My current aluminum can supply is far exceeding my pace of converting cans to photographic images. I find cans along the roads and paths during lunch walks. I am looking for 24 ounce or larger cans that have not been dented. My suppliers are mostly the homeless that live along the railroad tracks or under the bridges in Renton. I have learned where the drinking spots are and return often to replenish my supply.
Me Picking Cans with my Artist Stick (2012)
This summer I have picked up about 30 cans each week. That is well over 1,000 per year.
In a productive week I convert about 15 to photographs. More typically, it is 5 to 10 so my supply is growing. This is a good thing because the cans are harder to find in the winter and I have more time to make them into art.
