Portrait series on former LA gang members
I was looking at a documentary recently about jails in the US and the gangs that rule inside. One group was the Latino crew. So I went online looking for more info and photos and stumbled upon this series of portraits of former LA gang members. The photographer Adam Amengual shot the series for Homeboy Industries, a non-profit organisation in LA helping these former gang members establish a new life. Read more
Crazy guys making beautiful things. Raar means ‘strange’ in Dutch and this word is their central point of gravity with everything they do. Oh and purple must be their favorite colour.
Famous people photographed in their homes
Taking a look in other people houses is something we all like to do, especially when those people are famous, well-known or just plain interesting to known. Todd Selby — aka The Selby — takes creative portraits of famous people by photograping them in their home or working place.

Last week when the 2008 ARIA nominations were released, I was so happy to see the recognition of Melbourne’s Eddy Current Suppression Ring. Their album Primary Colours is pure, unadulterated Aussie rock, standing out from the numerous electro releases we’ve had this year.
