Some Oldies...pre-byrd

Rusty Daw
Bags & Woe
this oddly graceful old suitcase arrived at the depot sometime in the year 2005, rather forlorn even with its lovely watered silk lining...pocket mouths agape, mourning the loss of some delicate undergarment perhaps?...sans wardrobe for the next stage of the voyage...the memory doll packed up her emptiness and departed.

Not Byrds. 
Perusing old files full of depot images...these are among the first exhibited. Now that we are about to see a new recycling depot rise on the grounds I have been photographing for so many years there is a certain perverse nostalgia on my part for the old tire heaps ...There are so many artists who mine the depot and freestore for ingredients and inspiration.
