there’s also a film about Edward Burtynsky, Manufactured Landscapes. I don’t know that I would describe it as outstanding (the filmmaker seems as interested in Burtynsky as the landscapes he photographs, which is fine, but less interesting to me), but its worth a netflix.

Yes, I do think the Finster interview is worth reading for exactly that reason. While I don’t think I agree exactly with where he draws the lines between proper appreciation and improper commodification (I would probably be more liberal than Finster in terms of what I think would be a legitimate transformation of an industrial site), I do think the arguments he make (and the drawing of that line) are important.
