"I want to fall in love with pictures, expecting heartbreak in return." --Sam McKinniss

I just now found Sam McKinnis's work while looking through the current West Prize applicants (I'm among them), and was pretty taken with them. He doesn't seem to have a website, but I did find these on East Village Boys, which were two of my favorites anyhow.

James D. Griffioen

Images from James D. Griffioen's "Lost Neighborhoods" project, found via Brian Ulrich's blog Not If But When.

Melanie Schiff

I thought my recent obsession with all things Melanie Schiff was just a phase, but after seeing her print at the MCA this weekend and buying her catalog at Kavi Gupta while in Chicago, my obsession is thoroughly cemented. I am in love. Swoooon. Here are a few choice images I had previously overlooked.



If you don't know her work already, check out the rest here. It's totally worth it.

Lisa Lindvay

Too many amazing images on Lisa Lindvay's website to pick just 3. This really makes me want to apply to Columbia College's MFA.

GENIUS.

Oh my god this is beautiful.
