American Vintage Trains
The history of American railroad began with the founding of the first passenger and freight line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1827 away from rivers, canals and stagecoaches. The style of transportation also changed in the cities from horse and buggy to the first street tramway with the New York and Harlem line of 1832, coining the American term still used today, street railway.

She states "...the story these photographs tell is one of surprise and delight, love, and gratitude. I am passionate about what I do, constantly exploring and forever grateful that my life and my livelihood are entwined. My days are filled with a seamless flow of rigorous preparation, intense activity, and quiet reflection. Building trust and connection with couples on the cusp of new adventures, I turn moments into memories."
Dawoud Bey: Elegy
Dawoud Bey focuses on the landscape to create a portrait of the early African American presence in the United States. Renowned for his Harlem street scenes and expressive portraits, Dawoud Bey continues his ongoing series on African American history. Elegy brings together Bey's three landscape series to date--Night Coming Tenderly, Black (2017); In This Here Place (2021); and Stony the Road (2023)--elucidating the deep historical memory still embedded in the geography of the United States. Bey takes viewers to the historic Richmond Slave Trail in Virginia, where Africans were marched onto auction blocks; to the plantations of Louisiana, where they labored; and along the last stages of the Underground Railroad in Ohio, where fugitives sought self-emancipation. Essays by the exhibition's curator, Valerie Cassel Oliver, and scholars LeRonn P. Brooks, Imani Perry, and Christina Sharpe illuminate the work. By interweaving these bodies of work into an elegy in three movements, Bey doesn't merely evoke history, he retells it through historically grounded images that challenge viewers to go beyond seeing and imagine lived experiences.

Ammerican Police Action
Law enforcement is as old as human society and the giving of laws itself. In ancient China, Babylon and Egypt there were special law enforcement bodies. Law enforcement is a part of the political process. Not all laws are fair, not all politicians are honest and the job can be risky Police is usually very visible in our society, carrying out the important role of law enforcement and loved by children. The role of the police is to enforce the law, to ensure the safety, health, and possessions of citizens, and to prevent crime and civil disorder. We honor all good police on this 4th of July 2023 and hope you will enjoy our selection of photos.
Zhang Xiao: Community Fire
In his project Community Fire, the photographer Zhang Xiao takes a local, hometown look at Shehuo (社火), a Chinese Spring Festival tradition celebrated in rural Northern Chinese communities that includes temple fairs, dragon dances, and storytelling. Shehuo-- literally, "community fire"--is devoted to the worship of land and fire, and boasts a history of many thousands of years. During the festival, people hold ceremonies, pray for the next year's good harvest, and confer blessings of peace and safety on all family members. However, what was once a heterogeneous cultural tradition with myriad regional variations has largely become a tourist-facing, consumption-oriented enterprise. In the early 2000s, Shehuo received an "intangible cultural heritage" designation from the People's Republic of China, resulting in increased funding in exchange for greater government involvement. While altering the practitioners' relation to Shehuo, this change expresses itself most visually in the way costumes and props have been replaced with newer, cheaper products from online shopping websites. Zhang's colorful and fantastical photographs capture how these mass-produced substitutions have transformed the practice of Shehuo. Community Fire--with essays in English and Chinese--is a dynamic visual exploration of one of China's oldest traditions. Copublished by Aperture and Peabody Museum Press
