Photography archives from National Geographic

After the embarassing baby pictures in the back of mom’s closet, the photos you remember most are those taken by shooters for Life, National Geographic, and the Associated Press. So this exhibit is like paging through American journalism’s version of a family album. There’s the young set of moptops looking like deer caught in stagelights in “The Beatles on Ed Sullivan”; the burdened shoulders of a presidential pair in “Kennedy and Eisenhower (Bay of Pigs)”; a wild-haired Charlton Heston preaching to a field of cars in “The Ten Commandments at the Drive-In.” Photographs from Minnesota native and National Geographic photographer Annie Griffiths Belt’s most recent book, Last Stand: America’s Virgin Lands, are also on display for the first time. 917 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis; 612-338-4333; www.jeanstephengalleries.com
