i think that would be the next amazing world wonder, trumping everything else before it.

But at least you recognize that it has always been in our nature to embark on such garish displays of conspicuous consumption, as far back as history records. I suppose the biggest difference between now and then is the increasingly scarce availability of resources which makes our modern wasteful endeavors seem all the more suspect. It would be nice to see these seemingly vapid enterprises use some of their wealth to pioneer the field of reusable/renewable resources to ensure their own, and everyone else’s, future viability.
Loved the photos! Disney Sea looks fascinating. I’ve always appreciated Disney’s eerie ability to emulate through detail in a way that produces something that feels “synthetically authentic.” A lot of what you captured in your photos reminds me of the art direction in BioShock, which is just superb. Wish I could go!
