«Growing up in Perth Amboy, NJ, the first picture he took was of his mother - he was nine years old. She died a year later, and that photograph became an anchor for him. When he was in high school, he took Judo classes, which he credits for his ability to calm down in difficult situations.

«Photojournalist Ami Vitale is on the road less traveled. Often unpaved, and at times dangerous, that road has taken her in the last three years, to places of surreal beauty and civil unrest. It has also taken her to places where there is extreme poverty and horrible destruction of life and property, and to villages where there is no running water or electricity, places she describes as “worlds apart.” But it is not the differences that have drawn Vitale to them; it is the commonality of human emotions and life experiences that have irrevocably bonded her with the people she has photographed in them.» ]]> The Digital Journalist.
«Douglas Kirkland moves gracefully around his lovely house in the Hollywood Hills and his charm reminds me of Robert Redford in The Great Gatsby.

He photographed hundreds of subjects engaged in actions both mundane and arcane: nude figures walking and lifting children, athletes boxing and fencing, and animals hurdling, kicking, or slowly ambling along. He was the first photographer to visually dissect these activities, creating images that delighted and mystified the public in the late 19th century.»]]> «Ansel Adams: Beneath the Surface showcases a world of scientific and academic inquiry far removed from the heroic and sublime landscapes; a world of astonishing experiments, prodigious apparatus, and fascinating photographic inquiry.» ]]> «A special documentation of the PRC exhibition examining the fate of reading in a digital age.

While in college in 1934 at the University of Miami, he began making photographs with his friend Ben Rose. Thereupon he became famous overnight. That's the story.

Un acierto que agradecerán cuantas personas se acerquen a contemplar las fotografías que forman esta exposición.
Fue este país, abierto a Europa durante el siglo XIX, objeto de deseo y curiosidad para escritores y artistas, en una visión bastante alejada de la realidad, las más de las veces, y que dio en llamarse orientalismo. La fotografía, nacida por aquellas fechas, iba a ser ayuda esencial para apartarse de estereotipos, convirtiéndose en apoyo imprescindible del africanismo, corriente que sustituyó a la anterior.» ]]> The Digital Journalist.
«The essence of American photojournalism, as it is taught in American universities and academies like The International Center of Photography in New York, has its basics in photography as "historical testimony." In this view, the picture of an event, of a social change, a historical or casual step of our becoming, is meant to witness and forge our visual imaginary of history. For this reason it is loaded with an ethical responsibility often difficult to bear and to manage by those who chose to be "photographers concerned in delivering history." This is the reason why only few "war photographers" manage to fulfill this utopia in their career.» ]]> 79 Selected Images.]]> 44 Selected Images ]]> Universidad de Alicante.

He was an odd, indrawn, misshapen man, hydrocephalic and a dwarf.»]]> «The remarkable photography of Benedicte Wrensted (1859-1949) lay in obscurity for decades until brought to light by the detective work of Smithsonian anthropologist Joanna Cohan Scherer. In 1984, while researching photographs for the Smithsonian's Handbook of North American Indians, Scherer found a collection of glass plate negatives at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in Washington, DC. Labeled only as "Portraits of Indians from Southeastern Idaho Reservations, 1897," the images were so compelling that Scherer had prints made for the Handbook - a 20 volume encyclopedia summarizing the anthropology and history of Indians and Eskimos of North America north of Mesoamerica.»]]> The Digital Journalist.

«These photographs are my attempt to document the living legacy of this rich cultural tradition.

It's echoes still resound in the sweaty juke joints and dusty cotton fields along Highway 61.» ]]> «The Boat Peoples of Indochina is a testimony to the power of imagery and the role of photography in how we see and think about war. While the name Kim Phuc is unfamiliar, the photograph of the girl who was flayed by napalm in the Vietnam War has seared itself into the consciousness of millions. It was these images of thousands in refugee camps and of survivors being plucked from the South China Sea that convinced governments around the world to accommodate the mass movements of Indochinese refugees. In this regard, Canada has set a world standard in its humanitarian acceptance of refugees.» ]]> The Digital Journalist.
«Robert Sherman Lerner was born in 1926 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin--without a camera in hand. He was just 10 when he discovered his father's old Kodak Autograph, and 13 when he won his first photo contest for his photographs of Boy Scouts camping in the north woods of Wisconsin. Perhaps more telling than the camping photographs, however, is his snapshot of a house after a snowstorm. Haunting in its illumination, the dwelling seems braced for nature's assault as frigid shadows flank its foundation. Shot in his teens, the image conveys a strong feeling of isolation, reminiscent of the houses painted by Edward Hopper.» ]]> The Digital Journalist.

