🎨 Driftwood & Trash Sculptures at an Abandoned Landfill on the San Francisco Bay 🌊

I first noticed the Albany Bulb in the late 90's on a walk. By the time I discovered it, it'd been an outsider village for nearly twenty years.

Since then it's continued to evolve as an ever-changing space where people express themselves through art installations created with found objects.

The peninsula, jetting out a mile into the San Francisco Bay, was formed by the dumping of industrial waste.

In the 1980’s "Save the Bay" efforts put an end to the dumping, so the landfill was shut down. That's when the first people of the outsider village saw its potential. For over two decades they built houses, a castle, and art installations with all the trash they found laying around.

There's a great documentary, Bum's Paradise, that's written and narrated by Rabbit, one of the philosophical residents of the original village.

The film gives you a glimpse, from the perspective of someone who lives there, into the lives of the people on the peninsula, many of them who felt they didn't fit into mainstream society. It also shows the forceful removal of their community in 1999.

Some of the earlier sculptures, like the ones created by Osha Neumann, an attorney and social justice activist, are still there today, but none of the houses or art from the original outsider village remains. The castle is now a pile of concrete canvases full of colorful paintings.

The people's spirit lives on though. That's why the land continues to be infused with energy that inspires us to play, create, and ask questions about the way we live..

A non-profit organization, @lovethebulb, aims to preserve the Albany Bulb as a unique Bay Area creative space and park. They've started a native garden and they're hosting all kinds of events and workshops.

You will be missed by every person who was lucky enough to meet you, Laura.

@laurahamesfranklin was one of the first friends I made when I moved to NYC in February 2004. We taught ballet together and cleaned the studios to be able to take as many ballet & yoga classes as we wanted. She was passionate about dance and health. She would often be frustrated that words seemed to fail her because she thought in images and movement rather than words.
She was a wonderful example of how to live a full and vibrant life in NYC, making her dreams come true, and keeping a pure and generous heart and playful spirit, no matter what.
We became close friends, regularly having sleep-overs and house parties, delicious home cooked meals and unforgettable get-a-ways to the Catskills and Fire Island that usually included dancing in the woods in the moonlight or skinny dipping in the ocean.

This first photo was years later when I had moved to Mexico and was back in NYC just to shoot a film and on my day off, Laura accompanied me to pick out my wedding dress. The dresses quickly became the least important part of that day, and what I remember most was laughing and talking the whole afternoon. It was such a fun and happy day. She told me how happy she was in her marriage with Eric and all their plans and travels. I never would have guessed that was the last day we would spend together in person.
I have no eloquent words yet to share my grief. It has barely even begun to sink in, I don't yet believe it.
I can hear your voice, I can see your smile and your twinkling eyes perfectly, I can imagine you so clearly right here beside me.
My young, healthy -perhaps my healthiest- friend is no longer here. But you never were made for this earth. I hope your spirit is twirling and dancing in even more wonderous ways than your body could allow.
My deepest sympathy to @ericnoelfranklin . Thank you for all the joy and adventures and love you shared these past 10 years! She loved you very much!
And to her mother @barbarahames I am so sorry for your loss. I am so grateful you were able to be with her.
I hope her father and brother find solace. Love to you all.
✨
