Edward Burtynsky

I really like this photograph showing the oil spill from a few years back. The black of the oil completely contrasts with the color of the water. The image also shows how large the extent of the spill was, instead of just reading of the damage the viewer can see how far the oil actually spread.

This water image is also very eye catching. I love the different features of this landscape; how so many different water paths flow together. It almost looks like different roads, and the photography takes a minute for me to understand.

I really like this photograph. The water going down the center separates the left side  of developed area and grass from the right side of desert. All the straight lines and squares capture my attention as well. One thing I really like about these three Burtynsky images is the aerial views he uses to document the landscapes. The viewer can see so much more of the area than if he had simply been on the ground.
