The photography blog of Bag Ball
I posted a boy with one of these homemade balls a couple weeks back. This time I thought I'd just focus on the the ball itself. This one has a little shoelace or something in there too but it's still a perfectly good example.
They make them out of discarded plastic bags and you'd be surprised just how bouncy and resilient they are. They get lots of time being kicked around and end up no worse for wear. Keeping a ball in decent order isn't much trouble outside Rwanda and Kenya.
In Rwanda, these types of bags are illegal and the Nairobi City Council just voted to ban them. Not to deprive kids of balls, but because they are trying to reduce pollution.
Make pictures, don't pollute.

The textures in this picture have captivated me on so many levels. I have not stopped thinking about it since you posted this one.
Pollution? Seriously!
