White Album

Hollywood shutterbug, Sebastian Copeland has published a stunning book of photographs called Antarctica, The Global Warning. No doubt the film industry background explains the 'trailer' for the book, which is definitely worth watching. The imagery truly is wonderful. But I have to confess, I'm always a little conflicted over the whole ecorazzi thing, where the rich and famous tell us all how easy it is to change the world. On the one hand, you know, I'm glad they're on board given the influence they have. On the other hand, aren't these the very same folks whose lavish lifestyles and whose 'art' have helped fuel our ultra-consumerist culture? Yeah, I know: I should just get over it, but while I'm at it, I can't resist comparing / contrasting these two images of the photographer -- one from the about the author page on the book site, the other from his personal site.
