Joel Sternfield
He investigated the blurred boundaries between city and wilderness. His photographs show a culture that is inextricably linked to the land, but which is simultaneously idyllic and on the verge of ecological disaster.
| Peter Fraser
The photographs by Peter Fraser concentrate on the material and sculptural properties of seemingly nimportant, unnoticed objects. Th most ordinary things are transformed from objects into subjects, depicting some of the details and leftovers of human existence. | Robert Adams
Adams highlights the consequences of unregulated development and the effects of mass consumerism. He documents changes to the unspoilt landscape of the American West with its vast open spaces. | David Goldblatt

Magnum
http://www.magnumphotos.com/
Magnum - the great photo-journalism agency - has a good website with information about its services, its famous and less-famous photographers and its history. It includes many of the iconic photos from the Spanish Civil War, The Second War World and Viet-nam which were also covered by Pathe.
The images are for on screen study only - not free for use - but the website is a good study site for older students and teachers. Interesting to compare it with the British Pathe archive.
"Magnum Photos is a photographic co-operative of great diversity and distinction owned by its photographer-members. With powerful individual vision, Magnum photographers chronicle the world and interpret its peoples, events, issues and personalities. Magnum provides photographs to the press, publishers, advertising, television, galleries and museums across the world. The Magnum Photos library is a living archive updated daily with new work from across the globe. There are approximately one million photographs in both print and transparency in the physical library with 250,000 images available online."
