"Exploring the Residual Landscape": Edward Burtynsky is a Canadian photographer who focuses his work on the transformation of landscape by human activity, exploring mines, quarries, shipyards, oil fields and the likes. I really like that he doesn't try to convey any obvious message. Even though most pictures largely speak for themselves, the depth of this fascinating portrait of human activity can be enjoyed for its sheer aesthetics. If like me you find factories beautiful and enjoy walking around torn down buildings and abandoned mines I am sure you too will enjoy his work very much.
