Photographer Chris Jordan has documented the plight of of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, thousands and thousands of kilometres from the nearest continent.

To quote the statement: These photographs of albatross chicks were made in September, 2009, on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking. The full gallery of images is here.

These have been on vivid in my mind for a week or so ever since I first came across them.

Edward Burtynsky, searches for a dialogue between attraction and repulsion, seduction and fear. I first came across the incredible work of Edward Burtynsky through the forthcoming issue of Landscape Architecture Australia. Proof of the fact that designing publications is a great excuse for reading on the job.

Whilst on a shoot for an upcoming publication we’re doing at a Melbourne printer, I took my LOMO™ along to sneak s few pics in. Here’s the fruits of my labor.

I met up with a mate the other week that happens to be a street/documentary photographer. We were having a coffee at local Collingwood cafe CIBI (great chicken foccacias) when he whipped out his Leica and snapped off a few frames. He just sent this photo through from that day and I was pretty amazed at the result. Interesting how an ordinary scene can be made to look so interesting and provoking through the eyes of a true talent.

We’ve just done a shoot for an upcoming print piece with Josh. Can’t let too much more out of the bag just now but watch this space for details over the next few weeks. In the meantime check out Josh’s work at www.joshrobenstone.com.

Every now and then you come across a photographer who captures something really unique in average subject matter. I’ve been into this documentary style of photography for a while now and Jason Orton in my opinion is doing it really, really well.

A vast collection of breathtaking photography from Christian Weber, (not just limited to landscapes). Stumbled upon via Triangle Triangle.

Process images from a shoot for an exciting project we’re woring on for AGDA in collaboration with Jim from Tankstudio. More soon.

Great waves at Bells Beach Australia on Sunday! Winter is on the way…
