We have multiplied our population many many times yet have never expanded our food production as much. So much more, we have not been serious enough to protect our water sources, forest system, land fertility and never caring to be serious enough in how to put back the nutrients into the soil. We are more concerned about money and becoming rich thinking that when we have money we can buy everything...it is never true...money can buy only what is sold and will be sold... we can only sell what we produce and can produce..sooner when there is nothing produced, there will be nothing to sell, and money cannot be eaten.

Reminds me of photographer Benoit Aquin, although he is slightly more contemporary. Aquin's 'Chinese Dust Bowl' often has the same feel as these works by Stanmeyer. You can best view his work on Artmo | Art Market Online: http://www.artmo.com/Artists/benoit+aquin/ Absolutely stunning documentary work.
