Then there is this, something i first noticed a few days back, pre coughing pig death and its held my fascination relentlessly since. I have a medical background, as a young child growing up the son of a doctor I was never a stranger to hospitals, broken bone depicting x-rays and all sorts of case talk during dinner. Even then i hated it, my stomach was always sensitive and paired with a vivid imagination…well you can imagine. Years back when Faces of Death came out I am the only one on the planet who refused to watch it, refused to think about it and so forth…

I am putting this up merely to point out the obvious…something really not squeamish even to me, the lightest of nauseous souls. In actuality it kind of makes me want to take those two words off the top of my blog: “a gyre”. Follow the link:
look at what we have done…

Midway
Message from the Gyre

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.
