Chris Jordan's "The Midway Project"

"If you want to see the impact of human garbage on nature itself, go to Midway Island in the Pacific, and see the plastic inside the stomachs of dead albatros birds."

And that's what Chris Jordan did. The once lawyer, now photographer does an amazing job of capturing, what he calls Portraits of mass consumption. My focus for today is his Midway Project, which presents in depth look on our impact on the world. He took still photographs at first, but from 2009 onward he works with a crew of professionals on making this documentary film.

Check out the trailer on the Midway film website.

Really makes me wonder. . .
