Since the 1920s, Tiffany & Company jewelry ads have occupied the upper-right corner of the third page of The New York Times. Until the layout changed in spring 2008, the space next to the ad was filled with an international news photo. This daily juxtaposition (which has not gone unnoticed) resulted in a collection of often horrifying image pairings in what seem like deliberate examples of First World excess mocking Third World suffering. Having tried several ways of responding, I finally decided simply to isolate the two images, preserving the spatial relationship between them and letting the silence of white space comment on the obvious. The titles are the actual captions of the jewelry ads.
