EN - "Removing Mountains" by Daniel Shea is a project about mountain top removal in the Appalachians, West Virginia. Little is know about this subject because it happens away from densely populated and wealthier parts of the US. 55% of the US electricity is made by burning coal. Mountain top removal is blasting tops of the mountain range in order to get to the coal layer.
"Removing Mountains" in 2007 was the exhibit that made me think about the meaning of environmental photography. Daniel's show was made possible by the Meyer's Travelling Fellowship, granted each year to a MICA photo undergrad student based on a proposal and portfolio review. I submitted my proposal about mass tourism in 2009.
Изложбата на "Преместени Планини" през 2007 ме накара да мисля за значението на фото документалистиката свързана с околната среда. Даниел създаде проекта със субсидия от фондацията на Джанис Мейер, давана всяка година чрез конкурс на един студент специалност фотография в Мерилендския Институт. Кандисдатствах през 2009 с проекта за презастрояването.
