American Girl in Italy

preview1.jpg

“American Girl in Italy” este una din clasicile lucrari ale lui Ruth Orkin. In 1951 ea a calatorit in Israel avand un angajament din partea Filarmonicii Israeliene. Dupa ce a trait cateva luni in acolo, ea si-a continuat calatoriile in Italia. In Florenta a intalnit un student la arte ce ii va deveni subiect pentru o fotografie ilustrativa intitulata “Don’t Be Afraid to Travel Alone”.

Orkin a fotografiat aceasta nemuritoare imagine in Piazza del Republica din Florenta. Fotografia a fost publicata intai in paginile revistei Cosmopolitan (9/52) iar de atunci a aparut in nenumarate alte publicatii si este cunoscuta in intreaga lume.

After living in Israel for a few months, she continued her travels in Italy. In Florence, she met an art student in her hotel who became the subject for a picture story titled “Don’t Be Afraid to Travel Alone.” Orkin shot this timeless image at the Piazza del Repubblica. The photograph originally appeared in Cosmopolitan, (9/52) has now appeared in countless other publications, and is known throughout the world.
