Photographer Chris Jordan on his Midway Project

I’m a huge fan of the work of a friend of mine, photographer Chris Jordan. His work is both subtle and bold, timely and timeless. Among other things, it beautifully (albeit tragically) explores human consumerism/consumption and the resulting detriments to the planet. From his work, we get a sense of freedom to grieve this predicament, but also a motivation toward change and inspired cause-based activism. The above video is a short chronicle of Chris’ midway project–a heavy, but brilliant undertaking.

This interview is the work of a longtime filmmaker buddy, Riley Morton, and is the first step in a collaboration between myself and Riley where we get together and–via my curation of subjects and his interviews–tell short stories about interesting people in our professional circles. It’s my hope that you’ll like learning about Chris and his work. If this idea catches on, I’d like to do more of these with other folks too.

More of Chris’ work here.

    After looking over a number of the articles on your web page, I honestly like your technique of writing a blog. I added it to my bookmark site list and will be checking back in the near future. Take a look at my website too and tell me what you think.

    When will the full documentary be out???. I have shown about 100 of the middle years students at my school a few videos like this one. On the garbage patch and “a journey of a plastic bag”. It is beginning to make a difference to our immediate school environment. Slowly. It’s the adults that need to pick up the crusade too…. Chris Jordan has already made a huge difference in making us aware. We – the global we – need to do the rest and not see it as someone bigger’s problem, but our own. OIL spills are something we all get upset about but essentially are something we directly can’t do a damn thing about and pale into environmental insignificance compared to this. Ironic that oil is used to make plastic. I tell my kids a handful of rubbish picked up a day saves one bird a week. A handful a day dropped kills one painfully… Help fly or make them die…
