In two recent posts, I included photographs by Edward Burtynsky. One featured his images of mines and oil fields; the other featured his images of massive recycling efforts. In this post, I feature his images of factory life in China.

I just finished reading “Factory Girls” by Leslie T. Chang, I’d definitely recommend it! After reading about the scale of these factories the pictures have an even stronger impact.
