A Daily Collection of Garbage Washed Ashore on New York's Southampton Beach
the beautiful beach
WELCOME
When I am out in Southampton, every morning I take a walk on the beach. Last year, I started picking up trash, and this year I am posting these photos in order to share them with you.
Picking up trash has been enlightening and gratifying. I am heartened by President Obama's call for volunteerism and I hope to inspire others to clean up their beaches and neighborhoods.
