How do you illustrate the connection between people and nature?

At the twilight of the Soviet Era, from 1986-1990, David Hlynsky, a photographer from the American Midwest, made some 8000 color exposures with his Hasselblad of shop windows and storefronts throughout the Eastern Bloc capitals. A selection of those are being published for the first time in his new book Window-Shopping Through the Iron Curtain (out this month from Thames & Hudson), some 25 years later amidst revived Russian aggression in Europe, and renewed interest in the East-West divide.

In Sierra Leone, my home for the past two years, Ebola has taken over every part of life. People talk of little else. And with case numbers still rising, it looks set to continue that way for some time to come. These pictures, from Sierra Leone and Liberia, span the duration of the outbreak and aim to give a sense of the tragedy that is unfolding.

For the past 33 years, photographer Barbara Peacock has been documenting her hometown. Using seven cameras, five types of film, and an iPhone, her work has consistently captured the familiar: people and places that surround her life. Her project not only reflects the evolution of a place, but the changing technology of photography. Now that the project is completed, Barbara is raising money to create a “color and black and white book worthy of this little slice of time in my hometown’s history, in the evolution of photography, and in the journey of my life as an artist. This is my homage to my hometown”.
