One Man's Trash: Photographer Documents The Things We Throw Away
A photographer has created a fascinating photo series by waiting around at a rubbish dump.
Sebastian Magnani wanted to document our relationship with material items - particularly what we consider disposable items.
He decided to snap visitors to Zurich's waste and recycling centre as they dropped off unwanted items.
His pictures show a steady stream of men, women and children carrying goods ranging from ski boots to a sledge.
Sebastian explains: "I shot the people who came in their cars and asked the workers where they need to trash her stuff.
"I asked them for a quick photo and for each picture I had maybe 10 Seconds. There was a long snake of people trashing their stuff.
"Most of the items were still working. Of course, items like the fire extinguisher were finished and the TV was retro and old.
"But, the boy with the sledge, that still works! Also, the books, the crate, the ironing board for the clothes; all working.
"People seemed at ease with disposing of products which mostly still work. At some point one has the feeling of wanting to possess something new again. It is a constantly repeating pattern to satisfy our needs, but not important. Finally, everything is a repetition, a different appearance. The old plate is replaced with the same function, but the design is different.
"We just want the feeling that something is changing in life. Maybe we should be conscious of what we really need. Everything else is a distraction, something we like to use to distract us from ourselves.
"How insecure and upset we actually are. But what if all of these products would no longer be? Time for change. Redefine prosperity. Materialism."

The exploding toys of Alan Sailer, Camarillo, California, America - 08 Nov 2012

War On Christmas: Alan Sailer's Exploding Toys
If you are excited about Christmas, look away now.
Serial object destroyer Alan Sailer has turned his twisted attention to exploding much-loved toys.
The high-speed photography fanatic has selected children's favourites and destroyed them with firecrackers.
And thanks to his photographic expertise, the 57-year-old has managed to capture the moment the poor playthings were blown apart.
Unfortunate toys and characters include a Mickey Mouse mug blowing its top, Tweety Pie losing his head, a troll head cracking up and a Rubik's Cube exploding into pieces.
Alan, from Camarillo, California, explains: "The poor defenseless toys are common so I pick them up from garage sales. I try my best to keep the costs under a dollar per shot.
"I will admit that it is fun to mess with toy archetypes. I have to smile when an icon of sweet innocence like My Little Pony crumbles to pieces in rather horrifying way."
To blow up the objects Alan uses a firecracker modified so that it can be fired using an electrical signal. He then has to synchronise the opening of the camera shutter with the explosion. It does not need to be really accurate, but it does need to be better than lighting a fuse.
"The camera is unimportant, it's not a special camera. I use a Nikon D90 for most of my shots. I have also used an old Nikon F3 film camera, a Canon G6, Rebel XT etc. The camera must have a manual focus and manual settings is all.
"The flash is the key, that and the detector/trigger. I use a home built flash based on a model built in the 1950s by Harold Edgerton. The flash is really fast about 1 millionth of a second and it stops the action.
"The detector/trigger is also critical. It detects that the debris from the explosion has arrived and fires the flash a...

The Quirky Welsh Town of Portmeirion
July 7, 2007, Porthmadog, Gwynedd, Wales: Portmeirion, in North Wales, is a resort, where no one has ever lived. A self-taught Welsh architect named Sir Clough Williams-Ellis built it out of architectural salvage between the 1920s and 1970s, loosely based on his memories of trips to Portofino. Including a pagoda-shaped Chinoiserie gazebo, some Gothic obelisks, eucalyptus groves, a crenellated castle, a Mediterranean bell tower, a Jacobean town hall, and an Art Deco cylindrical watchtower. He kept improving Portmeirion until his death in 1978, age 94. It faces an estuary where at low tide one can walk across the sands and look out to sea. At high tide, the sea is lapping onto the shores. Every building in the village is either a shop, restaurant, hotel or self-catering accomodation. The village is booked out at high season, with numerous wedding receptions at the weekends. Very popular amongst the English and Welsh holidaymakers. Many who return to the same abode season after season. Hundreds of tourists visit every day, walking around the ornamental gardens, cobblestone paths, and shopping, eating ice-creams, or walking along the woodland and coastal paths, amongst a colourful assortment of hydrangea, rhododendrons, tree ferns and redwoods. The resort boasts two high class hotels, a la carte menus, a swimming pool, a lifesize concrete boat, topiary, pools and wishing wells. The creator describes the resort as "a home for fallen buildings," and its ragged skyline and playful narrow passageways which were meant to provide "more fun for more people." It does just that.///Woodlands and lake, with water lilies and with Temi Temple at Portmeirion. Credit: Nigel Dickinson / Polaris

The resort boasts two high class hotels, a la carte menus, a swimming pool, a lifesize concrete boat, topiary, pools and wishing wells. The creator describes the resort as "a home for fallen buildings," and its ragged skyline and playful narrow passageways which were meant to provide "more fun for more people." It does just that.///Ornamental central gardens of Portmeirion village. Flanked by Dome Gallery, Gothic tower, Renaissance collonades, with lwans, flowerbeds, topiary, pools and fountains..

The Quirky Welsh Town of Portmeirion
July 7, 2007, Porthmadog, Gwynedd, Wales: Portmeirion, in North Wales, is a resort, where no one has ever lived. A self-taught Welsh architect named Sir Clough Williams-Ellis built it out of architectural salvage between the 1920s and 1970s, loosely based on his memories of trips to Portofino. Including a pagoda-shaped Chinoiserie gazebo, some Gothic obelisks, eucalyptus groves, a crenellated castle, a Mediterranean bell tower, a Jacobean town hall, and an Art Deco cylindrical watchtower. He kept improving Portmeirion until his death in 1978, age 94. It faces an estuary where at low tide one can walk across the sands and look out to sea. At high tide, the sea is lapping onto the shores. Every building in the village is either a shop, restaurant, hotel or self-catering accomodation. The village is booked out at high season, with numerous wedding receptions at the weekends. Very popular amongst the English and Welsh holidaymakers. Many who return to the same abode season after season. Hundreds of tourists visit every day, walking around the ornamental gardens, cobblestone paths, and shopping, eating ice-creams, or walking along the woodland and coastal paths, amongst a colourful assortment of hydrangea, rhododendrons, tree ferns and redwoods. The resort boasts two high class hotels, a la carte menus, a swimming pool, a lifesize concrete boat, topiary, pools and wishing wells. The creator describes the resort as "a home for fallen buildings," and its ragged skyline and playful narrow passageways which were meant to provide "more fun for more people."
