I live in a huge upscale apartment complex in Los Angeles. Tenants and guests often toss their trash in the parking lots or near the buildings. This is called littering.
With my camera I turn that litter into art.
The local littering occurred over several months and I photographed it when taking my daily walk.
No, I do not live in a slum but often, due to littering, it looked like one. See for yourself ...
