If on a Summer’s Day a Television
A city’s orphans are the furniture on its streets, left out for garbage or an enterprising upholsterer. San Francisco photographer Heather Champ examines her town’s left-behinds.
A note by Heather Champ about the gallery: San Francisco has a remarkable economy of curbside treasure. Items that one might find in dumpsters elsewhere are placed on the sidewalk for collection. Good thingswonderful thingswill find a second, third or fourth home, evaporating from view within minutes. More threadbare itemsthings that have already lived a number of liveswill also find a home. It might take a little while longer, but they too will vanish.
