Willa, der.

A garbage slick nearly a mile long along the shorein Ocean County, New Jersey, on May 23, 1988, marked the first slick of the season. Needles,syringes, and empty prescription bottles withNew York addresses washed upon the shore (31).New Jersey beaches closed several times last sea-son due to such incidents. More recently, on July6-7, 1988, 10 miles of Long Island beaches closedwhen medical wastes washed ashore. Through-out the summer of 1988, beaches from Maineto the Gulf of Mexico, along the Great Lakes,and elsewhere in the Nation experienced washupsof medical wastes.

I'm wondering where you are from. I resent this MISrepresentation of New Jersey, the garden state!

I don't like the colors in this.

I'm not wild about this shot, but I like the way it looks like a '70s photo.

Not a bad effort, though I would have liked a little sharper focus. I'm sure you noticed another one in the challenge that is very similar!

Too much contrast for my taste.

must have been a pretty wild summer

Not sure what the interest is on this photo, I like the red/black/white colors.

Too contrasty and over saturated for my taste.

true dat

Over-sharpened and grainy looking.
10/07/2002 12:56:00 PM
very close to my entry :)
10/07/2002 11:27:00 AM
bad contrast, good idea for a subject.
10/07/2002 10:51:00 AM
A little less saturation -5

Very well thought out. It definitely gives an impact. However, there is a noticable resolution it. The image appears someahwt pixelated. Perhaps less compression.

Not a bad concept, but the image itself is pretty poor. (Blurred and 'bitty'.)
10/07/2002 01:10:00 AM
LoL!!! As someone that lived through that, it's only funny now :) Not sure how many folks will get this. Technically could have had sharper focus.
