A Message From Midway (Please share)
This newly released video you are about to watch is a collaboration between acclaimed photographer and artist Chris Jordan and myself, and its content is emotional, impactful, and most of all, revealing about our legacy as a species. As part of the Midway Journey project/film, these photographs were taken in one of the most remote places on the planet, Midway Atoll. Please watch, please share and help spread the word of this shocking information.
From Chris Jordan:
“These photographs of albatross chicks were made in September 2009 on Midway Atoll, a tiny stretch of sand and coral near the middle of the North Pacific. To document this phenomenon as faithfully as possible, not a single piece of plastic in any of these photographs was moved, placed, manipulated, arranged, or altered in any way. These images depict the actual stomach contents of baby birds in one of the world’s most remote marine sanctuaries, more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent.”
based on the music on this youtube vid, i just bought your album on amazon; really beautiful stuff with a piercing emotional impact. keep on your path.
would love to hear you play around this way with some of the traditional stuff like Harold en Italie. wishing you success
Difficult to watch, and yet impossible to turn away from. I don’t know that it was the desired reaction, but I find this video hope-filled… if small pieces of plastic can have such a devastating impact for these albatross, then surely our small efforts the world over can little by little help to reverse it, one albatross at a time.
