2. The International Landscape Photographer of the
Year competition recently announced its winners, and they sure
show what an incredible and diverse world we live in. This is the
first year for the contest, which awarded prizes for the best
photographer as well as the best single landscape photo.
Christian Fletcher, winner of the photographer of the year
award, documented industrial impacts on the landscape. Fletcher
said of his photos:
"My aim was to produce striking images from the air that had an
industrial theme. I am concerned about the path we are heading
down. By showing what is beyond the view of most of the public,
I hoped to create a conversation about why we are heading down
that path and if it is necessary... As a photographer I feel it is
my duty to capture the world we live in, be it pristine wilderness
or industrial oblivion. Both are inspiring in a photographic sense
but only one is sustainable."
