Jordana is the best neighbor I've ever had and a brilliant photographer. Her photographs are so moving and channel that spirit you see in Eggleston's work. Once you explore her website, the collection up now (Open 7 Days) will confirm this as they are stunning shots of the seemingly mundane--grocery carts, a hose, and the housekeeping touch at a Motel 6 (above). Her website is right here: http://www.jordanazeldin.com/
The image of the clothes in plastic remains my favorite. It is a bit like a memory body bag. I've always felt a story there and when it's on an exhibition wall you can really see all of the different price tags, handwriting, and the coloring is just so seductive. One day I will buy it!
This double panel shot is really lovely and reminds me of work David Hilliard does although the eye remains totally Jordana Zeldin.
Lastly, we are collaborating as I was asked to do a postcard issue for Abe's Penny. The editor was at my KGB reading. I will let you know what we decide but it's a micro-story by me accompanying four images by Jordana to make a postcard book. If you start crushing on Jordana's snaps, you can follow her blog as I do: http://hereismytoday.blogspot.com/
