In an attempt to capture the macro impact of pollution while taking images of the seemingly microscopic pieces of trash we see in our daily lives, I position my camera on the level of, or below the subject, giving the illusion that the object is larger than it is. This close-up look represents the large impact of the little things.

The images that contained red were edited to be more vibrant, like a mark made permanently on the ground, an impact. It was a struggle trying to capture such small things as I had to get on the ground with my camera, but well worth the trouble. 

Another goal of this project was to create a diverse range of colors and subject matter. Despite this broad range, all these photos were taken on one street in Brooklyn, and there is much more where these came from.
