Thousands of fans pack local ski clubs to witness competitors launch themselves from the large towers that rise menacingly above the flat Midwest landscape.

He is 2019 Eastern Ski Jumping Champion and has skied the Midwest Tour every year for the past decade. Peter Geye is the author of three award-winning novels. A former ski jumper, he lives and works in Minneapolis. Chris Lamb is a New Hampshire native and former USA Ski Jumping team member. He ski jumped competitively for nearly twenty years, seven of which were spent on the international circuit, and he continues to fly for fun when possible.

A selection of the resulting photographs, moving portraits of survivors -- both Sandinistas and Contras -- as well as exquisite landscapes and still lifes significant to the war, are gathered together here in Kunishi's first monograph.The photographs within Los Restos are notational records of the collective memory of those involved.

In popular mythology, few professions are as emblematic of this mobile, ambitious and commercially minded nation as the traveling salesman. As the Internet and outsourcing make this once ubiquitous occupation obsolete, May the Road Rise to Meet You explores the life of a businessman alone on the road. On a larger scale, this project explores the changing nature of “the road” in American culture and in the history of photography. With these images, Sara Macel creates a visual narrative of her father’s life, separate from his family structure. In the same way that a family photo album presents an idealized version of their history, these photographs are the way in which both Macel and her father want the visual narrative of his working life to be remembered.Featured in The New Yorker, Wired Magazine and The Telegraph.
