Chris Jordan - Midway

Midway is a photographic project by Chris Jordan, featuring his work cataloguing dead baby albatrosses from the Midway atoll in the Pacific ocean.  As you can see in the photographs, the albatrosses choke to death on plastic rubbish from the ocean which is mistakenly fed to them as food by their parents.  It is truly shocking to see bottle tops, lighters and other rubbish in the stomachs of these birds.  Another reason to take every bit of plastic off our beaches.
