Wow! I missed this the first time around...and while the scenics are great, it is the touching close-ups and groups of "ordinary" people that are truly outstanding; they remind me of the work of Louis Hine and Beatrice Abbott...but in color. Speaking of color...I'm also reminded of how much better early Kodachrome was at reds than at blues and greens...

Sheer volume has become a digital-age issue not only for images. The constant flow of e-mail (more spam than real, often); tweets about celebrities' teeth, clothes and turmoil; TV and radio repetitions as well as Konstant Kardashians are serious forms of mind pollution. Sometimes it takes an extended series of images to create a picture, an insight. But too many will mask, not highlight, the point. That's why I enjoy well-curated exhibits of the work of thoughtful (not merely skillful)...

Sometimes, at home or traveling, you miss an obvious place to visit, just because it’s nearby and you can fit it in “any time.” On our last day in Puerto Rico, we finally got to visit the museum around the corner and a few blocks...

Frequent contributor, Kirsten Hines, has a new book on beautiful Biscayne National Park. Kirsten did all the photography and co-wrote much of it.

Gumbo's Picture of the Day for April 13th, above, is an image I made nearly 55 years ago, on my first trip to Paris: a man sleeping on the ground at a side entrance to the National Assembly building. I like the picture; I’m pleased with its...

The web address for sales will not open for me and requires an additional program installing. Any alternate location for info ?

Hi Garry, Try the link to Kirsten's website. Hopefully that will work for you: http://www.kirstennaturetravel...cayne-national-park/ You can also by the book and kindle version from amazon. Use the link for amazon in your country and insert Kirsten's name. Should come up.

Thank you for sharing this!!! I appreciate it. It's a wonderful park to visit if you're in South Florida!

I wish there were a tag that went beyond 'like' so I could use it both for the Kahn photographs and yours, and for the blog. You've definitely put it on my list for next year, especially for the directness of some of the photos, some of which have a Lewis Hine-like connection with the subject. I have a tiny Albert Kahn connection in my background; our Paris apartment on one trip was just off Place Albert Kahn in the 18e, where three streets and Bd. Ornano intersect each other.

PHeymont reflects on an unusual photo exhibit that draws connections of time, place and especially people together.

Thanks for this! I hadn't had the opportunity to see this much Russell at one time, nor to know so much about him. There's an obvious comparison, based on time and subject, between Russell and Frederic Remington, but I think Remington doesn't come off well in the comparison. Russell's work seems more genuine, an expression of his feelings for the people he lived and worked among, while Remington's seems aimed at an audience seeking heroic poses and stereotypes. I think it's similar to my...
