Shameful Self-Promotion: New Editorial Portfolio

Indulge me a moment of shameful self-promotion to mention some new works I've recently added on the www.gregruffing.com

I've updated the Editorial gallery with a revised selection of photos (including outtakes) from commissioned work and miscellaneous personal projects, and tossed a few previously-unseen images into the evolving edit of my ongoing Yard Sales series as well.

The editorial images have really been a culmination of the past 5-6 years documenting this region (call it the Rust Belt, Middle West, Breadbasket, Fly-Over Country, Heartland, Midwest -- whatever nickname you prefer). I consider much of that documentation to be a socioeconomic survey of life, love, family, land, work, and play, in this region, particularly in the realities of the modern economy.
Hope you'll take a few minutes to check out the new stuff, and tell someone about it.
