Eye Was There, We Are Still is a privately owned digital image collection containing over 100 scanned vernacular photographs taken by and of Dahlia Frankson in Kingston, Jamaica, Long Island, New York, and Aruba throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
These images were digitized and archived by Frankson's grandchild, Jazmin Maço, as a part of their Africana Studies Senior Thesis and Post-Baccalaureate Fellowship at Barnard's Digital Humanities Center and are currently organized in three collections:
- The Jamaica Files: Life on the Island
- Studio Portraiture: Visions of Professional Photography
- Tourism Photography: The 1994 Cruise
Take your time to look through these photographs, read about the history and development of photography in Jamaica throughout the 20th century, and check out our extensive reading list about Black women photographers and photography in the Caribbean.
