With this showcase, I invite you to connect with others and experience the lives they are living. Some will be like mirrors, while others will be windows across the divide. The photographers in this showcase have connected to the world in deep and meaningful ways. In several projects, we see how young people have responded to the worlds they find themselves in, while others examine how culture is reflected in the food we eat and in the towns and landscapes we inhabit. From PhotoBook Journal we include a series of book reviews that span both globe and time, weaving together how we live with memory, the past, and the future.
