Giving Inches And Breathtaking Miles

Luke Gilford

Many of Luke Gilford's projects are so visually vivid and homogeneously devouring that when looking through one set to the next, I tend to mash them up: swirling them together, as if I am a fork running in circles on a plate without dividers.

It Sure Is Something

American Suburb X

Paul Kwiatkowski's photo essay, "And Every Day Was Overcast," resembles a high school yearbook. But it's much dirtier and it's much, much stickier.

The Resistance

TIME

I was going to write a review praising the photo coverage from the NY Times’ all-star team on the frontlines in Libya. It’s so good, it almost redeems the shitty contract they offer their freelancers. Then I came across Yuri Kozyrev’s work.

Porno Pirates

Noah Kalina

Noah Kalina treats us to a flip book of internet and sex with his images of empty hotel rooms solely illuminated by laptops and his long exposed motions of maybe one person getting off, or the indistinct shapes of sex between two.

Shh, Tell Me Again

YangTan

Someone recently turned me onto this photog, YangTan, and I turned myself onto said photog's project, "Women's Secret II." I guess I'm a bit late to his fantastic game, as his portfolio locks in some major enterprise, but I am not yet reluctant to knock that glitter off your shoulders.
