This was the last book published by Mary Ellen Mark, an American photographer, before her death in 2015. It contains portraits of different individuals in her unique style. Her images capture her subjects both unaware of her presence as a photographer and staring into the heart of her lens. They contain everything from children living in poverty to street performers to loving families. Her images are united by a common theme of emotion. Whether it be through the thousand yard stare of young sisters or through the smile a mother gives her son as she pulls him from a bathtub, Mark had an incredible ability to transform the mundane into the incredible and the incredible into the spectacular.

Between Spaces: Garry Loughlin
Whilst there is a photography tradition of documenting the American road trip, I felt that traveling by bike would expose me to opportunities and encounters that could be overlooked if travelled by car or bus. Taking a slower pace and being on my own speed allowed me, as an observer passing through small American towns, to see the beauty in the banality of everyday life. I feel the decision to cycle not only gave me a stronger connection the landscape but also to the people I met along the way.

He reinvests the image with the power to shock, and forces us to to consider the human cost of of conflict without evoking either disbelief or grief.
