About the Photographer

David Kressler (b. 1968, U.S.)
Most of my work deals with how humans change the landscape to meet their needs, hopes, and desires. The artists I photographed are also concerned with how we change the planet in ways and on a scale never before possible. Modern technologies help us to migrate, explore, and make new discoveries. They shrink the distance between places and people and diffuse ideas across the globe. They bring together communities, provide connections to home, and even make political escape and refuge possible.
