Edward Burtynski

We watched the film Manufactured Landscapes about Edward Burtynski, and found it to be a real eye opener. This has to be my favorite photo by Burtynski.

The feel of size and scale in this shot is phenomenal, the uniformity of all the people/ workers goes hand in hand with the uniformity of the buildings. The building in the front left of the photo appears at odds with the rest, this mirrored by the odd person here and there not wherein yellow. It really is a manufactured landscape in every sense, even the plants look fake and to well ordered.

Industrial, hmm I think so.

This shot is amazing, the metal structure of the bridge is beautiful and the all the rivets and bolts in a uniform order, yes I think I really would enjoy do a shot like this. I cannot emphasize enough how much I really like this photo.

  All the angles the replicated shapes this has to be one of my favorite photos.

Love the altitude aspect in this shot of a home near a desert taken in America, I think.

Even though it is taken at an elevation they have still managed to get a lot of detail in the photo, you can pretty much see every detail but I don’t get the feeling it was taken with a large format camera, or it might just be the print quality.

I also like the owner of the houses chose of cars, ford bronco/blazer and a VW Beetle.

Not to sure on the content of these photos but I really like the repetitiveness of them, and the idea of taking multiple shots from different angles.

Also the lack of human life is I find interesting, though there is some nature in the shot there is a distinct lack of human life in the photos coupled with the fact that the objects in the photos are very much man made it makes for very interesting and intriguing photos.

The way that they have composed this is cool; I like the way that they’ve used the shapes to make an otherwise quite bland view into something very beautiful. Also the separation of the colures is good. Its quite easy to pick out separate pieces that I like in this but trying to find a negative about it is challenging, but maybe the wood on the floor could have been removed but still if it weren’t there It would just be dead space.

Love the simplicity of this. It’s basically a photograph of dirt, but the lines and tread marks really give it punch. I like the idea of construction before there’s anything being constructed, I know that’s not what the photographer was aiming for but that’s what I get from it.
