Youth of Belfast by Toby Binder
Northern Ireland will have to leave the European Union due to the United Kingdom’s Brexit, although a majority of its citizens voted to remain. While the Protestant Unionists voted to leave, the Catholic Nationalists wanted to remain.

This photo essay covers the situation of young people in Catholic and Protestant neighborhoods of Belfast. It shows that kids in Northern Ireland often suffer the same problems no matter on which side of the wall they live: unemployment, drug abuse, violence, and the lack of perspective.

Delta Hill Riders by Rory Doyle
After the Civil War, one in four cowboys in the United States were African American, yet this population is drastically underrepresented in popular accounts. This project sheds light on the subculture of African American cowboys and cowgirls in the rural Mississippi Delta.

Rory Doyle has captured black heritage rodeos, horse shows, trail rides, Cowboy Nights at black nightclubs, and subjects’ homes across the Delta. It’s a story that’s particularly timely in the current political environment, and one that provides a renewed focus on rural America. Doyle has captured a group of riders showing love for their horses and fellow cowboys/cowgirls, while also passing down traditions and historical perspectives among generations.
