My initial response to the collective images relating to the work of Ed Burtynsky (Pentimento) is that the main content is based around the broken down pieces of what appears to be a ship of some sort, I assume a cargo ship perhaps due to the sheer size of the ship its self, I personally think that the ship was abandoned therefore no longer eligible for use which would explain why in one of the images it shows the scrap pieces of the ship; from that i can infer that the scraps from the ship of been broken down further for scrap metal of prosily melting for other purposes as a resource material.
Further more the fact that the photographer has chosen to present his images in black and white. From this particular aspect I have identified I can convey the fact that due to the time period at that moment the factor of colour images was not available hence why the photographer has included the use of dark borders in his work to increase the uses of black and whites to achieve a more contrasted appeal possibly.