«Mark Leong's photographs are also about homecoming as departure. For him, the native land of his ancestors is his own foreign country. His pictures bring to mind an image from a journey I made not long ago: I am standing beneath the frosty skies of northern China gazing upon an expanse of broken walls and piles of earth, buried speechless and silent beneath a covering of white snow and withered grass.» ]]> «Christopher Morris belongs to what is surely one of the exclusive--and demanding--clubs in all of photography: he is a war photographer. From the streets of Bosnia to the sands of the Persian Gulf, Morris constantly risks his own life to document the darker side of the human condition.»]]> 19 Selected Images.]]> 249 Selected Images.]]> 417 Selected Images.]]> 825 Selected Images.]]> 26 Selected Images.]]> 375 Selected Images.]]> 313 Selected Images.]]> 22 Selected Images.]]> 225 Selected Images.]]> 598 Selected Images.]]> 66 Selected Images.]]> 69 Selected Images.]]> 69 Selected Images.]]> 110 Selected Images.]]> 303 Selected Images.]]> 27 Selected Images.]]> 108 Selected Images.]]> 17 Selected Images.]]> 70 Selected Images.]]> 43 Selected Images.]]> 182 Selected Images.]]> 101 Selected Images.]]> 72 Selected Images.]]> 23 Selected Images.]]> 894 Selected Images.]]> 1122 Selected Images.]]> 403 Selected Images.]]> 1709 Selected Images.]]> 12 Selected Images. ]]> 11 Selected Images.]]> 298 Selected Images.]]> 71 Selected Images.]]> 22 Selected Images.]]> 510 Selected Images.]]> 315 Selected Images.]]> 60 Selected Images.]]> «In December 1995, The Museum of Modern Art acquired all sixty-nine black-and-white photographs in Cindy Sherman's Untitled Film Stills series.

«The Bombay slums are a byword for crime, squalor, dirty politics and communal riots, and Dharavi, the much-vaunted “largest slum in Asia”, is the biggest and most feared of the lot. Scene of some of the worst excesses of the post-Babri Masjid riots of 92/93 in which an unknown number of people lost their lives and entire districts were burnt to the ground with the collusion of the city’s leading politicians, its reputation for random violence and extreme poverty is still strong in the minds of Bombay’s middle classes and the media, Indian and international alike.» ]]> «More than 800 photographs of Pullman, Washington, selected from an exceptional collection assemeled by Ivan Shirrod, as well as the Cities and Towns Collection, PC 2. Pullman was first settled in 1874 by Bowlin Farr.»]]> Selected Images from the Library of Congress.
«The albumen photographs presented below are examples taken from an album of prominent Americans made during Civil War. The album is thought to have been assembled by John Hay (1838-1905), a personal secretary to Abraham Lincoln during the years 1861 to 1865.»]]> «The images in this digital collection are drawn from the New-York Historical Society's rich archival collections that document the Civil War. They include recruiting posters for New York City regiments of volunteers; stereographic views documenting the mustering of soldiers and of popular support for the Union in New York City; photography showing the war's impact, both in the north and south; and drawings and writings by ordinary soldiers on both sides.» ]]> «This exhibition is devoted to American family photographs that were separated from their owners and then rediscovered by artists, writers, collectors, and museum curators. Removed from their original context, these snapshots become open to many different interpretations: Who are the people in the photographs? What did these photos mean to them? Where are these people now?» ]]> 135 Selected Images ]]> 52 Selected Images ]]> 25 Selected Images ]]> «12 p. of photographs printed on a sheet folded in accordion format.»]]> 129 Selected Images]]> Ofrece imágenes artísticas de Toledo, así como fotografías antiguas.]]> 230 documentos. ]]> «L'ECPAD possède un ensemble de collections d'origine privée, d'importance numérique très variable, entrées par donation ou par achat.

