The Prettiest Dumpster In All Of Raleigh


I don’t know the history of this particular dumpster. I know it’s been here at least 2 years, but likely longer.

it’s the work of michael salter (www.copyrightsalter.com), who used to live on the block in a home designed by his wife, jill. he was involved with lump gallery (www.lumpgallery.com) until moving to oregon a few years ago. i believe his new blog can be found here: lumpwest.blogspot.com

…..my friend Bill Thelen always liked that dumpster. My website is http://www.michaelasalter.com, and the old copyright website comes up as porn, which isn’t all bad, but it’s not my site anymore.
