Albert Watson’s portrait of Michael Jackson is currently on display at the Brooklyn Museum (one of my favorite museums in NYC!) in the “Who Shot Rock & Roll” exhibit until January 31, 2010. It’s a very large print at 96″ x 58″ and you can get a better sneak peek at it PDN.

The White House Photo Office released this official Obama family portrait today taken by Annie Leibovitz in the White House Green Room. In the photo Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama are seen smiling with their two daughters, Sasha and Malia. If you want to see the photo bigger, you can do so on Flickr.

For its latest stunt, Improv Everywhere set up a photo studio inside a Subway car and convinced people that the MTA commissioned them to take photos of all passengers for use in a year book to be published at the end of the year.
Some folks were happy to oblige and some of the results of the makeshift studio can be seen in the portraits below. Nice!

Joey is the most cooperative model I’ve ever shot and I think that’s why I like taking photos of him.

Yesterday, somebody asked me for a self-portrait. Today, I unearthed one from my archives. This one was taken May 21, 2008.

Please stop what you’re doing right now and take some time out to look at the work of photographer Tadd Myers who photographed people in America making goods with their hands.
In this day and age where many goods and services are being outsourced to other countries, to find and see American artisans in their natural element is incredibly powerful and moving. There’s a sense of profound quality in hand-made goods in the USA that just don’t seem to emanate from products imported from overseas and Tadd Myers does an excellent job of capturing the increasingly rare occurrence of such an artist within the US.
Make sure you download the PDF of the photos here (PDF).
