Paris Metro Trash is the result of 3 years of photographing trash cans in all of Paris’ 20 arrondissements around the immediate area of each Metro Station. Looking at what Parisian’s throw away provides insight into everyday cultural influences, what they eat, drink and smoke. Café is the second of three photos of the Coffee Culture series. Each of the 16 lines of the Paris metro are represented in this photo collage. I was once asked, after ordering a Café Creme after lunch, if I was having a second breakfast. It has taken some time for the American culture of coffee shops to invade Paris, reflected in the trash we find. A bold and vibrant print, mounted on 2mm dibond and just like the Paris trash cans, laminated with overlapping edges. Photographed, printed (on ilford paper with HP inks) and made in Paris (picto.fr). This photo has been mounted on an aluminium subframe; ready to hang as a standalone piece of art or as part of the Paris Metro Trash series of three photos. A special circular fisheye lens was used so that the photos you see are the photos that were taken. More than 3,000 photos have been taken, with each one being geotagged with the GPS coordinates, so I can map the location of each trash can you can find in this project.

I love all and any photography. I work as an architectural photographer by day, to fund projects that perhaps only I find interesting. After completing Paris Metro Trash in 2014, which took over 3 years to complete whilst also working full time, I decided to take it international and will complete the Hong Kong Metro Trash and Berlin Metro Trash Projects in 2016. I can't wait to see some the common cultural influences and differences between Asia and the West. It should also be fascinating to look at the differences between East and West Berlin by what they consume and discard on a daily basis.
