Dumpsters are all over the city as it gentrifies itself for tourists by the busload to shop and eat. What interests me about dumpsters is the fact that a few years ago in SoHo they were often filled with unwanted paintings , prints and drawings as artists moved out because of the skyrocketing rents. The paintings, for example, were not bad and some of therm were quite good but they obviously had no commercial value so they were being consigned to the dumpster. In our commercial society dollar value always trumps aesthetic value. This reminded me of a story. More than thirty years ago I was preparing a show of photographs and was just emerging from my darkroom when a fellow photographer named Russ Martin who shared my darkroom asked why I was taking the trouble of making up all the prints. I told him about the show.He said that I would not sell much and the rest would go into storage. Then, after I died, mountains of framed and boxed prints prints would fall into the hands of my children who would keep them around for a while and then one day they would need the space and call in a dumpster and they would be taken away to a municipal dump . From then on I decided to call this all to real future event the arrival of The Dreaded Russ Martin Dumpster. Recently I found that many artists have the same fear although they have not given a name to it. I suggest everyone with such nightmares call it , "The Arrival Of The Dreaded Russ Martin Dumpster." From these depressing thoughts I decided to take pictures of a dumpster now and then so they would be sent into cyberspace to dwell eternally in a kind of electronic bliss.
As light rain fell, footsore311, McCoy352 and I set out along the fairly popular Lower Big Quilcene trail in Olympic National Forest. Destination: a mellow 2.5 miles to Bark Shanty.
It's been several years since I hiked the Lower Big Quil trail, but I recall noting it lacked significant elevation gain and would be a good place to take along the heavy tripod.
Yesterday I did just that.
And, this morning I ordered a new tripod.
Yay for lighterweight (and better) gear.
An HDR group consisting of 9 different exposures. The dynamic range in these canyons is sweeping. I love the contrast between the blue sky and the red rocks.

Lower Town
The spacious plateau between the mouth of the Rivers Sava and Danube and white lime ridge, after which Belgrade got its name, represents the Lower Town’s plateau. During the rule of despot Stefan Lazarevic, this area was fortified and urbanised. It stood for an economic, cultural and spiritual centre of the despotate.
Currently, the Lower Town represents a gathering place of athletes, nature lovers and a valuable archaeological site.

I liked this shop a lot better when it was Used Rubber. I think I even liked it better when it was Compound Records. Between the late, unlamented Future Primitive (and its successor, the post-ironically named Lower Hater) and Upper Playground, it's hard to say who did more to import a noxious Williamsburg vibe into my neighborhood.
