Homeland Security Collection

"Artist and political activist, John Douglas’ Homeland Security work is a chilling series of provocative photographs taken of the artist himself holding M16s naked and then duplicated on a computer. Sporting an M16 and nothing else, Douglas becomes a “one-man army” standing in for the “ugly American” impulses of the Bush administration’s unilateral “go it alone” warmongering as well as the “citizen militia” types, i.e. the ones who would lynch a census worker, armed to the teeth. Funny, disturbing and brilliant. I was really impressed by Douglas’ work. I think you’ll agree that these images are striking!" - DangerousMinds.net

Podiatrist Photographs World's Most Endangered Flowers

Jonathan Singer


"He studied photography in college and trained under the painter Ilya Bolotowsky. “But my mother wanted me to be a doctor,” says Singer, so he went to medical school. He returned to photography when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease five years ago and after he stopped performing surgery. Armed with a Hasselblad digital camera, he’s invented a new way of photographing flowers that reveals the plant form, color, and texture in remarkable detail. In a light that evokes the paintings of Dutch masters, the flowers seem to be emerging out of darkness."



Jonathan Singer's documentary approach, done with great technique, reveals these plants which he was given access to only after building an impressive portfolio of botanical photography. Some of the plants are likely some of the last in existence, and the photographs raise an awareness of this.

Its one thing to tell someone that something is rare, and its another thing to walk into a space and see one of these on the wall, and then find out more about what that flower is.
