This picture is my idea of a perfect place to take photos. Unfortunately, the guy that ran the business was very suspicious of me. He thought I might be from "the city" and might be there to check for violations of something or other. Either I took this shot on the way over to ask his permission, or it is one of the shots he finally let me take. I'm going back there, soon, I hope; I will give him one of the pictures, matted and framed, of an item in his recycling center, to help assuage this fears that I am a spy from "the city" and maybe he'll let me explore some more.
And now for a bit of shameless self-promotion: I received a call this weekend from my "agent", the art guy that peddles my paintings. He had picked up 32 paintings last weekend; by Saturday he had sold 15 of them. He was giddy. . . he said he had never done that before, sold 15 paintings of one artist in a week. I told him to keep up the good work. . . I need a new floor. He needs more paintings. I still can't believe I am actually getting paid to do something I love and would do anyway.

Even though I would question Is rubbish Art, I can appreciate the way you have taken the photos, and added your own interetaion of them, I liked the one of the tip.

Paula, some people are so suspicious. Makes me think they have something to hide. I hope the offering I plan to give the guy will help, because I really want to go back and mine this place.
Ann: Are you kid-less now? Are they gone? Are you sad? Are you relieved? Are they happy? I will call you.
Chris: I think, but I don't know for sure, that everything, even rubbish, has the potential to be at least inspiration for art. See my post today.
Such great news about your paintings selling, Mary; many congratulations! Bet it’s great feeling. So glad you've gotten back to painting again, too.
Thank you, Gina. I definitely feel like it's worth painting, again.
