Darren Rigo
Cobweb, By Darren Rigo
I like Darren Rigo’s Displacement series quite a bit. I see a connection to John Pfahl’s Altered Landscapes, which I have come to think of as some of the most interesting landscape photography of the 20th century.

Chris Jordan – Journey to Midway
These devastating photos by Chris Jordan show the effects of pollution on albatross chicks on an island in the north Pacific ocean. Although the images are disturbing, I also find them to be completely mesmerizing.
