Dad's Garage
Nearly two years after my father's death, my mother agreed to clear out one of his favourite hiding places. His garage. For as long as I remember he would be in there puttering around, enjoying the occasional cigarette. It took my brother and me a couple of days to clear it out. There was nearly a ton of material. Mostly scraps of wood, metal pipes, boxes of rusty hardware and old furniture. 50 years worth of stuff, that my father saved for one of those, just in case I need this moments. The following images serve as a record of my father's treasures and as a reminder to myself to keep an eye on what goes into my garage.
