Andrea Schwartz Gallery: Peter Combe - Stars & Stripes

Comment by AB: Originally from Canada, Peter Combe is now an American citizen. He tells me that when he initially reflected on who Americans revere the most, the answer to him was clear-- Hollywood movie stars. These golden-age-of-film portraits are an ode to that. For those of you keeping score at home, they're made entirely from small paper circles of color hand-punched from paint swatch samples. Worth seeing.

RayKo Photo Center: Detroit, Unbroken Down - Dave Jordano

Comment by AB: Detroit has had more than it's fair share of problems over the past several decades, but as former Detroit native Dave Jordano's eloquent sensitive portrait photographs attest, the spirit of the city is alive and well and continues to flourish. Stop on by.
