Making his way through a back alley on his bike, he saw beautiful photos dumped in the trash behind travel agency. It seems the agency was using original signed HCB photos illustrate Europe. Being of no value, the agency just dumped the pics after the exhibit. Needless to say, he had some difficulty riding the bike with all the pics, but he made it home. one man's trash is another's treasure. Stephen Gandy
