carbon footprint of the artist as a young man
Someone suggested that people look at Edward Burtynsky after posting about Mark Luthringer via the New Shelton. Both are interesting. I have issues with taking photos of trash and sprawl. how can an image talk about waste when it itself such a product and a promulgation of the visual noise that facilitates our disconnection to the implications of these objects? Photographing patterns within the noise of consumer production is more interesting. It calls attention to what we do not see because of it's profusion in a more specific manner. It all still seems kind of jaded though.
