Michael Massaia's gorgeous architectural photos:

“For Xiaodan” — Early morning portraits of tenements scattered throughout New York City’s Chinatown.

He writes that, "All images are split toned and tinted Gelatin Silver prints."

Plenty more on Massaia's site.

Roger Deakins is best known as a cinematographer, but his black-and-white still photography is quite gorgeous.

Deakins also has a film-related podcast, Team Deakins, that he co-hosts with his wife James. The great thing about the podcast is how they often interview the rarely-interviewed film professionals: cinematographers, Costume Designers, VFX people, etc.

Deakins' official site is here, but the still photography is viewable as part of The Hulett Collection.

Kumi Oguro has taken photos of segmented bodies for more than 20 years. I find them oddly compelling.

Many more on Oguru's site.

Summer Wagner's Midamerican Fever Dream is a narrative series that, surprisingly, is made of photos, not paintings.

The entire series is here. Wagner's other work can also be viewed on their site.

"Over almost a decade, Guillaume Simoneau has documented high school students from Lévis, Quebec, on graduation night, resulting in a series of formally posed portraits that belie the emotional and alcohol-fuelled chaos of the actual “bush party” event."

More on Simoneau's site.

I first saw Guillaume Simoneau's work yesterday: Untitled (Kanazawa 02), Ishikawa prefecture, Japan at the Bulger Gallery in Toronto. Stunning piece, which you can see below.

Yesterday, after injuring my toe yet again, I hobbled over to the exhibit, People, Places, Things — Part II at the Stephen Bulger Gallery in Toronto. It was recommended to me by David Liss and it was great. There's a wonderful variety of work. Well worth a visit.

Dear Photograph is a site where people can submit photos held over their original locations and address the picture with thanks for the memories it holds. Lovely idea well executed.

Many, many more at the Dear Photograph website.

Christopher Soukop's series, A Dimly Lit World, is absolutely sublime. Plenty more on Soukop's site. Christopher also has a Flikr Photostream.
