Photographer's Note
While working I saw this moment when the light was creating graphic effects in the shapes of these cheap plastic vases.
I remember when I was a little boy and plastic wasn't a so usual product, when paper, metal, timber, glass and fabric were used in most of the products. Suddenly, in few years, this cheap and flexible material invaded our lives and we are attached with it as a vicious, spoiling the environment. Despite the publicity to avoid plastic, people only will stop using it when a cheap, versatile and similar material will be created. For most of people their own confort is much more important than nature.

Enquanto trabalhava notei que a luz fazia arte com as formas desses vasos de plástico baratos.
Me lembro quando era um garotinho e o uso de plástico era bem raro, quando papel, metal , pano, madeira e vidro serviam para fazer quase tudo. Repentinamente o plástico invadiu nossas vidas e tornou-se um vício, estragando nosso meio ambiente. Apesar da publicidade e dos apelos, a maior parte das pessoas jamais abandonará o uso desse material enquanto outro parecido e barato não for criado. As pessoas estão mais preocupadas com seu próprio conforto do que com a natureza.

Hi Jorge,
My first impression, I tought the photo was related to electricty connector on a pylone. The point of view is showing the details of of the plastic vases. There is a good contrast between the colors of the picture. Have a nice day.

Hello Jorge,
These partly lit vases make very interesting shapes and the contrasts couldn't be better! It's a well seen, well photographed moment.
Your words are so true!
Plastic rules!
In our new community shop, we only sell milk in glass bottles, which are returnable and many products are dispensed (as much as you need) into brown paper bags.
Many products are from eco friendly producers.
We just need the big supermarkets to follow suit. At least plastic carrier bags have been substantially reduced, now they have to be paid for!
Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

Hello Jorge, a very interesting presentation with thought provoking notes.
The close up is very effective, I would not have known exactly what the objects were without your note.
It looks almost monochrome, Ihad to check that it was actually colour.
Kind regards,Jean.

Hi Jorge
You've created a great abstract photo with all this plastic stuff. I don't suppose that they are even recyclable?
cheers

Hello Jorge,
Almost a b&w shot with just a hint of colour here and there. Superb graphism and punchy light contrasts. Nice repetition of patterns and shapes and te shallow dof works well too. Tfs!
