These photographs of albatross chicks were made just a few weeks ago on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. The nesting babies are fed bellies-full of plastic by their parents, who soar out over the vast polluted ocean collecting what looks to them like food to bring back to their young. On this diet of human trash, every year tens of thousands of albatross chicks die on Midway from starvation, toxicity, and choking.
To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent.
This is not nice.

So I started an actual tumblr blog recently—as opposed to treating this wordpress blog like a cheap version of one. I just felt like doing my own thing on the side and conveying a different vibe with it, I guess. The images posted are meant to sort of flow together. Basically it’s all just eye candy with a bit of music. Any deeper meaning behind the content (if any exists), is open to interpretation. Click here to visit and I encourage you to start your own if you haven’t already. Flash blogging on any other platform doesn’t even come close.
