Photo Studio Benetton's Colors Magazine presents this haunting collection of old portraits culled from mom-and-pop photo studios around the world. The images move across the screen horizontally, transforming your monitor into a giant scrolling canvas. In this impeccable montage, you'll find Israeli women in uniform, Indian fairground attendees, and Quinceañeras in Chicago. Every subject does his or her best for the camera: "Sitting in the closed environment of a photo studio -- even if it's a piece of cloth stretched over a bamboo in a far-off Gujarat cattle market -- you are momentarily reassured. Life is briefly under control, and you are being recorded." The honest portrayal of a culture is captured and transformed into tomorrow's memories. (in Photography Exhibits)
