This was just one of the many parking lots surrounding the historic Yale Bowl in New Haven, CT. This shot is common post-game scenery for "fans" walking back to their cars. Makes you wonder whether the game itself has become secondary to the party before-during-and after. As a boy, I'm not sure my Grandfather would have taken me to as many games as he did knowing he'd be exposing me to this type of atmosphere. I brought my teenage son on this day (Yale hoodie) and he seemed somewhat shocked by it all. We did, however, see a great game and enjoyed a good father and son kind of time.

I'm taken with the color you left in here in the garbage and the "Yale" logo. It really points up the mess that ppl leave behind when they attend functions such as this.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

Very interesting. It looks great with the colorization of the trash, and the Yale logo. For an Ivy League event, you would think the tailgaters would have more brains than to leave the lot looking like this.

very nice, i love the coloured rubbish among the black and white to point out how people dont respect functions and such. Very nice to see.

Thanks for sharing

Is a interesting capture and like the way you left some colour in this to make it pop.
