The Daguerreotype: Contemporary work by Jonathan Danforth

I stumbled upon the photography of Jonas Bendiksen while purusing the blog over at wmmna. In particular, I was drawn to the imagery in the Satellite series in which Bendiksen catalogs and reports on the aftermath of Soviet space launches. In particular, however, I was struck by the magical underwater quality of this image of a steel mill in the Transdniester region of Moldova. The image makes me think about our future and what will remain of our creations when we’re gone.
