Description
Anyone who knows me understands I have a tendency, (perhaps an obsession) with collecting things. Recently, I've begun to desire a more clutter-free existence. As a ritualistic exercise towards this end, I invented "Giveaways". It was a very simple process. I took an item outside. I found a suitable place. I put it down. Marked the location. Photographed it. Then came back, every day, until it was gone. I then took a photograph of the same location, "minus" the object. These images, then, as documentation of this process, are the final product.
