Noticed this scene today on a street.. Well, this is not a scavenger, it is a janitor, street cleaner. I just could not stop myself from joking. 'Omnia Mea mecum porto', as they said in Rome. Why does he carry a cardboard? Cause this person definitely scavenging it from the waste, and sells this wasted paper for some silly money. A lot of wasted cardboard saved eventually makes a sufficient extra to his low salary. I see same scenes on the streets from time to time, but never lucky enough to catch it, i.e. having my camera holstered or no camera at all... this time I was more or less quick enough to make two takes.
ps. added a pinch of x-processing to the image, to boost the poor lighting of the capture. How do you like the result?
