Benjamin Wong and Friends Transformed a Lifetime of Electronic Waste into Art

3/05/2018 ISO 1200 Magazine 0 Comments

Every single day, 142,000 computers are thrown away in the US. Our hope, when teaming up with Dell, was to encourage more people to recycle their electronic waste. In the hands of people like you, photography can become a powerful weapon. We hope that you will join us in making the world a better place!

Huge props to Dell for making this project possible and for providing a simple responsible recycling solution for all!
