Edward Burtynsky
October 26, 2009
I came across a TED talk from photographer Edward Burtynsky this morning. Edward Burtynsky creates large format landscapes that illustrate the impact of human development on the natural environment. His work is primarily about waste and sustainability. If you are using an adequate computer monitor, it is definitely worth your time to view his collection of images. Particularly wondrous are his photographs of ship disassembly in the “Ships” series.
All of his work is fascinating. Pictured above is a piece from “Oil” which depicts the Nanpu Bridge Interchange in Shanghai, China.
