Chance Encounters in The Valley of Lights
Chance Encounters in the Valley of Lights tells the story of an unsolved extraterrestrial case from 1980s Todmorden, West Yorkshire.

Separation
The European Union, or the Council of Europe as it was known when it was founded
in 1949, brought in tremendous change to society permeating its very core. The
benefits were of economic, cultural and security nature but some also argued
that it erased their national identity. One of the biggest improvements, though,

Beach Boulevard
Brian O’Neill is an Illinois-based sociologist and photographer whose work looks
at the human condition and society’s relationship to nature. He investigates the
various meanings of “industry” and how it affects local communities and
environments. Beach Boulevard, his first photographic publication, is a small

actually got to our current sta

Casitas

Everyone in Japan was affected in one way or another. The Japanese
government soon began to erect a gigantic wall at the cost of billions in
the northeast region of the country after the earthquake that caused the
tsunami.
Front Yard
The front yard is as much a metaphor as it is a space. Homes reflect the material successes of their inhabitants, their aesthetic tastes, and concrete the ties that bind family, lovers, and friends. When the shelter-in-place order was announced in March and time came to a proverbial standstill, I turned to my community to make portraits of people in their front yards.
The Palaces of Memory
Stuart Freedman has the kind of experience in photojournalism that the word
“expansive” hardly does it justice. Born in London, he has been a

Spiegel and The
