Today we’re featuring Michael Jang’s series “The Jangs,” a series of family photos shot between 1972 and 1973 in the tradition of America’s best snapshot photographers. It’s really worth a look.
Here’s what I had to say about this photo:
“Jang has stuck out his arm and come away with what is, plain and simple, a Friedlanderesque moment of absurd luck. He’s managed to frame up his own body perfectly with five others, but I’m only so interested in talking about the composition of this photo. It’s perfect, what else is there to say? I’m more interested in Jang’s expression. He’s standing on a corner in San Francisco’s Financial District, looking quite dapper in his suit and shades. Of course he wouldn’t have had any idea that, 40 years on, this photograph would hang in a gallery just a few blocks away from where he was standing.”

I guess you could classify Miti Ruangkritya’s “Thai Politics” series as “political photography,” but that might not do it complete justice. This is an image from “Thai Poltiics I,” which features political t-shirts…
