The abandoned shopping cart is the first cousin of the street couch. They both line the streets of urban areas, and they both hint at recently finished stories — interludes between a new life and another adventure.

We’ve been taking photos of shopping carts for some time now, and it’s with great pleasure (no, seriously) that we’re announcing new galleries on the site and our Facebook page devoted to the mechanical mystery of abandoned shopping carts.

Take a look. Give a push.
