palm tree cell phone towers

Also known as stealth towers, these "trees" are some of the most fantastic sculptures that I have ever seen, what can I say? I love them! I am not alone in my admiration for these amazing objects, as some people are even playing a game, much like slug bug!

for the love of industrial imagery

Images of industrial scenery have been created since the industrial revolution, from drawings, prints, and paintings to photographs, artists and professionals have been captivated by the formal visual qualities to the economic relationships of the industry set before them. Some of our favorite photographers include:


Charles Sheeler's images from the Ford Motor Company's River Rouge Plant in 1927, Blast Furnace

Edward Burtynsky's Manufactured Landscapes, particularly his Bao Steel #2, from Shanghai in 2005

Last but not least is writer and photographer Brian Hayes dedication to the the subject of industrial landscapes and research on infrastructure, which includes the steel industry that both Sheeler and Burtynsky researched.

This album contains just a few images taken with and iPhone with the geographic location attached to each image. many mobile devices attach this information or you can purchase a separate device and sync the data to your images as you upload them to your computer.

While this is not quite the same as Mitch Epstein's project, What is American Power?, which collects comments on American power from an international audience and displays their location on an interactive map, the sentiments for linking data with the goegraphic reference are the same.
