ATWOOD AT WORK Photographer Jane Evelyn Atwood immerses herself in her projects until she feels she has covered her subjects as deeply as she can. She has completed studies on blind children, the French foreign legion, and landmine victims in Cambodia, Angola, Kosovo, Mozambique, and Afghanistan. Her 10-year project on incarcerated women took her to 40 prisons in Europe and America. The photographs on display in the current exhibit span from 1975 to 2005. Through Saturday, November 5, Tuesday-Saturday, noon-6 p.m., Leica Gallery, 670 Broadway, between Bond and 3rd streets, 212-777-3051, free.
