Our newest edition of This Week in Photography is kind of like a time machine. We look at food photography on Instagram, feature a high-res panorama of the space shuttle and mention a new exhibit of work by women who are challenging the male-dominated world of photojournalism. But we also go back and visit the historical work of photographers from
The Baltimore Sun and talk about a Diane Arbus retrospective. Lots to take in. Enjoy.
New Exhibition: *National Geographic'*s Women of Vision
There is an ever-growing number of female photojournalists in what has traditionally been a male-dominated field and
National Geographic, known for creating a gold standard in photography, is honoring the work of its own roster of female photogs with
Women of Vision, an impressive exhibition in Washington D.C. at the National Geographic Museum. Curated by the Big Yellow Box's senior photo editor Elizabeth Krist, it features more than 100 photos and multimedia from 11 female
National Geographic photographers active from the year 2000 onward.
These globe-trotting photographers have documented everything from war zones to wildlife and along the way have been kidnapped and trekked to some of the most remote spots on earth.
Women of Vision is open at the National Geographic Museum through March 9 of next year, but if you can't make it to the Capitol in time, don't worry; a book of photos from the exhibition has also been published.
