A randomly named dumpster in St. Petersburg? - Nikon D300 Nikkor 105mm VR micro @ f/4 ISO 200 1/500thI took some time a few weeks ago to just walk around downtown St. Petersburg with my Nikon D300 attached to my Induro CT214 tripod with my Nikkor 80-200mm lens attached. Before I left the house I had the idea to bring just this gear and make what shots I could using this somewhat unusual gear grouping for shooting an urban environment.
I came across this dumpster beside a building in a nondescript location. It seems that dumpsters for some reason are named in St. Petersburg. Long ago I photographed one named "KRESS." Now that I think about it, these "names" very well could be applied by a third party and not the city sanitation department itself. In light of that, I feel sure now that this dumpster named C.U. METH. is not random. So it seems there is a further story behind this photograph lying with the person who painted the name on the dumpster and why. One guess, this is where the person tossed away the last remnants of items used for taking meth.
Now that I have realized St. Petersburg dumpsters have given names, I will keep an eye out for more. If you see any, be sure and get a photograph of them to share.
