Edit: This is in response to Nico’s Yellow Submarine who disagrees. Clients wouldn’t have expected instant results then, deadlines are just becoming more urgent now.

Kevin Taylor was a husband, father, director of Taylor Cullity Lethlean, and my boss. Tragically, he was killed in a car accident in Darwin on Sunday, 7 August.

Burtynsky takes large scale photographs of how the landscape has been modified by mankind and industry.
