I ran across Dave Jordano’s work last week while viewing the book set 6×6 published by the Society of Photographers. Dave has several amazing projects shot in and around Chicago. The image above is from the project Simple Faith.

Gus Powell - Look at this Photo

When I receive the New Yorker I flip to view the Cartoon Caption Contest, then quickly flip to the Goings on About Town. Fifty percent of the time Gus Powell has an image published on this page. His images are always a highlight. It’s hard to say that I have a favorite Powell image, but the one above always absorbs my interest. I love mystery in an image and this particular photograph is full of it.

It’s hard to pick a favorite Larry Sultan photograph. If I were forced to make a choice I would have to select the one above. Everything about this image is perfect. I wish I could get my hands on Sultan’s book Pictures from Home. It surprises me that it has never been re-released. I also wish I would have purchased The Valley when I had the chance.

Taking an idea from Justin James Reed and Amy Stein, I have started a new category to spotlight an individual photograph that I can’t stop looking at. This weeks image belongs to Jesse Chehak.
