well at least future archaeologists & anthropologists will know that we were a proud people, too proud to pick up after ourselves, apparently. or rather not proud enough...or maybe the trash will be perceived as religious paraphernalia, encased in rock for preservation throughout time. damn, it's ugly.

anyway, cool images. didn't you just shoot a series of fire photos? [also cool] how do you find this stuff, or maybe more accurately, where do you find the time?

The fire was shot on St Paddy's, saw the glow from the distance while dropping a friend off at 3 AM, so I went to investigate (I had no class the next day). This sidewalk stuff, I saw it while on my break between classes, as it is right across the street from my linguistics class. The main thing is, I always have my camera on hand, as well as spare batteries and memory cards.

EvilG: yeah that helps...even though i have a [relatively] cheap little point and shoot, i still spent what amounts to a nice chunk'a change on it [for me] so for a long time didn't trust myself to cart the camera around, i'm just now getting over that.

what kind of camera do you use, just out of curiousity?

If you right-click any image in citynoise, then click properties, it will usually tell you the camera it was taken with. I am using a Fujifilm A510, which is basically a mid-range in the cheap point-and-shoot category. I have also used a Fujifilm A330 and a Kodak DC280. One day, I hope to afford a decent digital SLR camera, but it is out of reach for me at the moment.

PS - Cheap cameras are the best to carry everywhere, less worries that way.
