TITLE: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Taken in a facility for recycling paper. I've contrasted the white of the paper with the darkness of the surroundings and the machinery; the promise of being pure white and clean again, is in the paper - it only needs to be recycled. The stacked piles of shredded paper, have a artistic beauty for me in themselves; they're both regular yet somehow not, they have form, yet flow a little.

I have been taking pictures (as an amateur) since 1968 when I bought my first Diana camera with my pocket money. After having owned other film cameras, I graduated to purely digital photography in 2007. I've come to realize that I tend to think very graphically, as a person - I read and write well but prefer seeing the "whole picture" so-to-speak; maybe this is why photography attracts me so much. I like doing street photography as it enables me to interact with people. I do however, also dabble in "miscellaneous" picture-making such as Landscapes, Conceptual or Abstract styles. Usually, I am opportunistic in my approach and take the picture if I like it visually in the instant; almost a spur-of-the-moment thing.
