Through his ongoing project Changing Perspectives, Jamey Stillings explores our complicated history as a fossil fuel–dependent society now shifting toward renewable energy. His aerial photographs both inspire and raise challenging questions about land and resource use, while revealing differing perspectives and contradictions within the environmental movement, energy industry, and local communities. Stillings's previous projects include The Bridge at Hoover Dam, The Evolution of Ivanpah Solar, and documenting the construction of the Bausch & Lomb building (1994–95) in downtown Rochester during his nineteen years in the city.
