The Beauty of a Dumpster

One thing I've learned about this world is that beauty isn't always where you'd expect it to be. I love finding examples of such things. It's like hope in a world of gloom. Kind of like a baby born in a run down barn or something. Anyway, whenever I can find examples, I like to take a snapshot. Here are some images that I think are beautiful, and yet they are all part of a dumpster, which is really rather ugly.

What do you think?

Does anyone have any other examples they would like to share?

It's a Nikon D100, which is expensive, but takes a picture like a real camera and can use real camera's lenses, so if you're going to take digital shots, it's worth saving for.

When I have the time and money and when it's a really important shot, I use a medium format Mamiya 645 AF . . . I love the crispness of the shots, but it costs a whole lot to develop the film and buy the film.

I liked your little discussion of beauty in the ugly. I think that there is beauty in everything and everyone. Sometimes you have to look harder than others, but if you care about it, you can find it.

I gotta agree with Collin. I know it's true because once I even saw beauty in The Look Machine

How could you look at me and not see beauty? A total impossibility!

I don't know what they're talking about Ian cause I find you very attractive.
