The Bottled Paradox

^It was the aqua-blue colour of the plastic bottles which catched my eyes. I stood there shooting for five minutes and was glad to be ignored by the passers-by, thanks to the unassuming appearance of the GX200, affording me the following paragraphs.

Bottled water gives a false impression of cleanliness, or at least they are touted as such by the ads.

^As if you don't know, a notion in the west has it that turning the shutter speed to 1/30s can freeze the motion of a person walking at a norm pace past the lens. Now, by the photos here, you get an idea of how fast a pace people in a frenzy big city like Hong Kong move along the street.

Paradoxically, the soft drink manufacturers most likely get the water out of a place to finally have it bottled and sold to another place, with the cost of the plastic materials be borne by the buyers and the environment.

This is the least thing we can call clear.

This Australian town which bans bottled water pioneers an exemplary act which the whole world should follow. What you and I can and should do is to consume less bottled water, and better never. Always bring your own bottle of water. ^I like the motion feeling in the images with the bottles looked like observing the moving world in stillness. In fact, to me, it speaks figuratively of the people's burial into oblivion of the obvious truth that these bottles are to pollute our environment in the end.
