		<description><![CDATA[Zoe Strauss's America shines a light on the often unseen people and places in the United States today. Once in a great while, a photographer and their photographs break new ground and people sit right up and take notice. Zoe Strauss is such a photographer. The Philadelphia native who has brought us searing images of that city's marginalized people and places on the fringe of society, has taken her no holds barred, up close and personal style of photography to the roads less traveled across America.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Down These Mean Streets" examines fear and the abandonment of America's inner cities. Photographing only at night with a large format view camera, I work in a set routine by walking between the airport and central business district of each city I photograph. My focus is the neighborhoods you wouldnt want to be in at night; the part of town you drive through - not to.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["Hurry Up &#38; Wait" is an ongoing collection of images exploring the obscure and anonymous life of America’s trucking culture.  Driving for a year in our own tractor-trailer, we focus on the banal repetition and periods of isolation from constant movement on the road. These images are a byproduct of the world we entered and a glimpse of the places eighteen-wheelers are allowed. We are constantly faced with the same landscape regardless of location, from moments of obliged waiting in truck stops to backing into the docks of a warehouse. This is where we photograph.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this series, photographed over two years of travel, Justine Kurland focuses on the distinct, nomadic subculture of the hobo. Her images of trains, train-hoppers, and the American West allude to a hobo mythology developed in folk songs and literature. Kurland's method combines a documentary process with romantic idealism, giving her images a naturalism inflected by utopian fantasy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The focus of my photography is the Middle East, on women and children especially. Lebanon in particular is interesting because of its key location as a gate to the Middle East, between the West and the Arab world. I grew up and lived in both Lebanon and the U.S. I am a Lebanese insider who speaks the language, knows the country, and understands its people, but also an outsider who can see Lebanon and its complexities through Western eyes, who can still be intrigued by the dichotomies that are shocking to the Westerner, but unnoticed by the locals.]]></description>

Ten days of restless movement in and between four major cities, Grodna, Bobruisk, Mogilev and Minsk, seeking to satisfy my urge to document life as-it-is in this isolated, flat-terrained but otherwise stranger-friendly place.]]></description>
