Chris Jordan Photographic Arts | 'Running the Numbers' - An American Self Portrait


Chris Jordan is an American photographic artist, his work has received international awards and recognition. One of his more recent projects was 'Running the Numbers' - An American Self Portrait, which is a series of images that looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics...

I highly recommend that you take a few minutes to browse through the rest of the images in this project (link) as well as Chris' other works... visit http://www.chrisjordan.com - enjoy!
