Your Call 072308 Do photographs change your environmental views?

How do photographs affect your views on the environment? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with world renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky, whose work was featured in the documentary Manufactured Landscapes. Burtynsky has made it his life's work to explore and document humanity's expanding footprint and the ways in which we're reshaping the surface of the planet. Do photographs have the power to alter the way we think about the world and our place in it? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
