Repaired Things

After reading an article in the Boston Globe titled "The Duct Tape Economy", about how repair and maintenance businesses have started thriving as a result of the recession, I began collecting pictures of things that have been repaired, and have organized them as a blog. I have taken some of these photos, but most were sent to me by other people.

I see these repairs as small acts of creativity and resourcefulness and gestures of self-sufficiency. They are often surprisingly beautiful as well.
