Can you guess what this is?
How ’bout now?
What about now?
It’s 2.3 million folded prison uniforms, equal to the number of Americans incarcerated in 2005. It’s also an example of Chris Jordan’a photography.

Eric Ray Davidson
Eric Ray Davidson is a photographer. I don’t really know a whole lot more about him than that. I don’t know who the people in his photographs are. I don’t know where you can find them. I do know they are rich and lush. They have a narrative quality to them that inspires wonder. The people in his portraits fell directly out of love stories. Spend a little time looking at these pictures. You’ll be better off for it.
Hint Magazine
Hint Magazine is a great site for staying on top of the fashion industry. The multimedia pictorials are filled with top notch photography and design. Come for the photography and stay for the book + music + art reviews. Right now they’ve got an interview with Harold Koda, chief of the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute, and MR. the cooky Japanese artist. It’s that range and diversity that makes Hint a delight to read. The articles are well researched and the darn thing is just pretty to look at.
Urban Dirty
Urban Dirty is my favorite kind of website.
1.) It has a specific purpose and focus.
2.) It’s well built, and it always works.
3.) It provides great content for FREE.
A must resource for visual designers and artists, Urban Dirty is a free grunge-texture stock photography site. Download all the great grunge textures you want and go to town.
