His work centered on people living ''outside of time'' with traditional jobs and skills that had been passed down through generations. However, even if this wealth is advantageous for the province of Alberta, oil companies, and the inhabitants, it is at the expense of the environment of us all.

Some photos exhibit problems (corners softness, chromatic aberration and vignetting) indicating that the lenses used by the photographer have been of only average quality. Each photo is accompanied by a short essay or explanation, ussualy local trivia, the history of the shot or the environmental impact of industrial activity at each specific location.There are several different editions, this was a second version published in 2007 and there was a new one published in 2009. The Need to Know, a photo book, is my exploration of the meager details that emerged from brief and cryptic conversations with my father and my curiosity about Cold War espionage and its impact upon my family at the time.

I especially like the shots of villages built in ways I haven't seen much, like on bamboo stilts or out of banco (which the book describes as a mixture of earth, straw, and rice chaff - I learned something!Yann Arthus-Bertrand was born in a renowned jewellers' family founded by Claude Arthus-Bertrand and Michel-Ange Marion. In this TED talk, Yann Arthus-Bertrand talks about his photograpy project - Earth from Above, and recently released movie on environment - Home.

Global warming, deforestation, very low levels of precipitation -- scientists are wondering why the snow on Africa's highest summit which, at 5,895 meters tall, is gradually disappearing. Crystalline formations on Lake Magadi, Kenya — Surrounded by high volcanic plateaus, these alkaline waters have a high salt content.Also, one cannot fail to mention that the lake's sesquicarbonate crystals - the purest in the world -- have been exploited for over a century to produce sodium carbonate used in the glass and detergent industries. A present from Sam a long time ago (we first saw an outdoor exhibit of Arthus-Bertrand's photographs in Amsterdam and I loved them--ignore how snotty that sounds), in 2014 I made a goal of actually reading this day by day (or every few days) throughout the year, as I believe the book is meant to be enjoyed. This iconic book of photographs brings together the images from this movement, experiencing the light and dark of care and parenthood, the beauty of close-up details, love and hardship, and most importantly, the personal poetic truths of these mamas and artists.
