Lots of Brake Dust?!

Hello, I was just wondering if there is a reason that all of a sudden I am getting a lot of brake dust off the front wheels of my '90 Accord. I checked the pads and they are still far from needing replacement!

Thanks

yeah if you do alot of stop and go driving or alot of hard braking, you will get tons of brake dust on your rims, any good wheel cleaner will take it right off.
