I saw this woman while driving. Pulled over asap, got my car LX1 and got the shot.

The poignancy of an Asian gal carrying garbage on a balanced pole (a method thousands of years old) in front of a contemporary rubbish truck got to me.

    Don't know she's Asian; have to struggle to see the balance pole. BUT ...Very nice image, simply for the juxtaposition of the truck with the Got Junk sign and the three bags being carried. Niceclap.gif

    And, if I may, I'd suggest this crop, as I find most of the rest of what's in the shot to be distracting, rather than adding to the composition...
