The amount of plastic objects that we are finding inside of the albatross carcasses that cover Midway Island is so shocking that it might be hard to believe.
As soon as we landed on the island, we all agreed to adhere to a strict work ethic that is summarized in these three rules:
- No plastic added. We never add any additional plastic to any images or compositions. What you’ll see it what was there.
- No rearranging. The plastic contents of the rib cages are not rearranged in any way.
- OK to remove. We allow ourselves to occasionally remove from the frame a few objects that might obstruct the view, such as twigs, feathers, grass leaves, or pieces of plastic from the top layer.
Chris Jordan explains these rules in more detail in the following video.
