The Guide: December 2013 Edition

1 minute read
By TIME Photo Department

LightBox presents our monthly round-up of the best books, exhibitions and ways to experience photography beyond the web — from iconic American cinema scenes set in a Senegalese hotel and found identification photos from Uganda at war to Eliott Erwitt’s platinum prints in New York and never before photos of the Rolling Stones from Gered Mankowitz’s personal archive.

‘The Guide’ on LightBox publishes monthly. If you have submissions or suggestions for upcoming round-ups of the best books and exhibitions, feel free to pass them along via email before December 15. We’ll also be updating this gallery throughout the month.
