"With THERMO I wanted to explore new photographic techniques and for
that purpose I used an AGEMA Thermovision 570 thermo graphic camera
originally used on military activities and currently used for industrial
services."

"In addition, the use of this technology involved new visual experiences
for me and enabled me to reach my goal: to make water the central
element of my work."

"Because the camera is designed to mainly detect heat generated by
objects and because water was the main element of the project, the
photographed objects (clothes, frets, metal, etc.) had to be exposed to
water at the highest possible temperature to be visually differentiated
from the rest of the objects."

Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky's large-scale color landscapes
survey a decade of photographic imagery exploring the subject of oil. From
1997 through 2009, Burtynsky traveled internationally to chronicle the
production, distribution, and use of oil. In addition to revealing the rarely
seen mechanics of its manufacture, he photographs the effects of oil on our
lives, depicting landscapes altered by its extraction from the Earth and by the
sprawl generated by its use. YouTubeLink

"I have traveled to Japan about a half a dozen
times since 1963. It is one of my favorite
places. These photographs were taken in Japan
on two different occasions. The black-and-white
photos were taken in 1976, using a new 35 mm
Contax Camera. The color photos were taken in
2006, thirty years later, with a digital point and
shoot."
