The American Consumer

Not sure how, but I think this guy will have to play a role in my new collage. I think a lot about Western over consumption and its relationship to the developing world. Certainly this relationship is far too complex for me to understand, but I can explore it visually, from my point of view. One of the most striking things for me when I return from time in India is my first trip to the grocery store. The over abundance of everything is quite shocking compared to the vendors I get used to seeing with their modest stock of vegetables piled neatly before them as they sit cross legged on the street. I wonder what an American grocery store would look like to such a person?
