Photographing pesticides
Photographing pesticides
American photographer Laurie Turmer's Glowing Evidence is a set of photos of the presence of synthetic pesticides around us. Borrowing the technique developed by scientist to give farmworkers a more accurate picture of their pesticide exporsures (like the picture above does), Turmer photographs objects that are found around non-farmworkers daily lives: a coke can, children toys, flowers, etc.
They're kind of eerie, showing just how much we really don't see. See more at her portfolio, or read about it from Treehugger.

I am so glad to see somebody doing this! People don't worry so much about invisible dangers. Making them visible is a great idea! Eerie, awesome and important work. I hope the public becomes more aware of the problem.
