But as you drill down into them, you start to see that they are also documents of loss." - The Washington Post, December 9, 2020"The images document abandoned industrial and residential sites, as well as the toxic side effects of urban growth. They shine a light on the consequences of past planning decisions, institutional racism, environmental disregard, and America’s unchecked manifest destiny." - Photobook JournalAlso featured in:DiggPhotographs by Travis FoxForeword by Philip KennicottRemains To Be Seen explores a disappearing but still tangible American landscape, from the rust-belt towns of the Midwest to the borscht-belt resorts of the Catskill mountains. Using aerial photography with documentary candor and precision, Travis Fox creates a visually sumptuous record of former industrial sites and abandoned neighborhoods that persist as incisions on the landscape, scars in the memory, and traces of healing. Fox finds patterns that would be undetectable from the ground, uncovering a new visual record of old and debilitating problems, from institutionalized racism to environmental destruction. Remains to be Seen offers a bracing vision of an America that has become so familiar that it is, paradoxically, invisible to many Americans. Through a view from above, detached but vulnerable, his camera counters that disappearance and connects old landscapes to contemporary conscience.Travis Fox is an Emmy Award-winning journalist and the Director of Visual Journalism at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY.Philip Kennicott is the Pulitzer Prize-winning Senior Art and Architecture Critic of the Washington Post.

Kirsten Lewis' curiosity regarding the everyday routine of raising children is what led me to begin spending anywhere between 24 and 72 hours simply documenting a family's unscripted life. With the birth of social media came the ability for anyone to present a highly curated version of themselves and their life, oftentimes under the social pressures to appear "perfect". Lewis has watched this directly affect how parents, especially mothers, share their life with the outside virtual world. Ultimately, this creates a feeling of isolation and loneliness, as parents are completely disconnected from the reality of their life and their tailored life online. This photographic exploration is an attempt to reveal the similarities Lewis has witnessed by photographing my subjects' vulnerability, challenges, joy, hardships and humorous moments of raising a family. Kirsten Lewis is an international photographer, educator and public speaker based in Colorado. Over the last 2 decades she has traveled to over 40 countries to work with organizations, non profits, companies and individuals creating documentary based pictures to aid in fundraising, advertising, awareness and personal family archive builds. In addition to photography, she has given over 80 presentations globally in the last 12 years of her career. View Details

While many of the source images date back to the mid-twentieth century, they have only recently been declassified and much information remains secret. These images represent the decades-long time delay from when knowledge comes into being and when it becomes publicly accessible. Some are deliberately concealed while others have been altered by repeated reproduction during their time in the archives. Evan Hume is an artist and educator living in Ames, Iowa, where he is Assistant Professor of Photography at Iowa State University. He earned his BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University and MFA from George Washington Univeristy. Raised in the Washington, DC area, Hume's approach to photography is informed by the experience of living in the nation’s political center for much of his life and focuses on the medium’s use as an instrument of the military-industrial complex. He has exhibited widely in solo and group exhibitions and his work has been featured by publications such as Aperture, Der Greif, Financial Times, and Fisheye. Hume’s first monograph, Viewing Distance, was published by Daylight Books in 2021. Lily Brewer holds a Ph.D. in History of Art and Architecture from the University of Pittsburgh specializing in modern and contemporary portrait and landscape photography in the United States southwest.
