The first publication to document the photojournalists teenage crosscountry American bike journeyAt the age of 17, American photojournalist Ruth Orkin (192185) traveled across the United States alone, with nothing but her bicycle, photo equipment and $25 in her pocket. Over a fourmonth period, she took 350 photographs: urban scenes, numerous selfportraits and striking compositions framed by her bicycle. In each city she visited, local newspapers covered her story, interviewing and photographing her. With the unexpected publicity, she was invited everywhere, given tickets to shows and even gifted a new twowheeler. Orkins stated aim upon departure was to visit the New York Worlds Fair, but the transcontinental adventure proved far more decisive. It was a defining moment in her personal and artistic development, confirming the old adage: its not the destination, its the journey.The inaugural project of one of the great 20thcentury American photographers is unveiled here for the very first time. A text by French photography historian Clment Chroux accompanies the photo project, illuminating the historical and aesthetic context of Orkins American romp. An image of a bold, modern woman with a bold, modern photographic philosophy emerges into view.
