[Chris · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was the state of the game in 1990. 18 years on and some of these pictures have lost their impact. They're just too common. These images are beautiful in places, especially when showing what could be lost, and horrifying, as when we see photographs of factories with very minimal environmental and safety standards.
