Jason Evans has another website, TheDailyNice.com which shows one photograph at a time for a span of 24 hours. After the photograph has been shown on the website, it is gone – never to be seen again. I love how Evans takes a photograph, something that literally represents an exact moment in time and makes the very materiality of the image, ephemeral as well.

I blame living in New York City for my new found interest in looking at any and all street photography.

For the past month I have been working with a group on curating a hypothetical exhibition as part of  a project for my grad program. Here are two artists (out of nine) from our exhibition, Consume THIS! Excess, Infatuation and the Entertainment Industry.
