embarrassment - danny

this is my picture.
first about this image: i didn't want to use the mainstream definition of "embarrassment": to feel shame due to one's shortcoming. i used "embarrassment of riches": one having unlimited resources from which to draw. what i eventually decided to focus on was the seemingly unlimited riches of corporations, and the unregulated extent to which they pursue their booty.
execution: one sunday i rode my bicycle all around san diego and shot pictures of corporate retail signage. i would use the first letter of each image to spell "embarrassment." i added three more images after the last "t" in order to balance the picture, and give a polar opposite to embarrassment of riches. all the images are duotone colored (gray being the only common color), except for the last image--the homeless person which is in black-and-white. the last image was the conceptual opposite of the other 15 images.
