I set out today to photograph one specific dumpster for my Dumpsters of Minneapolis project. It caught my eye after Funk Fest at Sociable CiderWerks, and I had to go back to get a closer look. Unfortunately, it was trapped behind a high security fence with no trespassing signs everywhere and lots of important-looking people doing mysterious things roaming back and forth. I didn’t want to chance it. Defeated, I drove away and parked next to Spyhouse on Broadway. I looked up and saw the street sign for Central Ave, and decided I’d walk it today instead.

I love seeing what’s become of old pay phones.
Nice Ride
Cultivate Northeast
These two buckets holding handles just made my morning.
I really want to find a reason to patronize this business. Is Tim the owner? Or the the owner’s cat?
I love this so much.
It really is.
Decline. And that doodle above it!!
So pretty.
I love rust and decay, and was sad to see workers painting over such beauty to make these posts new and sterile. But I watched several of them investing so much care and precision to the paint jobs I began to appreciate it. Perhaps I need to adjust my lens and find the beauty in this newness.
