"Burtynsky's study on man's effect began when he first started University. It was a project his professor gave him, to document the evidence of man on earth, and, according to Burtynsky, he is still working on that initial project."

Many of you are probably already familiar with this photographer, a 2005 TED award winner and Canadian, who's work has been shown all over the world. There's also a documentary of his work entitled Manufactured Landscapes that I can't wait to watch when I get home. The opening scene is amazing.
