Jesse Rieser's "Christmas In America: Happy Birthday, Jesus" was one of the top 50 Critical Mass portfolios from this year. His work makes you do a double take on how our culture embraces Christmas and all the trappings. Enjoy the work...I know I did! In his words... Jesse's work will be up at the Newspace Center for Photography in Portland, Oregon until December 30th.
