Junk

I think that everyone should traipse through a junkyard at least once in their life.

I think junkyards are a wonderful place to find memories. You are probably thinking to yourself, "Is she nuts? Trash?" YES!


There is a junkyard on the other side of a neighboring town that I love to visit. I love to go and pull out things for set pieces or props, but also, I just like to look. At this junkyard you can find barber chairs, pianos, cars, tractors, chairs, tables, doors, books...anything. Its like walking into the pages of someone else's photo album.


Look to the left and see a barber chair where woman have gossiped or men have smoked cigars and talked about their wives.


To the right, a piano, keys broke from someone playing glorious melodies in the sanctuary of a church for too many years.


Straight ahead....the VW van. This van is adorned with peace signs and Grateful Dead stickers. Inside, old photographs and a "Save the Earth" trash can.


All of these objects are filled with someone else's memories, left out in the rain for all to see.
