Fordham University is pleased to present Wendel White’s Schools for the Colored, a series of black-and- white photographs depicting structures—extant, transformed, demolished, or replaced—that once housed segregated schools along the northern border of the Mason-Dixon Line.

Lucía Peluffo: Somos uno. Somos dos.

The book explores the relationship between two people. One of them, the author. It shows us different aspects of a “love story”. How the way we perceive things does not always reflect the truth. We do not always know where we are standing, so we need to explore. How loneliness appears after a choice we make, why not a journey,…

Marseille is a love letter from an American to France’s oldest and second largest city. Joan Liftin’s photographs of Marseille, one of Europe’s most ethnically diverse cities, show us a place where much of life still unfolds on the street.

Florin Ion Firimiţã: The Bookstore Project

“The Bookstore Project” started in 2012 with a visit to my friend G. J. Askins who has amassed an enormous amount of volumes in a well-lit space carved out of an old mill in Northern Massachusetts. The space has fascinated me for years. A strange, striking mess, it lacks the structure of a typical store where everything is usually carefully…

The inward space is the stage for ZONA, the new photobook by Portuguese artist Nuno Moreira. ZONA plunges deeply into the unconscious by visually giving form to recurrent dreams and explorations on interior landscapes. Similar to theatre, or even cinema, the narrative of the book follows a live-performance shot in Japan and is somewhat similar to a dream experience –…

Tim Gao: Invisible Theatre

Street photography is not just a sharp triggering of shutter to shape the outside world in the form of light and shadow. It is simultaneously a curious observation and emotional perception of what’s happening in the ordinary streets at any moment when unpredictable dramas and realities are actually taking place. I have lived in Shanghai for over 9 years and…

Bruce Davidson describes the genesis of this project thus: “Esquire’s editors sent me to Los Angeles, and when I landed at LA International Airport I noticed giant palm trees growing in the parking lot. I ordered a hamburger through a microphone speaker in a drive-in called Tiny Naylor’s. The freeways were blank and brilliant, chromium-plated bumpers reflected the Pacific Ocean,…
