Trash, Nassau, Bahammas - 2008

We were walking around in Nassau in the Bahamas and we passed this garbage lying on the ground. Melissa was already fed up with me slowing down the hike with my "looking for the shot". I actually went back to take this, got the shot and then saw the rest of the family waiting for me at the street corner. I love black and white photography. Taking out the color forces me to look at the subject and not be influenced by the colors. This picture tells a story. The headline is sad and pulls emotions out of the viewer.
