Jeff Brouws

Jeff Brouw's body of work forms a meditation on the changing American landscape. His views of America transition chronologically from quirky and nostalgic typologies (freshly painted houses, road-side '40's and '50's signage) to images with the ability to induce a more critical view on contemporary iconography (strip malls, fast food). His most recent work, The Discarded Landscape, contains lots of nice post-industrial scenery.

Dave Jordano



I just found out about Dave Jordano. His documentary project, "Articles of Faith", is a mixture of portraits and environment photos made in African-American storefront churches. An interview with Dave Jordano about himself and the project can be found here. Be sure to check out the series "Prairyland" as well.

Bruce Davidson

"...the subway could be excruciatingly beautiful. It could be the sexiest environment I’ve ever been in; we can’t go into details but the subway can really be sexy. At that time, about 1980, the trains were running poorly. They were very unsafe, there were a lot of muggers, there was graffiti written all over the place. I think the city was in default at that time, also. It was a chaotic, neurotic, pathetic time."

Davidson was eventually mugged while making this series riding the subway with all his equipment throughout the night. He describes the graffiti surrounding many of his subjects as "the hieroglyphics of anxiety, of anger, of frustration." Check out the entire series, it's very intense.
