Environment: a Photographer’s Contribution

Bloggers Unite - Blog Action Day Words:irrational has a interesting post about a photographer’s contribution to the environment, as part of Blog Action Day.

I have another suggestion for photographers. Photograph pollution.

Many of us love to photograph nature in all its beauty, but the ugly side is avoided. We don’t tend to leave home hoping to find a river clogged with pollution, though smoke stacks might get a bit more attention from some.

So get out there and take some photos showing just how much our environment is suffering. Post them on your blog or flickr (you can even submit them to groups like Up in Smoke). Maybe your photo will be the one that leads to one more polluter being stopped.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the plug.

    And yours is a very good idea too… Make it harsh… Show the world the dump we are turning our world into. Maybe it works. Again, one mind at a time.
