Challenge 13 was to photograph the "not-so-nice" side of life. The challenge was to photograph something ugly.
I choose to photograph the bulk household waste. Every year our local council offers a bulk household waste pick-up. The pick-up starts in late May and runs for 6 weeks. Now, the idea is that each suburb in the Port Stephens council has a set week in which to put out their waste. A flyer in the mailbox notifies each suburb of their pick up week. In concept, you'd put your waste out on Sunday and it will be picked up during the week. In truth, no one follows the flyers that we have gotten. Our neighborhood wasn't supposed to put the waste out until the 27th of June. Some people have had theirs sitting out for weeks! Now, the other problem is what people call waste. There are so many table and chair sets outside. Yes, one of the four chairs is broken. Why not donate the other three and the table to the Salvation Army? People also use this time to scavenge through the bulk waste. Ugh. I am glad that this will all be done soon!
