    Surprisingly on Friday night they did Susan.

    I was more surprised when the announcer used the exact words describing it as I had used in the email to them

    Congratulations! Now you have achieved your goal to be an established and published rubbish photographer, what is your project? Just curious...

    I hope people will take notice of you now more than ever and contact you for paid commercials. Can you just imagine having a wedding in that place with all the rubbish? NOT!!!

    Thank you Izzie.

    Some time ago I got a bit fed up with just taking 'pretty pictures' because it's just too easy here so tried to take some images that were relevant to environmental and social issues. My 'rubbish project' is the latest and the biggest challenge is finding a scene where you can show both the beauty and filth together.

    Fortunately all the holiday spots are well looked after because they are away from the main towns.

    Cool, they used it! That's great. It's pretty disheartening to know every piece of plastic made still exists, (some in a rather degraded form), and that each of us have contributed to that mess. I wouldn't mind coming to Fiji to help clean it up ;-)

    I was going to suggest just that. As an image showing what we have and what we stand to lose, this hits the nail. I wouldn't crop it. The more you show of the rubbish, the stronger the message.
