Amazing Photo Exhibition at the Addison Gallery

Have you ever seen all 84 prints in sequence from Robert Frank's "The Americans?" That not enough? How about all of Bill Owen's "Suburbia?" Bruce Davidson's "Brooklyn Gang?" Aaron Siskind's "Harlem Document?" William Christenberry's "Alabama Pictures?" Go.

Robert Adams talking about his work on Art21

"An underlying tension in Adams’s body of work is the contradiction between landscapes visibly transformed or scarred by human presence and the inherent beauty of light and land rendered by the camera."

The return of Flickr

Flickr's popularity has declined in recent years. However, with a new app, a ToS gaffe by Instagram, and recurring privacy issues with Facebook, the OG photo-sharing site is poised for a healthy return to relevance. Moblie app, social network, storage, sharing - with multiple real privacy options, too - yes please.

Frame by Frame: Photographic Series and Portfolios

An exhibition at the Addison Gallery at Phillips Academy, Andover, MA. Feb. 2 - April 14, 2013.

Focusing on twentieth-century documentary photography, this exhibition includes Aaron Siskind’s Harlem Document, a vibrant portrayal of 1930s Harlem culture and society; Robert Frank's pivotal series, The Americans, a piercing look beneath the surface of 1950s American life; Bruce Davidson’s Brooklyn Gang, a moving portrait of postwar inner-city youth culture; William Christenberry’s Alabama Pictures, an intimate chronicle of the effects of time’s passage on the artist’s beloved South; Bill Owens’ Suburbia, an alternately humorous, poignant, and devastating view of 1970s America and the middle class migration to the suburbs; and William Eggleston’s portfolio 14 Pictures, a collection of the artist’s characteristically understated images in which the everyday is imbued with beauty and mystery.
