If you think pinstriped suits with bold, chalky lines will make you look like a douchey 1980s Wall Street wannabe, you haven’t seen this slimmer, shorter, altogether cooler new generation. Here, New York Giants breakout Victor Cruz proves these suits have a whole new swagger.

More images displaying the lives of those in Haiti two years after the quake that devastated their capital. See a few images from the photo essay below…

Two years ago tomorrow, January 12, a catastrophic 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Port-au-Prince, Haiti, leveling thousands of structures and killing hundreds of thousands of people. Haiti, already an impoverished nation, appears in many ways to have barely started recovery 24 months later, despite more than $2 billion in foreign aid. So many homes were destroyed that temporary tent cities hastily set up throughout Port-au-Prince have begun to appear permanent — more than 550,000 people still live in the dirty and dangerous encampments throughout the Haitian capital. Schools are being rebuilt, and some residents are now beginning to move out of the encampments, rediscovering a sense of community. But jobs and a sense of security remain elusive. Gathered here are recent photos from a still-suffering Haiti, two years after the earthquake.

If you’re in NYC this evening, be sure to make it out to this. Should be a good one. Check out the details below…

If you’re in NYC this Friday, we suggest you make your way over to KIX NYC and check out a new photo exhibit by a friend we love Bobbito Garcia + his partner in crime Kevin Couliau. The dynamic duo have been hard at work putting the finishing touches on their new documentary on NYC pick-up basketball called “Doin’ it in the Park.” Instead they will exhibit those in 2012 in connection with the release of the film.

The photos are not stills from the film but rather an exploration into Gracia and Couliau’s passion of photography in the environment they know best, the b-ball courts of NYC.

Details:
K1X NYC
359 Lafayette St.
New York, NY
Friday, October 7
6:00pm – 10:00pm

About the Exhibit:
Kevin Couliau and Bobbito Garcia have been touring the NYC playgrounds for quite some time now. Whenever they were not playing ball or talking smack themselves, they took pictures and videos capturing the unique atmosphere that can only be found in the Mekka of basketball. Reason enough to highlight some of their works in an exhibition that will portrait the basketball spirit of NYC with passion and attention to detail like it has never been done before!

Radcliffe Roye is a Brooklyn based documentary photographer specializing in editorial and environmental portraits, photo-journalism and stock photography. A self taught photographer with over ten years of experience, Radcliffe is inspired by the raw and gritty lives of grass-roots people, especially those of his homeland of Jamaica. Radcliffe strives to tell the stories of their victories and ills by bringing their voices to matte fibre paper.

Recently, Radcliffe began experimenting with interpretative photography, preferring to allow the abstract content within the frame to dictate the voice and purpose of the image. His Elements series focuses on the bold, austere, graphic and emotionally raw imagery, that is trapped behind a diffused lens. With painterly abilities, Radcliffe uses this diffused methodology to subtly awake the subconscious and expose the isolated figure or vision painted within a rhetorical frame.

Jaryd Niles-Morris is a young photographer out of Barbados. Check out a few images of his work below…

A young Jaryd Niles-Morris used to fiddle around with his mum’s camera and take pictures but that was just him being inquisitive. Many years later Jaryd is now an established photographer with his work featured in local magazines and ad campaigns, as well as internationally in the UK Sunday Times and People Magazine.

Jaryd always had a love for drawing and illustrations and dabbled a bit in art, graphic design before finally settling on photography when he discovered how talented he was while at the Barbados Community College: “I like creativity. I didn’t know I was creative until my late teens.

“My love really manifested because as an illustrator I liked to draw people and interesting characters and photography just was such an instant medium. I could think it and shoot it, so I began to get into it more and more.”…
