...Though he's neither French, British nor particularly funny, Robert Frank fits into that illustrious company. He was just 23 when he emigrated to the U.S. from Switzerland in 1947. After spending a couple of years as a fashion photographer in New York City, he returned to Europe to roam around making grave, enigmatic shots of whatever caught his eye.

(The FARC refuses visits by Red Cross medical teams.) Pinchao, 37, says Stansell taught him how to swim during river-bathing sessions - a skill that later helped him escape. Stansell also tries to keep...
...involved in that culture seem to be all doing the same thing. When I first moved to New York I never wanted to leave. I think I might have left the city once over a period of seven years. All I wanted to do was stay out late and roam the streets of New York.” Due in great part to these photos, McGinley received a 2007 ICP Infinity Award, and—at 24—became the youngest photographer to have a solo show at the Whitney Museum. But then he left New York...
