"One thing that's consistent in all of my work is that these aren't accidents; they're all conscious landscapes. They're all things that we're doing and that we have done through our legal and social systems and structures of capitalism."
Edward Burtynsky"I can go into the wilderness and not see anyone for days and experience a kind of space that hasn't changed for tens of thousands of years.
