Edward Burtynsky

Burtynsky's photos that were shown in his video really grasps the notion that more is in fact more.  The photos of the factories and skyscrapers in China are really what caught my eye.  In particular, the sheer amount of "things."  It almost was a form of abstract art when the photos were shown full screen-then when you actually look at what that photo is-it is astonishing.
The first photo above is of one of the factories on it's lunch break- the way Burtynsky has captured the movement in the photo with the pink uniforms is exceptional.  In the second photo, oil filters overtake the entire frame and that is what really left me in awe.
