October 2010 Photography assignment - What's in yr scrap bin/waste basket/junk drawer

'What is in your scrap bin' influenced by http://www.photography.ca/Forums/f22...html#post82815 I think it would be great to see how creative people can get with stuff that most of us would discard. I know it's early for the suggestion, but this idea seems just to good to forget.

I was about to remind you that it's only September 15th but then I saw your wonderful suggestion and agree that it sounds too good to forget. :)

It's an early idea, but i like it!

Wow, that would be a hard and BIG decision to make ;-)))). Very nice idea.

we're much closer to october now! gasp. obviously the trees turning fall colors is a classic theme. But how about pairing that with another subject - man made or natural?

Problem with a fall colour theme is the form is international some places it is spring.

Can I modify the idea a bit?
How about doing a What's in your waste basket? ie... recycled, junk, leftovers, garbage, type theme?
Just a thought.....:)

Ok everyone suggestion posts merged and the theme this month is What's in yr scrap bin/waste basket/junk drawer. The goal here is to see how creative people can get with stuff that most of us would discard.

Thx Greg for the wonderful suggestion.
Ok then who will post first?
thx - Marko

In honor of Greg I opened up my junk drawer. Here is a look of what's in there

So then I took out the box with the offering envelops, the eraser, the staple remover and the tweezers. The tweezers are used to give the offering envelopes a bit of a tilt, and the staple remover and the eraser became a symbolic thing: fangs and the monolith .... so here is

My (first) Offering

Did not think that a staple remover and an eraser would make such a ferocious sight:

Pulled out the magnifying glass, the stone - already had the staple remover. The latter became some sort of holder for the magnifying glass, and behind it was the stone. With a little light it became

An orbiting moon, perhaps?

With the stone still behind the magnifying glass, I noticed that this old scratched magnifier actually acted somewhat like a mirror. I do like reflections, but this is just not good:
