A Photographer Captures Earth as a Strange New World:⁠
Inspired by an 18th-century naturalist, Christopher Edward Rodriguez set out to document our climate-changed planet with fresh eyes. In 1799 German naturalist and explorer Alexander von Humboldt set off on a trip through the Americas, cataloging all he could find: plants, minerals, capybaras, canals, etc. Humboldt proposed that the world was “one great living organism where everything was connected”—a theory that would inspire Charles Darwin. He introduced the concept of ecosystems and was among the first naturalists to note humanity’s destructive impact on Earth. In 2017, photographer Christopher Edward Rodriguez came across Humboldt’s writings. He’d been thinking about what a camera can really see when nearly every inch of the planet has been “shaped, directed, and photographed to death.” He adopted Humboldt’s ideas and set off across the Americas to create a series of images that show the planet “as if it’s never been seen before.” He used long exposures, artificial lighting, and colored gels to “circumvent the camera’s scientific accuracy.” His aim for the photographs was to convey a mood of “consistent strangeness,” one that embodies a forgotten tenet of Humboldt’s: “Everything is interaction and reciprocal.”⁠

Here’s an old cottonwood in a Montana gulch and what i think are oyster mushrooms growing off its trunk. They were a few wildflowers at its mouth and some intense lichen covering most of the nearby rock by @chrisrod_studio

Drove through the Widemouth 2 fire in Utah this July and snapped a couple along the highway. It has burned almost 130,000 acres and is still smoldering. Images were taken in succession looking east and west. taken in Kanosh, Utah by @chrisrod_studio

Some outtakes from hiking the grand canyon with @haikstudio last year, spent a few hot days and cooler nights exploring from the south rim to down to Colorado and back. I learned that it likely formed in series of catastrophic bursts, it’s deepest rocks are almost 2 billion years old and that its part of a sequence of regions in the Colorado Plateau connecting Zion, Grand Staircase, and Bryce Canyon. We ‘ve got another trip coming up this October im really looking forward to. taken in Grand Canyon, AZ by @chrisrod_studio
