Published last year as a book, The Oxford Project actually began in 1984 when Peter Feldstein undertook the remarkable task of photographing nearly every resident of his town, Oxford, Iowa (pop. 670). Over two decades later, Feldstein did it again, re-photographing as many original residents as possible. This time he was joined by writer Stephen G. Bloom, who compiled their words into poignant first-person narratives that accompany the portraits. The result is a collection of fascinating stories - visual and written - that connect decades and provide a glimpse of life in small-town America.

Incredible photos from Tim Simmons. His landscapes, bathed in light, shot at night or dusk, have an otherworldly quality. Don’t know what’s more amazing – the photography, the location or the post production. It’s a shame to see the photos that small on a screen, though. Would love to see his exhibition.

Even if this style of product presentation – pressed in starch/flour – is not new, I still like it a lot. These shots for Muse magazine are from Mitchell Feinberg, who has been shooting luxury still life for over fifteen years, distinguishing himself as one of the world’s premier jewelry and accessory photographers.

Inspired by the idea that one of the greatest gifts one generation can pass to another is the wisdom it has gained from experience, the Wisdom project by Andrew Zuckerman, produced with cooperation from Archbishop Desmond Tutu, seeks to create a record of a multicultural group of people who have all made their mark on the world. Presented against the same white space, all of the subjects are removed from their context, which not only democratizes them, but also allows for a clear dialogue to exist among them. In an attempt to create a more profound, honest and truly revealing portrait of these luminaries, the project encompasses their voices, their physical presence, and the written word. This comprehensive portrayal of such a profound and global group is an index of extraordinary perspectives.
