Digital BW, The Print

Correction, it *will* open in London this week, officially on Dec. 8.
Thus the buzz. And to set the record straight, the show, titled "Bound
for Glory", debuted at the Library of Congress in September 2005.
After London, it will move to University of Kentucky Art Museum,
Lexington, KY, January 21--April 15, 2007.

There is also a companion "Bound for Glory" hardcover book/catalog.

"The original goal of the government project was to record
through documentary photographs the ravages of the Depression on
America's rural population and were intended to spur Congress and the
American public to support government relief efforts. Over the years,
with an improved economy, increased industrialization, and the onset
of World War II, the photographs increasingly focused on an America
that was productive, beautiful, and determined. The photographs
originally intended to have a narrow focus developed into a noteworthy
broader national record.

"In additions to their documentary and historic value, the color
images in the FSA/OWI Collection provide a remarkable opportunity to
study the early use of color film as it was employed by a dedicated
group of professional photographers -- who generally took
black-and-white images. It is revealing to compare monochrome and
color images taken on the same shoot, or to identify particular
landscapes or subjects that caught the photographer's eye in such a
way that he or she chose to use the medium of color to best represent
their essence."
