Exploring Clutteropolis

[urbpan]

I went through several hundred photos just now, mostly from me and my dad's trips in 2001 and 2002.

My intention is to save a small number of them, and discard the rest. Of the ones I save I will probably select a few to share here and on facebook. The rest? I fantasize that I will leave them somewhere where an art student or compulsive archivist will find them, and give them a new life. Weird blurry faded old photos of a young man with a beard and an old man with an eyepatch, surrounded by palm trees, marine iguanas, and monkeys. Someone will treasure my discarded trash, right?

put 'em on freecycle?

I'll think about it, but I find that site to be a nest of flakes.

(not that I'm one to talk)

Oh, hey, that's a good idea: there's one across the street from my house!

I was going through some dunes of stuff yesterday and found a stash of old photos. A lot of them were just not that good, or there were doubles. Not sure why, but I don't like the idea of people I don't know having them so I threw a bunch of them away. (I waited for some pangs of regret, but they never materialized.)

Put them in an old library book for someone to find and wonder at. Or a time capsule!

Let the hemorrhaging of LJ friends be complete!

I like the time capsule idea. Maybe seal up a bunch in a PVC pipe and send it out to sea!

Release them to the wild:
