dump diary

Marketing departments spend money to bring products to market. They have art and packaging designed to appeal to consumers. When products fail, or simply fade away they are often forgotten. Sometimes, they are left for decades in a corner of some basement or warehouse until someone decides its time to get rid of them. This is where urban archaeologists like me come into the picture. I try my best to capture the art and history one last time before they are gone forever. Enjoy!
