I've never really done a Photo Spotlight before, but I've really been enjoying the photos over at artcoup (www.artcoup.com) for quite some time.
The photos, displayed in a flash environment, are never short of amazing. I'm completely blown away each time I visit his site.
They are often quite bleak, portraying the streets of Brooklyn (by means of crack, gangs, protests, subways, skinheads, etc) in a way rarely seen from the outside.
It's amazing how beautiful his shots can be, when faced with such ugly content.
Here's to you, Boogie.

"Who said you had to take photos of beautiful things to make beautiful photos?" -my point exactly.
On a different note, Sorry to spotlight him again, I totally didn't realize someone else already had.

He's worth spotlighting twice.
