A friend of mine blogged today about photography—his own photography, and the photography of an artist he admires, Alex Webb. I'd never heard of Webb, who is known for his street photography, his use of color, his layering of emotion. Here are a few of Webb's images. I want to learn more about him, see more of his work. As he puts it, "I'm always playing along that line: adding something more, yet keeping it short of chaos." Thanks for the introduction, Greg. (The following are chosen entirely at random from what appears to be an unending corpus.)

Alex Webb was just another documentary photographer when he was shooting in monochrome. But he had some sort of awakening when he traveled to Mexico and the Caribbean; everything was SO colorful. He abandoned b&w and turned into an extraordinary photographer.
