I cam across this jewel collection of photos one morning. John Maloof bought her collection of prints and negatives, however, only to discover that she passed away only days before his enquiry. The photos are simply captivating, during a time of Chicago that is now in the history books. Beautiful memories.

Photojournalist, Wang Jiuliang, has been documenting the wastes around Beijing over the past years. As China emerges into the world’s new consumer power, it is also experiencing the growing pains that comes with this growth. The realities of modern living is that we are actually besieged by our own waste. How will this effect not only our future generations, but perhaps in our own times? Below, is also a Google Map which Wang has plotted out, a disturbing picture for the residents of Beijing.

I recently checked out the work of photojournalist Jocelyn Bain Hogg for his collection of photos that document a society obsessed with celebrity culture. While browsing Idols+Believers, I revisited a piece that left a stronger impression on me. This particular set entitled, The Firm, gives us a closer look into the world of organized crime in the UK. Bain Hogg spent four years alongside the men and women of the British underworld offering them a chance to be represented as honestly as possible. The foundation of their relationships – that loyalty must remain their foremost concern – becomes very apparent through the photographs. The whole book is in B&W as are the lives of the subjects depicted. The following photos are some of my favorites. Enjoy.
