Dumpster-Diving Photography

'Rubbish' From Diver and Aguilar Peeks Inside Garbage Bags

'Rubbish' from Diver and Aguilar is a fantastic album of trashtastic photos from various garbage bags. The photos are exquisitely done and manage to add some amazing dynamism to simple bags full of trash.

The pictures show a diversification of random objects, from beautiful costume jewelry to creepy clown masks. 'Rubbish' from Diver and Aguilar is definitely interesting. I guess what they say is true: one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Implications - While trash was once considered a very dirty thing, the old expression "one man's trash is another man's treasure" has really been proven to be true within this recession period. Companies should embrace "upcycling" -- the process of taking old products and transforming them into something new.
