Amazing Photography

The series is still in its early stages, and new images will be posted as they are completed.

Depicting 106,000 aluminum cans, equal to the number of cans consumed in the US every thirty seconds.”

“Partial zoom”

“At full size”

Chris Jordan has other equally amazing photos based on statistics on his site. Worth the visit.
