Tree of Sorrows
This photo was taken on Black Friday, a day of great significance for the average consumer, but also a day of reflection to the consumer culture that has encompassed modern society. In this photo, even though the dead oak tree is standing tall against the odds of the forces of nature, a small plastic bag near the top taints its beauty, and was a stark reminder of the effects of consumerism.
