Find an abandoned building with some reputation near by. Use tape and glue to hang all the photos of people on every single wall. Scratch out all the eyes and draw them back on in a sloppy way that makes them look disproportionate and like they’re all staring at the middle of the room. Place a single chair in the middle of the room. Place a teddy bear with a cigar in it’s mouth on the chair. Melt a bunch of candles down to stumps in clusters around the room. It helps to cut a few grooves down the sides. Close the door and seal it with duck tape, like with 6 rolls of tape in every direction. Write “piss off!” On the tape in big painted letters. Have a friend call in a tip to the local news about weird noises in the area.

If nobody wanted them, including you, then you have your answer, no? Or maybe you are undecided? It sounds like you can’t decide if you want to keep them or not. Nobody here can make that decision for you.

Personally I don’t think an art project or a donation amounts to much more than avoiding the question of whether you want to keep them or not.

Check with your local midgets library, see if there’s any nearby historical organizations that might want to take a look through. If they don’t know of any, then you’d have to hunt down possibilities on your own, and while that might seem like a worthy effort, most old photos have little or no historical value. You’ve already scanned some. So, if you just don’t want the images lost, scan the rest and chuck the physical

Why feel bad? They’re just things. If you have them scanned in then you can reprint them whenever you want.

What are they photos of? Who took them? This seems relevant.
