PDN's 30 2008 is Photo District News magazine's choice of 30 new and emerging photographers to watch.

There are some fashion shots, which seem stylized, but the more interesting ones are of ordinary people.

From two 26-year-old photographers, vastly different subjects and worldviews. Unfortunately, there are no captions to explain who their subjects are, just quotes, which are published as images, from the photographers. Fortunately, I was able to find more info at each photographer's personal Web site.

Just below, from Canadian Donald Weber shooting in Moscow,

The Underclass and Its Bosses: Ukraine

And, from Philadelphia native Taj Forer, now a North Carolina resident:

Jeff and Mary by Long Hungry Creek, Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee

Nice stuff.
