jpg favorite: dancing mormons

(photo by Reed Young)

For a short time a while back I would receive random visits from two Mormon gents. Ever friendly and polite, they still tended to overstay their welcome on my front porch, and well, not quite get the drift that I wasn't buying what they were selling. If only they wore red pants and danced... just maybe I would have opened my closed mind.

Reed Young is one of my favorite photographers to watch. Great portraits... people in their (un)natural settings; wonderful subtle lighting; and sometimes an additional touch of humor or the ridiculous. I love the beauty of strangeness. You can view some of his work on his jpg profile or peruse a wealth of images on his website.
