When he was young, Spanish photographer Miguel Soler-Roig would often visit his grandfather, the noted physician Dr. José Soler-Roig (1902–99), who was full of stories about the celebrated people he knew. He had been Pablo Picasso’s personal physician, as well as physician to Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí.

In Houston, the ambitious FotoFest celebrates its fortieth anniversary with the exhibition Global Visions, showcasing the work of more than 450 artists. The exhibition is a reminder of how much photography has been able to tell us, and prompts us to ask how much further it can go.
