For those of you who haven't yet caught the Globe's 8-part series on the impact that developing Alberta's oil sands is having across the country, read it!

Featured in the series are aerial pictures taken by Edward Burtynsky, a Canadian photographer renowned for his large-scale pictures of industrial landscapes. I caught his Manufactured Landscapes exhibit when it was at the AGO in 2004. I love how he uses photography to trigger awareness of social and environmental issues. (Note AG career-envy here!) Check out his photos of the oil sands through the link above.

Also check out Burtynsky's works exploring China's hyper-industrialization. Moving & important images. Then check out Greg Girard's photography of Shanghai... he's a Canadian who's living there, and he is capturing the destruction of the charming old city to make way for ultra-modern corporate spaces.
