Raining At The Dump Day 6

Today I climbed up on top of the garbage in the rain to shoot down on people who were scavenging for recyclables, there were also garbage tucks and a grader pushing a path through the garbage. I think I am getting more used to all of this as I did not hesitate to climb up the steaming 8 foot mound of waste to get a better angle for my pictures. The one thing you have to watch out for is that you feet sink deeper into the fresh garbage as its not packed down very well. The light and the rain limited what I could do with the 4x5 today, thou I might have gotten some good 35mm shots. I have around 100 sheets of 4x5 left and 14 or so rolls of 35.
