this might all look like garbage to you, but the boxes are actually litter.
Mr. Fisher and I have been hard at work on an epic documentary on the underground economy of cardboard recyclers. It should be finished in two weeks, mostly because I’m working on a photoshoot in a new position of responsibility. I don’t wanna say I don’t know what I’m doing, because my boss reads my blog. So let’s say I’m operating at high RPM but not redlining.
Mr. Fisher is doing excellent editing. I just need to record a little voice over that tells us why guys from El Salvador come north and end up combing the streets of San Francisco in a symbiotic relationship with small business owners and yet at odds with city officials and the local trash service.
This city is alive. My toenails stink when I clip them off. See if you can figure out how to make that into an analogy for what I’ve already said.
there is a guy here in mexico that collects cans, bags upon bags heaped in the back of his pick-up. he flattens the cans to make more room. more room, more cans per trip, less trips, less gas…you get the picture….but the way he flattens the cans is pure genius, pure mexican moxie… just before rush hour (around 4 pm when everyone returns to work after siesta) he spreads bag upon bag of cans across a busy cobblestone street! pancake! workin’ together!
