Manufactured heartbreak
May 28, 2008
Last week I was in the vast, wild, and sparsely populated lands of Alaska, where the air is crisp and moose roam free. Tonight my wife and I watched Manufactured Landscapes, a documentary film about Edward Burtynsky’s photography of quarries, recycling yards, factories, mines, dams, and their implied impact on the environment and human life. Fascinating, heartbreaking, yet inspiring. See trailer on YouTube.
My wife thought of the clever title.
