Breaking

Chris Jordan is a photographer I admire greatly. His skill and dedication to his craft is stunning, not to mention the fact that his photographs contribute to the world around us.

I was surfing some of my photography sites when I noticed a link to a new set of his photographs...

I didn't want to look at them once I knew what the subject matter was... but it must be the power of his photographs that drew me to look closely at every one...

See for yourself here:

I look around me in my room full of stuff and... realize that there is a price to be paid.

I don't believe in the divine. I don't believe in prophecy. But who can look at this world and not feel that something is deeply and horribly wrong? This world is damaged - and it's much worse than just global warming and the buzzwords we hear on television.

And yet it's my fault... mine for believing that the dollar I paid for the soda I bought today was really what it cost. Chris Jordan opened my eyes.
