Deixalleria - 01.03.03
submitter: Frank Compernolle
location:Deixalleria Municipal, Calonge, Catalonia
Whith X'mas i was on a mattress hunt vacation in Catalonia. It is extremely difficult to catch wild street mattresses in this mediteranian state. They are all kept in so to say "deixalleries" (pronounce: desh-all-ya-ree-es), kind of street mattress zoos. Protected by a fence they are shown in a context that imitates quite well their natural biotope, close to what looks like a real street. They rarely procreate in captivity, though they really proliferate: I passed a few days later at the same spot, and there was already another herd of mattress. Proliferation without procreation, that's the paradox specialists try to resolve.

He stopped out of vanity

now that's what I call a wonderfull story. I agree with you that frank's pics were very special to say the least. Why has he stopped entering? do you now?

Frank lives now in Birmingham as an attaché for the Belgian Frenchspeaking community. He lives happy and enjoys life.

Adopted because Franks compositions were works of art, and not just snapshots.I wonder what became of him!(Wim?)
