Photo: Naoya Hatakeyama

Japanese photographer Naoya Hatakeyama has been chronicling limestone operations since the early 1980′s. In 1995, using remote controlled cameras, he started taking pictures of blasting operations used in limestone quarries. The result is an awesome display of the power and destruction required for mining these materials.
