Think differently about consumption

Chris Jordon’s current work, Running the numbers - An American Self Portrait, allows us to think quite differently about our consumption by marrying photographic work with statistics. I wish he was showing this in London, I would love to view the actual works as I believe they would be striking.

Truth is there is little in the way of photography restrictions enshrine in law when it comes to photography in a public place. As a rule of...
• Conversations with A Yard Man (Pt I)
  A "Yard man" is a Jamaican. Another term frequently used to describe Jamaicans is "Yardie", but that has recently been appropriated and most people think of a Yardie as a gang member so I will use the former to refer to the man with whom I stood today in conversation with for around half hour.
