The great Canadian photographer, Ed Burtynsky, has a new exhibit showing at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. It’s called “Oil”, and it looks at the effects of oil in our lives. Just that alone got me excited about it.
Anyone fortunate enought to be in the vicinity of that gallery in the next while should visit.
Here’s a video the gallery has:

I wish I could see this in person, Burtynsky is one of my favorite active artists.
Oh yes, this is an incredible show. You should try and make it down to DC to see it in person. The magazine I work for was able to get a photo in our December issue: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200912/gallery-burtynsky
