Ed Burtynsky video
in Photography , Wednesday, November 15, 2006
There probably isn't a large crossover between the photography world, and those who follow the TED conference, which is a pity, because the video of Edward Burtynsky's talk (see below) is erudite and fascinating. Well worth the 94Mb download.
2005 TEDPrize winner Ed Burtynsky on TEDTalks: "
Photographer Ed Burtynsky accepts the 2005 TEDPrize, and presents a stunning slideshow of his work, which explores human impact on the natural world in eerily beautiful large-scale landscapes. He also unveils his three wishes: To use his artwork to encourage a worldwide conversation about the planet; to launch a ground-breaking competition that motivates kids to invent new ideas in sustainable living; and to create a IMAX movie of his work. (Recorded February 2005 in Monterey, CA. Duration: 35:10)
