This is the collage I made after seeing this Daily News article illustration about the guns used in the Sandy Hook Shooting, I have removed the actual gun images and replaced them with similar guns made from Hurricane Sandy beach trash.

Bushmaster AR-15 Assault Rifle made from Hurricane Sandy Beach Trash

I gathered all of this plastic trash from the beaches after Hurricane Sandy and stared at the pile for a while, wondering what to do with it... I was on the brink of taking it all to the recycling center when the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School happened and I decided to turn it into an AR-15, Be on the lookout for the Glock,  the Sig Sauer and body armor in the works.  Note the Details like the Pacifier as the shoulder hook, the shotgun shells as the clip and you can actually pick it up and aim it through the baby shovel handle.

pointGREEN's First Seagull Building Workshop!

Everybody always told me I should teach Photography!  Well this morning I taught a workshop about building six pack seagulls!  I bent the frame beforehand and let the kids attach the six pack rings, they will finish the project with their teachers over the next month...

The kids each got a few six pack rings and 6 zip ties and created cool stuff, one made handcuffs, one made a blanket, one got entangled!  Come to think of it a 5 year old is about the same size as an Albatross!

Let us know if your school or community group would be interested in a workshop, lets get the Eco-Gulls up across the nation!
