Large Numbers In Visual Format

June 21st, 2008 Gennaro Brooks-Church

Here is an interesting clip by Chris Jordan. He shows statistics in his photos in an effort to help us connect to the huge numbers. 2.3 million US prison inmates is just too big of a number for us to grasp. But when you see 2.3 million prison uniforms it makes more sense to our visual mind.

Did you know over a thousand US citizens die of cigarette related disease EACH DAY??
Or that one quarter of all the prisoners in the world are in the US. The Home of the Free actually isn’t that fee after all. Especially if you are a black man - there are more black men in jail than in college….they are getting a free education but it ain’t exactly the right one.

Nigel Dickinson - cool photographer

Roma Woman - Nigel Dickenson

Nigel Dickenson is a cool photographer. I think he is almost as good as me! OMG!

He has some great photos of Roma. If I had to describe the difference between his style and mine it would be that my photos are a little more romantic.
