le promenade

will and i walked Champs-Elysees.
my continuation project has been photographing metro tickets.
while photographing them today, several thoughts occured....
1. i am capturing a disposable piece of someone's day...of where someone before me had traveled.
2. we were walking the around a tourist attraction, an upscale neighborhood, but i was kneeling on the ground photographing the absolute insignificant: trash.
3. people fold, roll, and crumple these tickets....leaving their mark behind on these small tickets.
4. my experience of the Champs-Elysees is not the expensive stores and highlife, but the little crumpled tickets blown into some obscure corner.
