“Prisons do not disappear social problems, they disappear human beings. Homelessness, unemployment, drug addiction, mental illness, and illiteracy are only a few of the problems that disappear from public view when the human beings contending with them are relegated to cages” -Angela Y. Davis

Portraits by Aliza Brown

Indianapolis-based photographer Aliza Brown is one to watch. Her dreamy portraits seamlessly connect the raw emotion and beauty of her many subjects; oftentimes offering multiple images of the same subject to provide a spectrum of emotion a single image can’t encapsulate.

1972 Rothschild Surrealist Dinner Party, Pt 1

There have been few dinners parties quite like it.

It’s December 12 1972, the night at which Marie-Hélène de Rothschild held her famous Surrealist Ball at Ferrières. As you can probably guess by her surname, she was a member of the ultra-wealthy Rothschild banking family. Few made the guest-list but if you did, it was the ultimate seal of approval from Parisian high-society.

The requirements for the evening were “Black tie, long dresses & Surrealists heads” nothing more, nothing less. In keeping with the theme, the invitation which she sent was actually written backwards – to read the invite you had to hold it up to a mirror.

Alejandro Cartagena captured Mexican workers on their way to job sites in Car Poolers. This is such an amazing and simple photo series.
