The prompt for Week 17: recycled/repurposed

Part of a big El Anatsui exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum
last year, this is called "Drainpipe" and was specifically
tailored to the space it occupied (as it is wherever
it's installed).  These are tin-can lids strung
together with copper wire. (There was another huge
work there that Anatsui made using bottle caps.)
Beats adding at all to the landfill, doesn't it?

The prompt for Week 17—unusual and uncommon:
something you don't see every day

Was walking in my Park Slope, Brooklyn
neighborhood one day and passed this
otherwise-perfectly-normal-looking woman.
Kinda cool, no?  Though I'm not really sure a) why you
would wear a headful of blue plastic "dreads" or
b) where you would find them in the first place.
Any thoughts?

The prompt for Week 17:
Pause, Observe, Snap. Capture a moment in time.

I really like this prompt, because it represents
what I love most about photography.
I captured this particular moment in Central Park, 
where people come to tango every Saturday 
from 6 to 9.  There's probably a 50-year 
age difference between these two dancers, but
they were totally connected through their love of
the tango and absolutely mesmerizing to watch.
