Edward Burtysnky


I am in love with this photograph. The photograph looks so simple, but yet it is showing a very complex structure of a Los Angeles. The photo is dominated by gray but the greens from the trees and brown from the dirt seem very subtle, and the lighting and contrast just seem perfect. The photo looks as though it is in HDR? I am not too sure. But I do get a very surrealistic feel to it.
I find it very difficult to tell what Edward Burtynsky was trying to show, but if I were to say it is that he wants to show how urbanization and the use of major highways is killing of our land (as that is what most of his pictures are about.)
