This week we’ve travelled to early 80’s Baltimore, encountering the transgressive mindset of John Waters’ campy films. Photographer Kaitlin Jencso frames the back-alley of a city synonymous with Waters in a manner that emulates the grunge and harshness of the filmmaker, showcasing the city’s intriguing and alluring grit.
Ooh—this photo is satiating. Photographers and artists are gifts to society—they look up and down finding new ways of seeing a scene. Here Flickr user ep_jhu spies upon those below framing them in a grey box surrounded by blue rectangles. The lights create a cool flow of luminosity making me feel like I am looking down to the ocean floor.

I realized I don’t feature traditional style portraits very often. But when I see a gorgeous image on my screen sometimes it changes my whole Monday In Frame plan. In James Jackson’s image, the woman’s coy expression, and the way in which her hair falls softly with slight movement, embodies a demure moment in a somewhat gritty scene. It creates a cinematic quality that makes me want to know more about this ingénue.

When I first saw this image by John Benevelli, I imagined that the Army men were holding the colorful strings of balloons. I know they are not, but still this image makes me smile–what a nice capture.
I love a good humorous image. Mike Maguire spotted a fun little metro surprise while catching the train.
