Photography and Art: Redefined

Very few things will make you think if the current recession(read decreased consumption) is a good thing !!

Chris Jordan’s photos are one of them. The picture (or rather half the pic) above represents the amount of oil (28,000 42-gallon barrels) consumed in the US every 2 minutes…

Check out some more his ‘works of art’ here to get a sense of perspective on how much the United States ‘consumes’…Wonder what the pictures will be on a global level.

If you have the time, also check out his excellent presentation below
