Here is a review of the current not-to-be-missed exhibit at the Meadow Brook Art Gallery in Rochester entitled Imaging a Shattering Earth, Contemporary Photography and the Environmental Debate: "a beautiful, must-see photographic exposé of the catastrophic results of human engineering on earth," which not only features photos by Edward Burtynsky
but a bunch of others too. Go check this out.

I saw a show by Robert ParkeHarrison several years back and it was one of the most striking photography shows I have ever seen. Really amazing stuff.
Could there be a problem in making such devastation undeniably beautiful? Burtynsky's uranium tailings series is exquisite, for instance. Just a thought.
