This is an ongoing study of discarded umbrellas. Twice a week I share a picture of an umbrella that was murdered, massacred, dismembered, or simply tossed aside. Some umbrellas look like bizarre mantis-like insects, while others are good as new. Like the images taken for my Abandoned Baby Carriages series I think that the throw-away nature of umbrellas is symptomatic of a small yet conspicuously profligate wastefulness of society. Check back every Tuesday and Friday for a new umbrella.
