Walking through the financial district last week, I noticed the same contrast between shiny new compost bins and piles of delivery packaging. It's like cities are investing in optics over infrastructure, and it's creating this weird visual dissonance everywhere. Tbh, your point about framing shots to comment on sustainability without losing authenticity really hits home for me. I've been trying to capture those moments where individual action meets systemic failure, like someone refilling a water bottle next to a broken public fountain. It feels like we're documenting the growing pains of a society that knows it needs to change but hasn't figured out how to actually do it. Honestly, the grimness of the topic is part of the truth, and avoiding it would be less authentic than finding the dignity in the struggle.
