Photographer Dina Goldstein’s series “Fallen Princesses“ has actually been around since 2009 but I had never posted the photographs as a complete set before. The project looks at Disney fairy tale princesses and their harshly realistic modern day lifestyles. Seems not everybody lives happily ever after. This project has won several awards, been published internationally in magazines, analyzed by experts in the field of Fairytale literature and studied in High schools and Universities.

› America by Motorcycle. My book. Please take a look.

americabymotorcycle:

This is a book about traveling America on mostly two lane roads. The quiet roads. Roads that you can drive at a pace that allows you see, smell, feel, and hear all that’s around you. Roads that will take you through the small towns. The roads where you can actually meet the locals, and have lunch in their local restaurants. Traveling these roads on a motorcycle is great, but seeing this huge, beautiful country in any way possible is almost as good. I just recommend riding with the windows down with your head out the window.

I love my new city.  timelightbox: Photograph by Danny Lyon—Magnum For the past five decades the photographer Danny Lyon has produced a mix of documentary photographs and film – both politically conscious and personal. Currently on view at Charles A. Hartman Fine Art in Portland is Lyon’s body of work, The Bikeriders. For more information about the exhibition, visit here.
