He is taking his photographs on tour and I think he replicates this TED talk as he goes around the continent talking about this absolutely horrifying thing we are not hearing about otherwise.

Check this out: http://www.ted.com/talks/garth_lenz_images_of_beauty_and_devastation

His photography website is: http://www.garthlenz.com/

According to friends of friends, the Canadian Govt follows him around, requesting he not communicate this issue so boldly. He's a brave man to stand up a trillion dollar business. We need more like him.
