Manipulated Polaroid SX-70 image of a photo collage of found objects mixed together.

12.5"x12.5"x1.75" SOLD 12/08 Cannibals, Portland, OR

Found a frame next to the tapes. White marker on blue felt. A homeless man was sleeping next to where I was drawing - I didn't see him and he scared the shit out of me, hence the sloppy fat bear.

For some it's just a piece of driftwood; to others it's found art.

So nicely arranged, in the gutter. I didn't touch them.

 

The squirrels wouldn't pose for me. Maybe they were all taking naps.

An unattractive yet sturdily built chair abandoned deep in the forest. The forest thicket where I found this was near a few homes but in an undeveloped lot. I was surprised at its durability in the moisture of New Brunswick forest.

This was one of 147 photos from four rolls of Kodak Portra 160 which I finally had processed in February of 2025 at PEI Photo Lab in Charlottetown. The photos were all taken between 2020 and 2022 in Whitehorse, Yukon. I seem to recall taking most, if not all, with my old Canon AT-1 film camera from the 1970's.

 

This photo was taken in 2020 or 2021 on a trail in Whitehorse, Yukon. Since then we have moved to the other side of the country. The film bearing this photo was processed in February of 2025.

all the Beachcombing series photos are available on my website and through my Etsy shop (links in my profile.)

Bicycles are so much fun to photograph. I really love the graphic potential that they offer.
