Discussion Topic: Photographing the Beginning of the Civil Rights Movement

Discussion Topic: Street Art, Photography, and the Inside Out Project in Times Square

I believe Polidori’s work is really interesting. I always have some kind of respect for photographers who use old techniques, like the large-format camera, maybe because I first learned how to use analog photography before starting using a digital camera; … Continue reading

Subways Portraits by Walker Evans
I’ve always had a fascination for pictures of the old New York City, and to be able to see an entire exhibition about subway portraits of that time is just amazing. Somebody told me that sometimes it is much better … Continue reading

Lynsey Addario, A Woman Photographer on the Front Lines
