nothing tangible is permanent
This is not mine. By chance, a couple of years ago I stumbled upon this photo on someone’s individual web site. The guy who posted it was a self-proclaimed "dumpster diver" and he had successfully rescued this fine photo from the trash during a then recent haul. I got in touch with the dumpster diver to see if perhaps he would consider selling this piece. It would have made a nice addition to my personal collection. Even though he saw enough value in it to save this photo from almost certain destruction, he was somewhat surprised at my offer to purchase it. Unfortunately, the dumpster diver had just recently changed residences at the time and he apparently discarded this photo while packing.
He's still looking.
I'm still looking also.
Some things are just not meant to be.
Alas, even though it is not for me to keep, I thought I would share nonetheless. I checked with the dumpster diver to get his approval. He thought it was a great idea. Oh, and if you happen to come across this photo someday, I’m still interested.

flickr friends please note: I inadvertently marked this photo as "private" after many of you had already been kind enough to have saved this as a favorite. If you marked this photo as a favorite prior to this faux pas , your favorite was removed by the flickr system. It really wasn’t me that removed your favorite. It was them. I swear! Please feel free to mark as a favorite again if you were one of the people who were affected by this. Sorry, it won’t happen again if I can help it.
