard while looking for some parts. When I turned it over, all I could think was LOOK AT THAT HAIR! I graduated in 1984 and it appears that they went to the prom four years later and I wondered how we even thought that big hair was cool. No, I did not find the parts I was looking for; but, I got this fine photo.

Dress-up Kitty

I think this gem was from the 1800s printed on a large glass plate negative that I found.

Cleanup for the Cleanup Crew

I volunteered to help the Kids Adopt-A-Beach Cleanup at Dock Weiler Beach. There were over 2,000 kids carrying plastic bags and wearing green gloves to pick up trash on the beach.

While performing this duty, I realized that the majority of the trash on the beach that day was actually from the "Clean Up." I did my best with the time I had, but I wonder if they should schedule an entire cleanup crew just to clean up after the original cleanup crew. Most of the kids trash bags were filled wit...

Boxed in

Found this on a lovely sunny evening, my very first find.

Mardi Gras

I found this photo in a discarded photo album. On the back it states that this is a photo of Susan and Joseph at a Mardi Gras Parade. I can appreciate how the sea of people parted so that this picture could be taken.
