"human"

Orchard Beach, Bronx, NY

Note: This garbage was photographed by mounds of melting snow that had been removed from Bronx streets and dumped in Orchard Beach's parking lot. Guess snow removal crews were plowing more than snow during the winter storms! Also, I tore off a section of a Simplehuman® box to add the word "human" to the photo since this appears to be our footprint and legacy. Ironically this nearby box was for a stainless steel trash receptacle! I also moved a piece of plastic insulator under the tan double squares to create an exasperated face.

I guess instead of a collage this is a déchetage or something. Fine work; the frame is a really nice touch, too.

There is a tremendous amount of garbage under the snow.

Thank you John, Don, and Esther! Yes, there's so much garbage under the snow that I'll never view plowing the same way -- that only snow is being cleared from the streets.

We can talk about recycling til we are blue in the face --- fact remains there are so many who flat out do not care ---- this photo is an exclamation point to 'I don't care' !

Not very complimentary to think of oneself as human when this is what it all too often means.

I would hope not. At least, even though it's hard to imagine, we're doing better than our ancestors in the 19th century when at times garbage in the streets was knee high!
