The Carroll County Times reports on a new photography exhibit opening tomorrow at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Called "Particulars of Place: Photo Portfolios from the Collection” the featured photographers include American Paul Strand, an early believer in the power of sequenced pictures. Strand's first portfolio, created in 1940, is a cinematically arranged series of photographs portraying village life in Mexico. He then went on to chronicle locations such as the Hebrides, Italy and Egypt.Most of the images come from portfolios, or series of prints contained in special boxes. Among the examinations: a 19th-century Philadelphia penitentiary, the mythical Stonehenge and the Southern California coast.
