Analysis through Ariel Photography

Alex Maclean is an aerial photographer who uses his photography to analyse the urban landscape.

There is a video of him giving a lecture about his photography and work which you can watch for free (http://www.openculture.com/freeonlinecourses).

 One of the interesting things he mentions in his lecture is that the US is obsessed with its lawn space.
