"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

Comment by Lynn Radford on June 13, 2012 at 4:35pm: What can I say? DK inspires...

All bins pictured below are routinely raided for TrashPo compositions and are rarely emptied. I have yet to use a snotty tissue, but I haven't completely ruled it out. :D

Comment by Neil Gordon on June 13, 2012 at 3:26pm: Great metaphor/analogy DK about unwrapped gifts! I'll try inter-library loan for the trash movie!

Comment by DKeys on June 13, 2012 at 3:20pm: Thanks Neil-=trash snapshots give an immediate sense of e time and place-like a town datestamp. The nice thing is then you throw it all out. unfortunately on our walk, we also saw a dying squirrel. I'm not going to see it as any kind of sign other than the natural process of life. The Trash movie isn't on Netflix unfortunately. It's probably terrible, which might make it good. possessed trash? possessed by the holy spirit maybe!

yes, how to video. my skills are rudimentary but I might give it a try. be nice if bunches did it

email is a poor replacement for mail--there's no anticipation. It's like the difference in getting a wrapped vs unwrapped gift

Comment by Neil Gordon on June 13, 2012 at 3:09pm: DK, your scanPo is like classical art meets the sidewalk!-gotta find this "trash "movie!

DVS:ScanPo very "John Cageish"!!!!

Comment by Neil Gordon on June 13, 2012 at 3:05pm: Wondeful scannerPO,i think a "how to" video series would be great to teach others. from the sidewalk,dumpster to the mail box, step by step!!!! We need trash Techies!----------------------------------------------------------

I like the scanner-Po even though I'm a Luddite, except[ when it comes to old radios and cassette recorders!!! There's a great book out called the "Tyranny of Email" out
