pack rack

Beach-found, driftwood rack made in 2006. I shot this in Oct 2006. It’s the east wall of my bedroom. The sun was setting and projecting thru the window on the west wall, framing my packs nicely.

I nearly always carry a pack. Probably not too sophisticated, but I guess I’m too old to know better. (But I am young enough that NONE of them have wheels!) This is only a portion of my inadvertent lifelong collection of packs and cargo bags, but these have been frequent friends, in one function or another. They’ve each got a zillion stories to tell about backpacking, hiking, mtn biking, lust, longing, solitude, sweat, trips to the market, traveling, kids, and more.

I found this wonderful 9 ft scruffy red board that had washed up on the beach. I had a long piece of bamboo I’d also found at the beach. I got this "rack" idea as a way to honor some of my packs and decorate my wall. The bamboo pegs are progressive: smallest on the left, thickest on the right. Also, the smaller ones are spaced a tad closer (getting progressively further apart as they get larger) for a nice optical balance.

BTW…it’s not an optical illusion — the ceiling really slopes. It’s a cool, one-of-a-kind house with some wacky details, such as every room has a ceiling at a different (and varying) height. Very fun.
