American Self-Portrait in Numbers (79 pics)

This incredible project called Running the Numbers: An American Self-Portrait, was made by photographer Chris Jordan.
It’s not just raw numbers which won’t give us a good representation or won’t have a desired effect on us. With these photos, the quantities of everything consumed in America can be seen through another angle, more interesting I would say.


Skull With Cigarette, 2007 [based on a painting by Van Gogh].
Depicts 200,000 packs of cigarettes, equal to the number of Americans who die from cigarette smoking every six months.
