Mummer's costume, abandoned on Washington Ave in Philly, BEFORE the New Year's parade (that stain on sidewalk is sort of disturbing, no?); click to enlarge:

ODD PAINTINGS
By someone named D Vacek. Found together in someone's garbage. If I were to title them, it think it would be Pole Vault from Hell or Hades Rugby Goalpost. Acrylic on canvas; click images below to enlarge:

VERY LARGE PAINT JOB
A very large painting of a flower vase found on sidewalk. Sorry, it's so large & unwieldy I didn't feel like moving it around or getting the other crap out of the way. I'm pretty sure it's painted on a piece of textured drop-ceiling tile; the paint is peeling off quite badly. Click image to enlarge:

WORLDLY POSSESSIONS
Beseler 23C enlarger. I have printed thousands of prints on this. It was literally waiting on the curbside on garbage day a few years ago -- I guess someone had decided to "go digital":

Not sure if I'm cheating with this one or not, but this Baby Brownie Special camera was found after a flea market (today at Renninger's in Adamstown, PA)...somebody had apparently dropped it on the ground in the parking lot when they were leaving. Click image to enlarge:

THE PHO CALL TO NAM
Vietnam prepaid phone card found on sidewalk. Reason I included this one is because I think it's a Vietnamese pun: "Pho" is a kind of noodle soup, as seen in the picture; "The Pho" (I think) is supposed to sound like "telephone." Or something like that:

CUDDLY POOP & ELMO
Mr Hankey the Christmas Poo doll, complete with his official South Park documentation. And, just like the character he's based on in the show, this doll was found in the gutter, all wet & covered with slime. Yucko:

CRIME SCENES
A couple of "crime scene" photos. Perpetrators probably smashed car windows, stole purses, removed credit cards, cash & drugs from the purses, then tossed unwanted remains onto sidewalk (makeup, tampons, Q-Tips, etc.):

EDUCATIONAL ACTION FIGURES
Rather large, rubbery dinosaur doll. Interestingly, he's been designed with a hole on his tail near his rump to expose the underlying bone structure. Why they chose his rear end is beyond me:
