You are right that aerial photos often look quite foreign to our eyes. In the 1970s when I was active in a local environmental organization, I built a 5x7 in. aerial camera and used it to study pollution. Some of the resulting photos did look like abstract art.

Many thanks, my friend. Burtynsky has long been an inspiration even if very challenging to confront what he shows us about ourselves.

The photos are intriguing and not what usually makes me want to look further...but these did. Thanks for sharing them and the link.

Thanks. It's good to shake it up now and then and spread the word on 2 good photographers.