Even though the early processes were in some ways quite cumbersome, the pioneers of photography took their cameras all over the country, up mountain tops and to exotic countries to create a wide variety of images. The photographic heritage is rich in documentary photographs that tells us a lot about the way past generations viewed their world, and this wealth of information is only beginning to be disclosed.»]]> «This collection of some of our photos is part of a larger project with our partners in the Safeguarding European Photographic Images for Access (SEPIA) project. Each partner provided images from their own holdings. It shows the development of transport of all kinds, here and elsewhere in Europe.
The SEPIA project brings together institutions from Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. All have large holdings of photographs.

«In September 1996, I began a photographic exploration of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church-an inner city, African American congregation located in Indianapolis, Indiana. I had become interested in African American spiritual life when I was a teacher in an alternative high school for urban high-risk youth. It seemed to me that if my students' families were struggling effectively against the hardships of inner city living, they were also deeply connected to the life of a church. I felt compelled to photograph and learn more about this vital aspect of black culture.» ]]> «The Carl Van Vechten Photographs Collection at the Library of Congress consists of 1,395 photographs taken by American photographer Carl Van Vechten (1880-1964) between 1932 and 1964. The bulk of the collection consists of portrait photographs of celebrities, including many figures from the Harlem Renaissance. A much smaller portion of the collection is an assortment of American landscapes.» ]]> Ángeles.]]> «Just 150 years ago, Japan ended centuries of isolation -- and photographers rushed in to document the nation's culture and its people. The camera also captured Americans caught up in the craze for all things Japanese -- the international fad known as Japonisme.»]]> «Siberian Yupik Eskimos are a divided family between the two worlds of the USA and Russia, North America and Asia.

«David Alan Harvey is a photojournalist's photojournalist. His work is in the tradition of Henri Cartier-Bresson and W. Eugene Smith. He never uses a press card or long lens. He never stands behind ropes at a "photo op." He tends to use a single Leica body with either a 35mm or 50mm lens. He has the eye of painter and the soul of a poet. He is the kind of photographer I would like to be.» ]]> 98 Selected Images.]]> «Jan Dago has been working as a professional photographer for more than 10 years. He started out in advertising photography, then became a newspaper photographer for five years.
In 1993, Dago was educated as a press photographer. During that time, he was also a staff photographer at the biggest Danish newspaper, Morgen Avisen Jyllands- Posten.» ]]> «There is something essentially strange and unknowable about the daguerreotype. When Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre's process was first announced at the Institute of France in Paris on August 19, 1839, those who had learned the details shouted to spectators anxiously waiting outside, ³Quicksilver! Iodine! Hyposulphite of Soda!² One observer reported, ³Everyone pricked his ears, but nobody understood anything.² How and why the first form of practical photography came as a luminiferous metallic mirror, instead of something like a drawing on paper or painting on cloth, as anticipated, astonished all.»]]> «An exploration of the life and art of one of England's most famous photographers of the past four decades: David Bailey. This "revolutionary" photographer's true fame lies in his photographic creations, images that move effortlessly from fashion photos for British and American Vogue to "intimate, almost friendly" portraits of celebrities and rock stars to street photography à la William Klein and Robert Frank.» ]]> «David Goldblatt's work is about buildings and structures in the South African landscape. It is, in part, about actual structures--bricks, mortar, mud, and corrugated iron. But it is also about ideological structuring: about the mental constructs that underpinned the structures of South Africa in its colonial era and more specifically, the apartheid years, the locust years, of its recent past. What Goldblatt has done is to frame these physical structures in terms of photographic constructs which, cumulatively and compellingly, reveal the many ways in which ideology has shaped our landscape.»

