I took this heartbreaking photo in January 2009 while on location in Cozumel, photographing the devastating problem of plastic trash washing up on beaches in the Caribbean. The problem is no worse in Cozumel than any other island in the Caribbean. I just happen to love the island and visit often.
I am currently working on an multi-media creative project about the problem of plastics in the ocean. During the last week of January I spent several days photographing and collecting trash on the wild side of the island. At the end of the first day I decided to take a small car load of trash to the inland landfill and came upon this astonishing scene, one that very few happy island touristas are "privileged" to see.
