"The tire dump" Pen and ink on 2 sketch book pages.
Tires pose an enormous environmental problem. as I doodled down this idea - meant to be in the context of a larger work about the environment, I couldn't help but find it fascinating...and almost pretty....at least visually.
My first submission - thanks for looking!
Despite a big red sign stating fines for illegal dumping, it is ignored. This this done out of spite?
This classic Chevy Dump truck (1 ton?) is still in decent shape and in commercial use by a roofing contractor out of Bessemer, MI. With all the looks of a staged photo, this is just how I found it, parked in front of the Gogebic County Courthouse on a fine fall day. The courthouse was getting a new roof but on this Sunday it was all quiet. October 11, 2009.
The boat has been here for at least a month.

FinePix F100fd with sunglasses
F100fd にサングラスを被せて撮ってみました。
I covered F100fd with sunglasses and took it.
A massive 60 shot upload to keep you all occupied for the next week or so whilst I nip out and take a few more shots.
Please pace yourself, I don't want any complains of Repetative Shot Syndrome...
I'll be adding individual titles and details of what you are looking at (assuming you are bothering to look) as and when I get time. Although I'm not always sure what I'm looking at as, despite several visits to Skye over the years, this is the first time I've actually managed to see the view!
Given the depth of field, these really need to be seen at bigger than screen size, but this will have to do for now.
By far one of the harshest things I've ever experienced. I had to clear the photos because the smoke was so intense from the burning garbage. Thousands of people live in this dump and live off what they find.
It never ends - this is all the drywall that had to be torn off to make room for shear wall requirements
As I said before, I ran out of sand. When I got it before, I got the sand, I picked it up using my fathers dump trailer. As it turns out, the sand was to heavy and I ended up having to unload most of it by hand.
I really did not want to do that again. To be honest, I am getting tired and cold:) and I have a torn shoulder that is awaiting a second surgery.
So, anyway, I convinced my wife to separate with the extra bit of money so we could pay to have the company deliver it. It was absolutely worth it to me!!! Thank you so much HAT CREEK CONSTRUCTION. They gave me a great deal and have always been kind!
As a bonus I got to see some machinery at work. I love big machines!

Subject : Metal grill dumped in Old Well - corner Philip Lane N15 & High Road, Tottenham.
Please see my two photos taken on Saturday 12 May 2012 and posted on Flickr. They show a metal grill which has been dumped in the Old Well at the corner of Philip Lane and High Road, Tottenham.
I couldn't spot where the grill had been taken from.
Can you please pass this to the staff responsible for looking after the Old Well. Thanks.

“It is impossible to change waste practices without implicating the self in a process of reflexivity, without asking people to implicitly or explicitly think about the way they live”
Infinite abundance is an illusion that remains central to expectations of choice in today's consumer culture. The market forces that wish to keep us shopping perpetuate this illusion but it is also an illusion in which we ascribe to, aiding in its perception. Cleanliness and beauty have been foregrounded as contemporary necessities and help to maintain the illusion of abundance. Modern society relies upon a contrived outlook of the world in which we constantly try to impose aesthetic order in every aspect of our lives. This requires us to throw things out so as to achieve such a sense of order, as Mary Douglas writes in Purity and Danger,
“Where there is dirt there is system. Dirt is the by-product of a systematic ordering and classification of matter, in so far as ordering involves rejecting inappropriate elements.'
Random buckets... probably full of hazmat.

Day 2 of Fuji X-E1 ownership, this time some daylight to work with... However my time was a little limited...
Short alleyway linking Carew Road and Dowsett Road, Tottenham. On 21 August 2014 there were three separate piles of remarkably manky rubbish.
One next to the bright yellow "No Dumping" sign and another two at either end of the alley.
Oh, yes. And there was also an improvised litter "bin" in a hole in one of the fences.
