Color Photos of New York from the 1940s A set of rare images captures the city's classic buildings along with its timeless spirit All photos courtesy of the Charles W. Cushman collection at Indiana University In 1905, after years of living in Paris, Atlantic author Alvan Sanborn came home to a New York City that was, he wrote, "a wilderness of sprawling ugliness." But after a month at home, Sanborn's disgust gave way to giddy excitement. Materially, mentally, and morally, New York is growing helter-skelter, very much as the untouched forest grows,--big trees and little trees, straight trees and crooked trees, saplings, bushes, brakes, ferns, flowers, mushrooms, and toadstools in a bewildering tangle,--and it exhales a similar aroma of unjaded life, which cannot fail to thrill every man who has a drop of red blood in him. After a generation of immigration, jazz, and Art Deco, that jumble of buildings sprouted into a true city. A modern New Yorker will see at a glance how the city has changed since Cushman snapped these photos.

Digital Camera Magazine: Your Guide to Digital Imaging and Photography Prohibition Prohibition of alcohol, often referred to simply as prohibition, is the legal act of prohibiting the manufacture, storage, transportation and sale of alcohol and alcoholic beverages. The term can also apply to the periods in the histories of the countries during which the prohibition of alcohol was enforced. History[edit] The Drunkard's Progress: A lithograph by Nathaniel Currier supporting the temperance movement, January 1846 The earliest records of prohibition of alcohol date back to the Xia Dynasty (ca. 2070 BC–ca. 1600 BC) in China. Yu the Great, the first ruler of the Xia Dynasty, prohibited alcohol throughout the kingdom.[1] It was legalized again after his death, during the reign of his son Qi. The first half of the 20th century saw periods of prohibition of alcoholic beverages in several countries: Asia[edit] Bangladesh[edit] In Bangladesh, alcohol is strictly prohibited due to its proscription in the Islamic faith.

The Civil War In Pictures, Part 1: The Places Last year marked the 150th anniversary of the start of the American Civil War, a milestone commemorated by The Atlantic in a special issue (now available online). Although photography was still in its infancy, war correspondents produced thousands of images, bringing the harsh realities of the frontlines to those on the home front in a new and visceral way. As brother fought brother and the nation's future grew uncertain, the public appetite for information was fed by these images from the trenches, rivers, farms, and cities that became fields of battle. Today's collection is part 1 of 3, covering the places of the Civil War: the battleships, prisons, hospitals, urban centers, and rural pastures where history was made.

The Photographers Society PHOTOGRAPHER FOCUS · Luca Adamo If you ask me for it, I will say that Luca Adamo makes mainly street photography. But it is not easy to define in a univocal way which can be understood as such: it is not even possible to find among photographers who love the genre even an uniform idea about the elements or traits that can define it. Luca’s approach to the photographed reality in the urban environment is fully emotional: in his photography he treasures unique everyday fragments. And paradoxically, although the human figure is broadly absent from his shots there is in them a huge dose of humanity. Luca’s stylistic universe is broad. Luca shoots with a Canon 5D Mark II as a main camera that he complements with a lightest Fujifilm X20. -Juan Manuel

Roaring Twenties The Roaring Twenties is a term sometimes used to refer to the 1920s in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, characterizing the decade's distinctive cultural edge in New York City, Chicago, Paris, Berlin, London, Los Angeles and many other major cities during a period of sustained economic prosperity. French speakers called it the "années folles" ("Crazy Years"),[1] emphasizing the era's social, artistic, and cultural dynamism. Normalcy returned to politics in the wake of hyper-emotional patriotism after World War I, jazz music blossomed, the flapper redefined modern womanhood, and Art Deco peaked. Economically, the era saw the large-scale diffusion and use of automobiles, telephones, motion pictures, and electricity, unprecedented industrial growth, accelerated consumer demand and aspirations, and significant changes in lifestyle and culture.
