Chris Jordan



Recently, photographer Chris Jordan was a guest on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report. I've seen his name pop up quite a few places, so I thought he may be worth putting up here for people to look at.

His work deals with the effects of our mass consumptive society, among other things, his series "Running the Numbers: An American Self Portrait" is pretty amazing if you ask me.
