\"Emily,<\/a>
Emily, 11, poses for a photo with her fellow competitors. Emily is not pleased with the outcome of this pageant– she had hoped to get a higher title. Emily Dextraze is an eleven-year-old beauty pageant competitor who lives in Westfield, Massachusetts, a small town of 42,000 people in Western New England located about two hours west of Boston, Massachusetts.
The beauty pageant industry in the United States is estimated to be worth 5 billion U.S. dollars annually; the estimated number of pageants in the U.S. ranges from 5,000 to 100,000, according to an Internet search. It is conservatively estimated that 2.5 million American girls, from babies to teenagers, participate.
The cost to a family for a daughter to participate in a pageant ranges from $1500 to considerably more. Entry fees, elaborate costumes, makeup, hairdressing, artificial tans and weeks of professional coaching contribute to the high cost. Photo by Ilana Panich-Linsman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ever since Ilana Panich-Linsman<\/a> graduated from the Williston Northampton School in 2002, her career as a photographer has been on an amazing upward trajectory.<\/p>\n

A former student of photography teacher Ed Hing, Ms. Panich-Linsman earned her bachelor\u2019s degree at Scripps College before completing the Eddie Adams Workshop, earning a master\u2019s degree in photojournalism and documentary photography from University of the Arts, London, and graduating from the International Center of Photography\u2019s photojournalism program, where she received a Director\u2019s Fellowship.<\/p>\n

Mr. Hing noted that, even as a high school sophomore, Ms. Panich-Linsman started at a higher level than most students.<\/p>\n

\u201cIlana was a student that always took her photography a step beyond expectations,\u201d he wrote in an email. \u201cThe imagery was personal and inventive and she was willing to push herself outside of her comfort zone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Hing recalled a biography assignment that Ms. Panich-Linsman completed with flair by calling the subject, noted photojournalist Mary Ellen Mark, for an interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew she had the determination to make things happen,\u201d Mr. Hing wrote. \u201cWe’ve talked at many points throughout her career building years and it’s been amazing to be able to watch her succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"SAN<\/a>
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS – M.P., 21, waits with her 2 year old daughter at the San Antonio Greyhound Bus Station for a bus to Houston where she has family. November 10, 2015: Asylum-seeking women, most of them with children, have been bussed to San Antonio’s central bus station from Dilley Residential Center or Karnes County Residential Center. Organizations including the Interfaith Welcome Coalition and the Red Cross greet the majority of women at the Greyhound Bus Station and assist the women in traveling on or offer temporary shelter in San Antonio. From here, many will transport to family members throughout the country. Others will go to Raices House, a shelter in San Antonio, where they will be assisted. Most women are forced to wear electronic ankle monitors. Ilana Panich-Linsman for The New York Times<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On January 21, Ms. Panich-Linsman will return to Williston to talk about her documentary photography, as well as working for such clients as The New York Times<\/em>, The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, The Washington Post<\/em>, NBC News<\/em>, The Boston Globe<\/em>, Al Jazeera America, and CNN.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a thrill to see her credit line on a regular basis in The\u00a0New York Times<\/em>,\u201d Mr. Hing wrote. \u201cI’m not surprised by what she’s accomplished so far. She’s telling thoughtful and interesting stories with her images and she’s still in the early stages of her career.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms. Panich-Linsman was named one of Magnum Photo’s 30 under 30 2014, and received the Multimedia Award at the 2010 Lumix Festival for Young Photojournalism. She was nominated for the World Press Photo Joop Swart Masterclass and participated in the VII Mentorship Program, assisting Stephanie Sinclair and Donna Ferrato.<\/p>\n
