Edward Burtynsky: Oil

Winner of the And/or Book Award 2010 for photography, given by the London-based Krasna-Krausz Foundation.

“In addition to revealing the rarely-seen mechanics of its manufacture, Burtynsky captures the effects of oil on our lives, depicting landscapes altered by its extraction from the earth, and by the cities and suburban sprawl generated around its use. He also addresses the coming “end of oil,” as we confront its rising cost and dwindling availability.”

More info via his website.

His work is featured in the documentary Manufactured Landscapes.

California dreaming

“Once upon a time, Fresno was the California Dream. Own a car. Own a house. Own a pool. Everyone wanted it and the wonderful world of credit made it all possible. But now, with the foreclosure monster running wild, the dream is dry. Thousands of pools are festering in the hot Central Valley sun. For most people this is tragic. But for some, it’s an opportunity.”

Part of the “California is a place” series.