In 1949, at the age of 16, he won his first prize in the Kodak National High School Competition. He went on to attend the Rochester Institute of Technology and Yale University. After military service in 1957, he worked as a freelance photographer for Life Magazine and in 1958 became a member of Magnum Photos, the international photography agency.» ]]> «One of a generation of reporters to have emerged in the late 1980s, Carl de Keyzer likes to tackle large-scale projects and general themes. He often starts from the premise that disaster has already struck and that everywhere infrastructures are on the verge of collapse in overpopulated communities.» ]]> «Luc Delahaye's work spans the worlds of journalism and art. As a war photographer he has documented many conflicts around the world. At the same time, he started a work on documentary portrait and then engaged himself in a broader approach of documentary photography. In his latest projects he did a long trip across Russia, examining the country's economic depression, and a four month stay in the suburb of Toulouse, France.» ]]> 23 Selected Images.]]> «Dennis Reggie has been described as the finest wedding photographer of his generation. His unique style combines the very best elements of reportage, portraiture and social documentary.» ]]> «A largely self-taught photographer who learned through experience in the field, Depardon belongs to a generation of French photographers reluctant to overinterpret their subjects. In the long run, the photographer could only be absolutely sure of his or her own identity, which is why several of Depardon's publications are autobiographical.» ]]> «Tall Tales have an honored place in American culture. From Paul Bunyan and King Kong to the legions of fishermen boasting about "the one that got away," there is something about exaggeration that appeals to our sense of national grandeur. Perhaps it's also our view that in the modern world, anything is possible. Giant hybrid crops? Sure. Rabbits the size of Buicks? Well--maybe.»]]> The Digital Journalist.
«Passion. It is all about the passion. But the sensuality on the surface often masks a political undercurrent and a reckoning with history. A microcosm of Spanish and Portuguese colonialism, abandoned or overthrown, remains - but modified, altered and skewed. A 'New World' 'discovered' and exploited. And the consequence is hybrid people with an independent spirit, without independent means. So the music takes over. Insignificant moments become treasures. Sky, music and time blend, creating an acceptance - a peace. The influences of the Iberian peninsula are eventually modified or nullified by indigenous spiritualism and the African tribal drum.» ]]> «The first ghosts in photographs were the result of accidents. During a long exposure--such as those required in photography's infancy--a person who stood still would register as clearly as a building. But a person who moved out of camera range after only a portion of the exposure was completed would instead appear as a see-through blur. It happened with the lamplighter in this detail from a photograph by the London Stereoscopic Company.»]]> «Renowned in fashion and celebrity circles, Douglas Kirkland's pictures have at once both defined and pierced the realm of Hollywood glamour. His often daring and always beautiful images have, for more that four decades, raised the standard by which all celebrity pictures are measured.» ]]> «Of the many photographic albums in the National Anthropological Archives, perhaps the most interesting and historically important is a scrapbook kept by an American illustrator, James E. Taylor (1839-1901). A professional artist, Taylor’s newspaper illustrations served to popularize stereotypes of the Western frontier during the post-Civil War years. Like other illustrators and writers of the period, he depicted Indian-White relations in terms of savagery versus civilization and encouraged Americans to visualize the nation’s Westward expansion in heroic terms. In many ways, Taylor’s professional legacy as a "reporter" is lodged between the technological juncture that existed between newspaper publishing and photography in the 19th century.»]]> «One of the true originals in the world of photography, commercial and fine-arts shooter Duane Michals uses the medium to examine his own existence. Michals' photographs are haunting, funny and explore beyond reflections of light.»]]> «Victorian England captured in 2,000 original early photographic prints, including works by distinguished pioneers of the new medium.» ]]> «Just over a hundred and fifty years ago, an idea which had been familiar to many different people for some time became a practical reality. In January 1839, after several decades of experiments to create an enduring image through the action of light on sensitized surfaces, two processes that had been invented independently in the 1830s were announced to the public. Images could be made to 'draw' themselves and a visual medium was born that changed the world as far as humans perceived it.» ]]> We are publishing these selected photos and related captions on the Internet to provide a glimpse of this national treasure to the public.

He studied law in Parma, Italy, and worked as a journalist for Greek daily papers and magazines for many years. He began taking photographs in 1979, and until 1988 practiced photography as an amateur. He abandoned journalism in that year to devote him self to photography and for the next two years travelled through Greece and Turkey taking pictures.» ]]>
