New York photographer Joni Sternbach is a great portrait photographer. That said, she's set herself apart by taking up the lost art of the wet plate collodion, one of the first popular photography processes.
Unfortunately we can't show the entire collection, but you should check it out on her site. It's well worth the time.

Y&R won big at last Wednesday's Radio Mercury Awards. Their series of gun control spots for Mom's Demand Action won in the PSA category.
Their spots support Mom’s Demand Action’s mission to raise awareness and advance gun control reform. The spots use the “National Anthem” and “My Country” with rewritten lyrics that are sung by young Americans.
“We’ve used two songs that are part of the fabric of American life to raise awareness of the range of assault weapons that are readily available. Using a child to sing the lyrics brought it very close to home and created a new poignant context for these patriotic songs,” said Jim Elliott, CCO of Y&R New York.

This research included being embedded with Caesars' tech unit, and running several vigorous rounds of research and user testing (playing a bit of blackjack in the process) to gain deep insight into their online booking and retention challenges. Backbreaking work. Painful.
