The other side of the strip mall

After The Incident, I didn’t want to push my luck when taking my daughter to the gym. So the next time I decided to explore the other side of the strip mall to see what treasures it possessed. Eventually I wandered around behind the building.

And reader, I hit the mother lode of dumpsters. Like tons. My photos of those glorious rust buckets have helped seed a new ongoing project called Gorgeous Garbage. I collect a lot of trash photos—like someone else I know—and have wanted to compile them into a project for while.

Below are some of the other keepers from that shoot that didn’t (necessarily) fit into the trash content dynamic. All in all a good outing.
