It takes 8 gallons of water to grow a tomato; 616 gallons to make a burger patty.

Photography historian Ellen Manchester and the photographers--Mark Klett, Terry Evans, Laurie Brown, Peter Goin, Robert Dawson, Martin Stupich, Gregory Conniff, and Wanda Hammerbeck--address the question: How can photography contri...
