EXHIBITION
Unseen Photographs from Robert Frank’s The Americans
Robert Frank’s magnum opus,
The Americans
, chronicled the photographer’s journey across the United States between 1955 and 1957 as he sought to capture America in all her glory. Of the 28,000 images he took during this three-year period, a total of only 83 photographs were published in
The Americans
. Tens of thousands of frames remained, many of which have remained unseen to the public: now, for the first time, a selection of those rarely seen and unpublished works are on view in a new exhibition at Danziger Gallery, titled
Robert Frank—Rarities
.
BOOK
A 30-Year Odyssey Documenting Lives of Girlfriends Coming of Age
In the new book
Between Girls
, Karen Marshall explores gender, identity, self-discovery and friendship between women in photographs, film, and audio recordings.
COLLECTION
Celebrating the Unpredictability of Life with Magnum’s Print Sale
Entitled "The Unexpected", a collection of more than ninety prints by Magnum photographers is available for $100 for one week. It represents the breadth and variety of what photography can convey and capture.
DISCOVERY
Dig Down a Little Deeper and You’ll Find Me
Living in Pennsylvania and traveling through the cities and towns, long before photographer Niko J. Kallianiotis picked up a camera, helped him shape his perception of what America is, or isn’t. His project entitled
America in Trance
is an observation of the fading American dream so typified in the northeastern Pennsylvania landscape but widespread across the United States.

ADVICE
How to Edit a Documentary Photo Story
Editing can be the hardest and most frustrating process involved in working on a photo project, but ultimately it’s the very moment the story, the atmosphere and the message you intend to convey take shape. I’ll take Dias Eternos, a long-term project shot by photographer Ana Maria Alvarado in Venezuelan prisons and featured by The New York Times, as an example to share a few advice.
Blind financially supports the production of visual stories and invites all photographers to submit their portfolios.
