Despite the daunting prognosis, Wallenstein found solace and strength in her art, continuing to create cyanotypes—ethereal blue shadow-grams on cloth—each sunny day.

By 2001, a … Read the full Story >>

But, honestly I don't like it for any of … Read the full Story >>

To cast their vote, they had to fill it out front and back, tear it in half along a perforated line, and then carefully feed both pages into a scanner. The … Read the full Story >>

The road trip—in literature, in cinema, in photography—is one of the great formal devices for telling a story. Against an ever-shifting background, complex narratives that often explore the darker side of human nature unfold. In photography, Robert Frank’s America; Paul Graham’s A1; Joel Sternfeld’s American Prospects; and more recently, Alec Soth’s Niagara come to mind. But with Dolce Via, Charles H.Traub has done something … Read the full Story >>
