Jesse says: “The photos in my series ‘Don’t Just Tell Them, Show Them’ are a visual reaction to encounters in my daily travels. For me, it’s about searching for the unusual in the ordinary – an ambiguity that lies just below the surface.

“Set in the environment of everyday, this series aims to explore the banality of modern day existence through themes of abandonment, suburbia and daily rituals.”

Our first selection this week is a piece from William Wegman that cannot fail to raise a smile:

Sixty of  Wegman’s photos are currently on show at Edinburgh’s City Art Centre until October 24, alongside ‘Life Work’ - 100 vintage prints by Edward Weston from all phases of his career.

Today’s pick is ‘Pay to Display’ an article from the BJP which discusses whether graduation photography shows have “had their day”.

As an aside, it’s surprising how many photography students don’t seem to have a proper online portfolio site.

Our first pick this week is a selection from a Denver Post blog post: ‘Captured: America in Color from 1939-1943′.

There are 70 images in the post, and many will be familiar to anyone who has browsed the work of FSA photographers within the Library of Congress collection.

At the start of each month we feature a photography classic. Somewhat belatedly this month we feature a photo from Garry Winogrand.
