Red Hook Plastic Beach, Part 3: Tire Nest

.

This is an unnamed area where industrial Red Hook land meets industrial New York Harbor water and combinations of natural and man-made objects combine to create devastating, yet beautiful patterns and color combinations.

Trash Art

I wonder if this painting from a Midtown garbage heap was used as a weapon for someone’s head to go through!

You know, like Terry Richardson’s or someone!

Maspeth Creek Disaster

At the dead end intersection of 58th Road & 47th Street in Maspeth, Queens, this is the water’s edge.

Behind a parking lot to a NYC DOT facility, I found this opening into one of the most heavily polluted areas in NYC.

The ground, air and water here have been devastated by years of environmental violations and neglect.

Anyone wanna go for a swim? Perhaps their final swim?

Business as usual…

It’s hard to imagine that to this day anyone is enforcing any EPA laws here.

This place could be beautiful if anyone decided to take care of it.

But then again, I suppose if it was beautiful here, am insanely rich mayor might allow greedy developers to build ugly ass condos that would be lived in by douche bag bankers from Jersey and Michigan.

Maybe this dump is paradise.

Welcome to Maspeth country.

Evolved Trash Vignettes

We stumbled upon some trash that appeared to be disintegrating and was interestingly vignetted on the sidewalk in a way that they take on a new portrait.

Now don’t get Freudian on me!

Junk Street: Wet Cardboard Edition

Where one man’s trash is another man’s blog post.

There’s a whole fucking ecosystem in there!
