These moments are shot blindly, photographing humanity flowing in the urban streams of Barcelona. The photographs are not required to be in focus necessarily, because not unlike our relationships to one another, they never seem clear as to what it means to share public spaces.
Hmm, last time I tried 900W, 3 minutes the potatomash was lukewarm and not completely heated. This time I set my microwave on 1000W and 4 minutes. Sizzle! The bottom came off and stuck to the bottom of the microwave tray. This packaging is also supposed to whistle, but in both instances I've heard nothing. I guess the sound of the microwave is louder than the whistle. Another great example of why I don't like microwave food. It's tricky to heat it all the way through properly. Home made mash is always nicer! This is the packaging upside down, so you can see the molten rim where the bottom used to be. I scraped that from the tray straight in the garbagebin.
This is a brand new product in the Netherlands with advertising currently running on television. In my book they're off to a bad start.

I just liked this blue in the middle of a white landscape. Unfortunately, it's only a garbage bin, not some object of great beauty! Kind of like the diagonal row of wooden logs, too, that I think lead you into the photo. Thanks for looking at my garbage bin!
New garbage bins on Heping Road come in "recyclable" and "non-reducible" flavors. Another improvement over "unrecycling."

Yep, that's the one! It crossed my path once, and both of us survived.
For my non-superstitious friends: as per Hindu beliefs, a black cat crossing your path is considered inauspicious or bad luck. This very black cat pictured above crossed my path a couple of months back. Nothing happened to me. The cat is actually a neighbourhood cat frequenting my parking area a lot, probably looking around for food. (Its standing above a garbage disposal bin here). Its not your friendly looking cat though, has mean eyes which I could not capture here, maybe some other time.
Ah, black cats have their own superstitions in various cultures. See: www.petloveshack.com/hallow.html
The new garbage containers aren't holding up well, are they?

I loved that there wasn't really any consistency in the logos used to represent non-recyclable garbage / waste on public trash bins.
This one's one of my faves. That symbol just really says to me, "REAAAAAALLLY not recyclable" goes here.
This was what I found on my bin lid when I left home in one of this Spring afternoons....
See what they looked like a couple of hours latter.
How can this happen? In a world where people cannot afford even fresh fruit for their families we have other people with items of value who no longer need or use them. They just end in the garbage bin or left gathering dust in the garage, basement or storage bin. Surely their are organizations of charities who can use situation to their advantage. Many people would probably happily donate their items to a good cause. I
