I got an email this morning from a photographer with the subject "Possibly the world's longest photograph". I'm not one for world records, but superlatives always get me. I wasn't 100% sure I wanted to cover the world's longest photo. That's why we have the Guiness Book of World Records, right??

Thankfully, my curiosity was piqued, because Dutch photographer Simon Hoegsberg has some amazing work in his portfolio. My favorite project -- Faces Of New York -- epitomizes Hoegsberg's work: it's real, it's personal, and his subjects straddle the extraordinary/ordinary line that's not easy to find. And let's not forget, his seemingly quickie outdoor portraits have a look that's more art than street photography.

"Once in a while I see a person on the street who immediately attracts my attention. I’m fascinated by the appearance of the person and feel a strong urge to walk over and say hi.

"I spent one month, seven hours a day, walking the streets of New York in search for people who had this effect on me. I found ten, and asked each of them the same question: What do you think about your face?" The pics and the responses rock. Check out the project here.

Back to that mammoth photo. The name alone is so me: We're All Gonna Die - 100 meters of existence. I used to have a joke with my friends that I wanted to be type cast as the guy who runs around in action thrillers yelling "We're all going to die!!" Is that fate or what?

Hoegsberg spent 17 months making the 100 meters long panaramic photo that includes images of 178 passers-by. As with his other work, the concept revolves around the uniqueness of 'ordinary' people. Love love love. Check it out here.

Other projects include Dance Dance Dance, Private & Public, Copenhagen / Istanbul, and Professional Fury, which has some really cool band pics (see below).
