Ah, the detritus of consumerism. I thought about shooting pretty lights but, in the end, as I was walking this morning, this came to me as the most common sight of the immediate post-holiday season.



As always, comments and critiques are welcome and appreciated.

Thanks for looking.

I am jealous of your neighbor

Nice shot!

A great variation on the theme and B&W is definitely fitting for this image.

Thanks for the nice comments, Tom and John. I thought it was a fun idea.

(BTW, I have to admit that was my trash pile. I thought the neighbors would look at my kind of weird if I shot THEIR trash.)

Now there's a cynical take on "Holidays", Tom! Seriously, it's a fine shot. The B & W tone is great and it really tells a story.

Happy New Year!

Thanks, Jouko and Endre. I live in consumerist hell here in suburbia where there is apparently nothing to do but shop. Stacks and stacks of garbage tell the post-Xmas story here.

Happy New Year everyone!

Tom:

A real statement. Don't they have paper/cardboard recycling in your area?

BTW, I too am jealous--not of your neighbour--but of your lack of snow.

Well done!

Possibly the most original thought I saw all week long. I salute you.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Excellent idea. Too bad there is not a discarded Christmas tree.

Thanks, Steve, Rich, Peled, and Elton.

Unfortunately, recycling leaves a lot to be desired in Katy, Texas. We are in the land of consumption, not preservation, here. I had thought about trying to find a Xmas tree in a pile but my scouting trip turned up largely empty. Most people around here seem to use artificial trees.

Thanks again for the nice comments.

"We are in the land of consumption"

Boy, how true. Good photo idea.
