Waste Not

These pictures are images from a few days outings at a “junkyard,” or more appropriately, a recycling center. The owner of this facility Jeff has graciously let me roam freely to take photos anywhere I choose. I love the possibilities of junk. One mans junk is another man’s treasure.” This place It is truly a visual treasure for me. I plan on going back again as soon as possible. Anyway here are a few picture from, “Jeff's Auto Body & Recycling Center.”
