In this showcase, I found myself drawn to projects that place children back inside the natural world. Most of the work here is observed — the quiet, attentive gaze of a photographer watching childhood unfold. We also have one project that looks back at childhood through the lens of remembrance: an adult trying to make sense of a world turned upside down by war, returning to the childhood landscape that was lost. From PhotoBook Journal, we have six reviews of books examining a wide range of approaches and experiences related to our theme of Childhood.
