PDN has a great look at Edward Burtynsky’s photographs of oil being harvested from the earth. If you haven’t heard, Burtynsky just recently released a new book entitled Oil that showcases over 12 years of photographic work in this area. His photos are now being exhibited at 3 simultaneous galleries: Hasted Hunt Kraeutler in NYC, Nicholas Metivier Gallery in Toronto, and The Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

If you’ve never been introduced to Burtynsky’s large-format works of art, then this is a subject matter to start your explorations in.
