An elderly man wearing a surgical mask grips onto a shopping cart filled with collected cans and plastic bottles. Broomsticks support the corners of the cart for more storage. The man slightly leans in towards an older woman lifting up her phone and communicating with him. It appears they may be headed somewhere, or that the woman is taking his photo. Bottle collectors are all around The Bronx, finding ways to raise extra money or money in general for survival.
