Rubbish photography, a waste of time.

Photo detail: Trash on the street, a lone figure walking by a pile of discarded litter, March 2019.

Prior to the image being taken it had/was a bit gusty, trying to pick the moment where the pedestrian walked past at the time the loose garbage was picked up and swirled in a mini cyclone just didn’t pan out. 5 minutes later the wind picked up again, but the moment had passed and an opportunity missed.
