State Fairs, an annual American ritual, are a willingly accepted assault on the senses--visual, acoustic, gastric (fried beer the latest delicacy)--and a voluntary yielding of personal space to strangers.

"Chadbourne, like David Foster] Wallace does in prose, brings back amazing images in his signature, close-up style. With his wide-angle lens and flamboyant use of color he finds the kinds of insanely tight juxtapositions that bring to life the crash and chaos, not to mention the pressing humanity, that is the true experience of a fair at full frenzy."--Bill...

As an Ukrainian who was born and raised in the former Soviet Union and resides in the United States, this is the second time that Dima Gavrysh lives in a country that was fighting a war in Afghanistan.

The United States is seeing historic change regarding marijuana: a fundamental shift is in motion between those who seek to keep it illegal and the overwhelming populist appeal for legal reform. For decades, farmers in northern California have had to operate in secret, hiding their gardens from law enforcement. But as new legal markets have begun to emerge, marijuana agriculture is moving into plain view; the country, some are saying, is experiencing a "Green Rush."

Grassland offers a view of this world, peeking beneath the towering redwoods of Humboldt County, an epicenter of...

These photographs are not about the t-shirt per se. The messages are combinations of pictures and words that reveal much about the identity of the wearer. They tell who these people are and who they aren't, who they want to be and what they want us to know about them. They advertise their hopes, ideals, political views, and personal mantras.

This radicalism has nothing to do with modernist overkill. Dibbets did not merely go further than...
