Dave Jordano: Early 35mm Work from Detroit 1972. The wonderful Dave Jordano has been a long time observer of Detroit, the city where he was born and traversed with a 35mm as a student, onto a 4×5, and today uses digital capture to document the changing landscape of a city in flux. On February 3rd, I will be featuring a new project on Detroit that Dave will be exhibiting at the United Photo Industries Gallery in Brooklyn.

It has been a privilege to have this week’s photographers share their early work, and as Dave comments, it can be a somewhat cathartic experience to go through your older work and recognize how connected it is to today. Dave was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1948 received his degree in photography from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit in 1974. After moving to Chicago in 1977 he established a successful freelance commercial photography studio for 30 years.

Specializing in food and product photography, he shot major campaigns for national and international clients. 16 Stunning Photos of 1920s Ziegfeld Girls.

Born in Japan, Chino Otsuka spent her childhood travelling around the world and has the photographs to prove it. As an art project, Otsuka photoshopped her adult self into those childhood photos, often returning to the place where the original photograph was taken in order to give the resulting art work a genuine feel. Otsuka’s artistic, imaginative images of herself as both child and adult are endearing, because they give a visual reference to every human being’s relationship with themselves. She has called this project “Imagine Finding Me” and introduces it with the words, “If, again I have the chance to meet, there is so much I want to ask, and so much I want to tell.” The photos are appealing in that they give the impression that the artist has travelled through time to spend a few moments hanging out with herself as a child.

Chino Otsuka lives in the UK and is involved in a variety of artistic pursuits. Chino Otsuka poses with her childhood self outside a shop in Paris, France. - StumbleUpon. World War II.
