Here are some mugshots, a few years apart, of a man arrested in Colorado. Someone's been busy...

Igor Kenk

If you're from Toronto you probably know who this is. Igor Kenk is being accused of coordinating the biggest bicycle theft ring in Toronto history.

Once upon a time before crack, Jamel Shabazz was on the scene, working the streets of New York City, capturing the faces and places of an era that have long since disappeared."
