Intolerable Beauty: Chris Jordan Photographs American Mass Consumption

Kind of makes you stop and think for a moment.

wow -
we sure make a lot of trash.

Amazing! Makes me feel kind of sick and pretty sad about what we are doing to our planet. As someone commented on the link, we are going to be like the movie Wall*E before we know what hit us. We just throw things in the trash and the garbage man comes and takes it all away. "Out of sight, out of mind"
Something needs to change, but will it?

I saw his exhibit here in Seattle. Makes you wonder why we are a bunch of pigs.

I have always hated the throw away society that we have been forced to become.
I remember not so long ago when you could get something repaired and it was cheaper to do that than buy new.
So what has changed.
Even more frustrating is the people I watch daily throwing litter out of car windows and onto roads and walkways.
Is this just a total lack of respect or has society really become that ignorant and not even realised it.

On the contrary,

This series of photos shows how we recycle. Its a bit rich coming from a DIGITAL industry to complain about the tools we use every day as our trade or hobby.

If the stuff was just dumped into a land fill then there would be a case to moan. I'm excited about new technology and the ongoing desire to embrace things new. I threw away my Box Brownie years ago.

By the way there are thought provoking arn't they. We done.

Cheers,

Woody
