Barry Rosenthal: “Found in Nature” makes artwork out of trash (PHOTOS). Barry Rosenthal Many people think of beach trash as an unfortunate eyesore. But Barry Rosenthal, who spends much of his time on beaches in gloves and knee-high boots, combing through glass, plastic, and other junk, finds artistic inspiration in what others leave behind.
