I love the atmosphere of this shot. There was a mixup in settings on the camera, and this shot is better in B&W as a result. I think it works.

 

Don't worry, the kids's parents are off-screen. He's not alone, though at this moment, I don't think he cares.

 

Enniscrone, Co. Sligo. Oct 21, 2006.

On Jun. 15, students attending the various classes at Exploration Academy at Blalack Middle School experienced learning in fun new ways. The Science WOW! class did an experiment with dry ice and bubbles, documenting their findings. The Tabula Digital class learned math concepts in first-person video games. In A Taste of the World, students created and sampled dishes from around the globe and at the end of the summer, will leave with a book of recipes. Other students worked in clay, colored dominos, and work in various art mediums.

We rose from hotel beds in Flagstaff and set out for the final push home. The route we took from Flagstaff back to Chicago was about 1,800 miles long, and we were running out of time. We eventually decided to do the whole thing in one big push.

 

It started out on the southern edge of the Colorado plateau, through a generally flat region dotted by distant mountains and mesas. This is all flatland sediment, the kind of arrangement where you wouldn't be surprised to see drilling rigs. I've never looked it up, so I don't know if there's anything here that makes the cost of drilling worth it. This is the only rig we saw, and I would think it's probably looking for water.

URBAN EARTH is a project to (re)present our habitat by walking across some of Earth's biggest urban areas. The media distorts the way we see our world(s) with stereotypical images highlighting the most extremes of places. URBAN EARTH aims to expose what our cities really look like away from the bias and spin of commercial agendas.

 

URBAN EARTH: MEXICO CITY was created over three days in July 2008 and is made up of over 6,400 images... one for every 8 steps of the walk (roughly).

 

URBAN EARTH is a movement that anyone can join - just find an urban area and walk across it. URBAN EARTH is an opportunity for adventure, exploration, freedom, community activism and dialogue. Find out more at www.urbanearth.co.uk and join the URBAN EARTH social network.

 

URBAN EARTH ROUTES

 

Geography is more important than many people think. A random route across a city may expose many things, but an URBAN EARTH walk is special because it attempts to reveal what a city is like for the people who live in it. URBAN EARTH is not about following the tourist trail or tracking down the most extreme places... it is about finding normality.

 

The route was carefully designed to show the distribution of wealth within the city. For example where the poorest 20% of the population might occupy 14% of urban space, roughly 14% of the walk travels through these most deprived areas. The length of the walk is also propotionate to the size of the city. Where possible the route also travels through areas with the greatest population densities.

“In 2008, the world reaches an invisible but momentous milestone: For the first time in history, more than half its human population, 3.3 billion people, will be living in urban areas. By 2030, this is expected to swell to almost 5 billion. Many of the new urbanites will be poor. Their future, the future of cities in developing countries, the future of humanity itself, all depend very much on decisions made now in preparation for this growth.” STATE OF THE WORLD POPULATION REPORT 2007
