Surrealist Scrapbooking

This is the most powerful image in my thrift shop collection of abandoned images. I remember snatching it so fast from a stack of images in a Kansas City flea market booth that I nearly ripped it. Sometimes I like to convince myself the hunchy man on the left with the camera or binoculars on his arm is Dwight Eisenhower or Bob Hope. 

photographing photographs

I have a folder full of artworks/artists' files....and most of them are photographs of photographs. 

If I were an art collector, I think this would be my specialty.

It's been a long time so, I thought I would post something.
Found in my grandfather's photograph box.

my collection of characters

So, I buy a lot of stuff at thrift stores....Some might consider it a problem...

Over the past year, I've purchased a lot of stuff, including a lot of photographs. Many of which, I don't necessarily plan to include in my artwork but instead hang on my walls, store away for later, or use for inspiration. Anyway, while doing some organizing today, I realized they were worth posting.
They are indeed a quite nice little collection of characters....
