Last night I attended the preview of the Prix Pictet 2009 and launch of the book – Earth

The exhibition included shortlisted work by twelve of the world’s leading photographers, one of whom will receive this year’s prestigious Prix Pictet photography prize for environmental sustainability.

The Prix Pictet is an annual search for photographs that communicate powerful messages of global environmental significance under a broad theme. This year that theme is ‘earth’.

Photographers short listed for the £60,000 prize are Darren Almond, Christopher Anderson, Sammy Baloji, Edward Burtynsky, Andreas Gursky, Naoya Hatakeyama, Nadav Kander, Ed Kashi, Abbas Kowsari, Yao Lu, Edgar Martins and Chris Steele-Perkins.

It is an amazing exhibition and do try and catch it if you can - Purdy Hicks Gallery, London from 5 to 10 October.

Below are some of my favorite pictures;

I summarize the 'decoding' since it was not dependent on microscopic cross-sectional analysis of single marks but on a determination of the changing strategies involved in a complex sequence of visual, symbolic, problem-solving?This will increase your ebook's perceived value because you'll be giving your customers a way to make money with your ebook To market effectively you must make yourself repeatedly visible to potential clients and referral sources so that they get to know and trust you1

There were early 20th Century scholars who still promoted Locke's 'Tabula Rasa'8- Learn to listen The only concern here is that she likes the cats more than me!I have nothing against dogs, but I have always lived in apartments, which is much more conducive for raising cats When scientists make statements about something that happened millions of years past the have left the realm of empiricism
