Edward Burtynsky, 2010
Dryland Farming #2, Monegros County, Aragon, Spain 

Watermark, a recent documentary film by industrial landscape photographer Edward Burtynsky (Canadian, b. 1955) about how water shapes us, and how we shape water, is an astonishing and powerful work of art.   Don’t miss it…and if you can find it,  rent Manufactured Landscapes, a 2006 film about Burtynsky’s work.  Both films are visually arresting and magnificent portrayals of man’s impact on the environment, or as Burtynsky says “nature transformed through industry.”
