Anyone who works in news will tell you that photographs drive attention.  That a great photograph can propel a story or an issue from the sidelines to the center of a public conversation.  Large-scale photographer Edward Burtynsky is making it his life’s work to jump start a global conversation about sustainability – by photographing scarred, damaged industrial landscapes.  He’s a TED prize winner whose work is in more than 50 museum collections.  Burtynsky and filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal have worked together on two documentaries.  Steve Paulson talked with her about their first – filmed in China.  It’s called  “Manufactured Landscapes.”
