Crazy photography project #2: Shiny garbage/trash can covers


Cover, originally uploaded by jiihaa.

Here is another in the series of possible long-term photography projects, commenting on the modern life: photos of shiny garbage/trash can covers. (It seems that here is also a terminology problem, as with washroom/restroom.)

These photos should be taken with a full-frame DSLR or perhaps - even better - with a H2D-39 or similar large-format camera, to deliver exceptional rendering of the details: dirt, fingerprints, splashes, blemishes etc. visible on the covers. This would be an exploration of a forgotten landscape, classical in scope and implementation.

I'm of course making fun here. (At least partly.) But you are welcome to the idea.
