'Out of Eden', Walking the Globe Documented by John Stanmeyer

"My dear friend and colleague, Paul Salopek, is the walker, me his Passepartout. Since early 2013 Paul has walked more than 18,000 KM (11,000 miles), from the origins of Homo Sapiens through 16 countries. I have walked around 800 KM (500 miles), often backward when being with Paul…if not, the one image in each issue of National Geographic magazine of my friend would only be of his sides, or bum.

Paul is not the story. Out of Eden, now into its ninth chapter publishing in the November issue, is a story about all of us. A visual narrative of who, as humanity, we are today. A global journey following the migration of our ancestors that began some 50,000-70,000 years ago from a region today we call the Horn of Africa.

So far I have walked, driven, even owned a mule, through Ethiopia, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the Palestinian Territory, Israel, Turkey, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and all of north India, trying to tell a story on our commonality, often a heavy narrative of who we are today. As I write these words, Paul’s feet are on the ground in the longest continuous country of the walk; China. Once COVID restriction ease, I will rejoin Paul through a land I know well.

Of the 18 stories I have photographed for National Geographic, the Out of Eden Walk is like no story I have ever done. Creating an indisputable testimony of our commonality that we are all sisters and brothers on the only place we can live — earth."

Join us to learn more about 'Out of Eden' by John Stanmeyer, and how printing plays a large role is his work.

A Photo Story by Scott Barrow: Crossing to Block Island

Scott tells a unique story using the photos taken from a ferry ride to Block Island. The "Crossing To Block Island" story is really about how "getting there" can often be as visually rewarding as "being there". That's not to say that my 3 hour drive from the Berkshires to the Point Judith ferry is something I look forward to, but once I am on the "boat" I feel like I'm already on Block Island. This near constant companion to the island is at once a partner, provider, taxi, life line, welcome wagon, coffee hour host, happy hour bar tender and to a large degree, an extended family member. Every trip is unique and I have 55 minutes during the crossing to explore the ship, the passengers and the extremely animated sea. I will be showing these "speed dating" images as well as a selection of my Block Island favorites.
