5 years ago, in my way to work, in front of a small bar in Moss, Norway. Probably it was one of few mornings that I could take my hands out of the jacket... most of the time it was super cold.
Ah, I like this a lot. Were these just being dumped out here or was it from people standing in the same spot smoking? If it was on your way to work, did you start mentally documenting how much the pile grew, stood still, or shrank?
I think it was morning cleaning... Norway is a really clean country... It doesn't have the NYC beauty trash all around... so probably it was the pile from the day before.
Cool! This and Moo's photo above really drive in globalization. Both photos have trash in them but if you looked just at the refuse you wouldn't be able to tell they were taken in Norway or Thailand. They could have easily been in Nebraska judging from the brands like DQ, Juicy Fruit, Marlboro, and Pepsi.
Really great photo. I love when ordinary things like dirty dishes or cigarette butts transcend their simplicity and become art.
Chinitas also gets the gold star for the first black and white photo posted up.
I agree with you... I love when people get to see small things as big things... it is just another point of view for what we think is normal... it is like the Academia post of J.Blanco... is it trash or is it art? In my personal opinion everything depends of the point of view...

About us:
We know many different types of people: Old and young. Some with background studies in the arts and others in the Sciences. Some may be self-taught tradesmen. Although they have divergent careers and very different upbringings, we've found that many have a common interest in photography.
We all love to press the shutter button, hear that tiny "click" and know that an image is made. Maybe it's a portrait, maybe a landscape, or maybe just a happy accident—the images taken are as different as the individuals that took them.
We formed Le Clique to bring together all of those different people, give them a forum to post their work, and enjoy the juxtapositions, harmony, and contrast between the things they love to photograph. Our contributors have two very simple rules: you must take the photo yourself and it must be for the simple joy of taking it.
