The photography of Edward Burtynsky grabbed my eye when an announcement of an upcoming (well, 2005) retrospective at the Brooklyn Museum of Art appeared in the New York Times.
His photography explores the displacement of nature through the works of man: highway interchanges, landfills, cargo commerce.
