'ephemeralicious'

this group serves as a repository for your finest ephemera.

your pictures of - doors, windows, litter, objets trouves, cans, signage, discarded objects, found objects, toys, curios, bins, gew gaws, oddities, dolls, pipes, rusted metal, flotsam, jetsam, keepsakes, broken objects. anything that falls within that curious but compelling multiplicity of things labelled 'ephemera'.

be literal, representational, abstract, serious, glib, careless, honest, duplicitous.

above all, be creative.

ephemera.

why do we love it? are we collectors? do we ultimately fear death, and so subconsciously counter this fear with our vast pictorial collections of 'ephemera'? a means of reminding ourselves that we are surrounded by the world, and are thus [for the time being] safe.

[please don't furnish me with the literal meaning of 'ephemera'. i am well aware it refers almost specifically to printed matter. the definition of ephemera with regard to this group is widely accepted colloquially - in fact, being digital simulacrums of the physical photograph, the literal meaning can indeed be applied with respect to the submissions the group receives]
