Seeing the Bigger Picture
Chris Jordon combines photography with statistics. As a result, abstract numbers are turned into a concrete illustration. Many of his photographs relate to waste and consumerism. This cell phone example is particularly illuminating. The final picture shows 426,000 phones. That's how many phones are retired in the United States every single day. The actual piece is five feet tall and more than eight feet wide.

No wonder the bees are all turned around.
(I know, that's just media hype. It's probably the apiaries. Poor bees.)
