I find rubbish beautiful, disturbing, and worth getting close to. Over the years, I've taken hundreds of photos of trash, mostly in the Mission neighborhood in San Francisco, where I lived and roamed for many years. The Mission was the holy grail for trash lovers.  I never staged my shots. I preferred to move in closer to the subject instead, twisting and arching my body until I found just the right angle to capture the beauty in the mundane. I imagine the story of how the trash got to be there. Where it came from. Who left it. Where it will go next.
