When I first moved to Philadelphia in 2001, I began noticing banana peels in the streets. I'd lived in Boston/Cambridge, San Francisco, Asheville and three boroughs of New York City, and I couldn't recall ever having noticed so many banana peels in the streets. In April 2009, I began documenting them - not actively searching for them as a pastime, but rather just staying alert when going to work, the gym, the movies, anywhere. I'm posting some of the best and the most recent images. All are presented exactly as found; none have been moved, placed or otherwise interfered with.
