🍺 Beer Cans

900 cans emptied, photographed and documented — and every so often stacked into a pyramid.

The Beer Can section is a virtual homage to the American beer-can collecting craze of the 1970s. The rise of thousands of microbreweries has made 'dump scouring' — digging for old beer cans in the woods and abandoned campgrounds — a thing of the past. The thousands of young men who could pick up a can in any vacant lot when the hobby was at its zenith in the 1970s have grown up, but fortunately may now find hundreds of colorful cans (full of good brew) within mere miles of their homes.
