There's always someone else...

There's always someone else...
...who cleans the mess. And if not, then it will anyway become subjectively irrelevant within hundred years.

Well, some peeps have always carelessly tossed the garbage where ever they like.

Je suis toujours très étonnée, alors que la poubelle n'est qu'à quelques mètres, que les gens jettent leur papier par terre. J'appelle ça de la simplicité imbécile.
Parfois j'aimerai que quelqu'un m'explique pourquoi ils font ça, pour quelles raisons, mais jamais personne n'a jamais répondu...... c'est tellement dommage pour la terre et pour le bien être de tous de ne pas faire ce petit effort.....;oui.........vraiment dommage

Well, I've been reading Susan Sontag's "On photography", and she more or less claims people usually only photograph "beauty", and if they don't, then it is merely a documentary. But that was in 1970s. I suppose one can shoot something utterly distasteful, and not even try to make any statement, like I did here. So, question is: How to picture something ugly, but not to make it look beautiful, and still make it look attractive?

Actually I think it is not that bad this year. Too little snow to hide the litter =D

Sami, I like the way you just take a photo of anything. I am glad you don't care about making everything pretty! When I was still painting, I thought the "meaning" is not my responsibility, it's up to the viewer. (This saves me from having to explain things - haha!)

Thank you Diane. I usually do not the change the scene in any way, when I'm shooting out of the streets. Only at home I do some settings. And I surely photograph just anything what I find out interesting, no matter how pretty of ugly it may look. I of course do have some limits. I usually don't photograph people, because I don't want make anyone look ridiculous. And if something is really really bad taste, like shooting feces without any obvious reason, then there I draw the line. But if I would see a poop in very obscure place, then I would probably photograph even that. But carefully first consider before publishing the shot.

Life is interesting in all forms of it.
