Driving through hot brushy country in the late autumn, I saw a hawk crucified on a barbed-wire fence. I guess as a kind of advertisement to other hawks, saying from the pages of a leading women’s  magazine, "She’s beautiful, but burn all the maps to your body. I’m not here of my own choosing.” The Double-Bed Dream Gallows by Richard Brautigan • • • This is @maddiemcgarvey in Columbus, Ohio and @annieflanagan in New Orleans, Louisiana taking over this week! Stay tuned as we interpret some poems and share some mash ups from the South and the Midwest <3

Ottavia Fabbri @ottaviafabbriphotography and Nicolás Enriquez @nicolasenriquezphoto for @Echosight . Photography made our paths cross in New York two years ago, and we never left each other from the day we met. Today we are happily married and find ourselves extremely lucky to share the same passion and even more excited to blend our respective work for this collaboration. We are sharing combined images from current projects we are working on : the Bloodline, a photo essay documenting the life of the Latin Kings gang in The U.S. and Europe and, One in Three, a photo essay offering a glimpse of the luxurious lifestyle found in the Principality of Monaco. Both of our works talk about a lifestyle that is hard of access to foreigners; we juxtapose two extremes that match in their uniqueness and complexity. We hope you will enjoy and thanks for following along! #echosight #doubleexposure #multipleexposure #collaboration #blend #montage #Monaco #MonteCarlo #OttaviaFabbri #oneinthree #NicolasEnriquez #NewYork

"Like bugs drawn to light, people pour into Dhaka. Its alleys and roads and slums, its gated communities and high rise buildings. Our lives, each iota of our happiness and hurt is bound within the confines of this space, this fragile, vulnerable city we call home. Over the next few days we will try and tell stories of (and from) the city, and we welcome you to come along."

Hello! This is Dania Maxwell (@dania_maxwell) and Lena Mucha (@lena_mucha) coming at you from Los Angeles and Berlin. When we combined our photographs from our time in the Colombian Amazon, we saw that they both spoke of cultural fluidity. The people who are indigenous to this land are not myths of the past, they are living, breathing people. #amazon #school #bodypaint #echosight #doubleexposure #colab #colombia #losangeles #berlin #amazonjungle #tikuna #culturesisafluidconcept #sharemore

Hey there, Kholood Eid (@kholoodeid) & Jess Lehrman (@jessierocks) here taking over Echosight. We're documentary photographers based in Brooklyn—and only a few subway stops away from each other. • *This is the only photo we talked about giving context. The woman (who I believe is a journalist) was reacting to a lone, belligerent Trump supporter as he weaved his way to the front of a CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) rally in NYC supporting Muslims the week the travel ban was announced. -- And the image of Trump is from a @nytimes portrait shoot in his office atop the Trump Tower in NYC #multipleexposure #collaboration #echosight #mashup #justsaykhess • P.S. My students through @smartnsaltyparks wanted shoutouts here after their multiple exposure lesson last week. Today's goes to @chaos.chxld

Hi everyone, John Farmer de la Torre and Showkat Nanda here for our last day taking over Echo/Sight. Happy Easter! Thanks again for liking our work so far! Please add us to your social media feeds: IG/TW@farmerdelatorre, FB@johnfarmerdelatorre. IG/TW@showkatnanda, FB@showkatnanda123 Today we see sisters Alicia Hutsell, foreground, and her sister Pam, flex their strength in tiny Graff, Missouri. Pam has chosen to make a living using her body as she has shunned formal education and insists upon living in the state's rural ghetto. Alicia has chosen to leave the countryside to pursue a college education in journalism. See #theothercountrythemovie Showkat shows us a group of young Kashmiri high school students sitting in a classroom. They are intelligent and bright girls who talk about science, technology, religion, and politics with great confidence. Today, many are doctors, engineers, and college graduates. #echosight #doubleexposure #montage #collab #farmerdelatorre #showkatnanda #missouri #kashmir #empowerment #education DISCUSSION: J: Could we talk about women's education and the untapped potential of more than 50 percent of the planet's population and talent pool? S: Why not! While interviewing these girls, they said that their veil is protection, not subjugation, and it doesn't hinder their progress as educated, forward-looking, ambitious students! J: You brought up the veil. It is a complicated issue. So is the education of women in some parts of conservative Muslim countries. S: It might be a complicated issue in the Middle East but in Kashmir, women don a veil by choice. It's seen as a very normal thing culturally. J: Right. Here we have distrust among many about the value of education even though it's widely available. From this doubt has grown illiteracy and the inability to distinguish truth from propaganda. And we no longer educate to produce wise people. We do it to create meat machines, some for hard labor, some for corporations. S: It's started happening all over the world. Education these days is more job-oriented rather than for an overall development of a person. Like you said, machines!

Hello! This is Michelle Gustafson @michellegustafson and Laura Grace McClintock @pastelpeppermint and we're excited to share our work with you on @echosight this week. We connected through photography but have since become good friends! Michelle is based in Philadelphia and Laura in NYC. The subjects we choose to focus on as photographers are quite different, so we decided to see this week as a celebration of the many ways to see the world, experimenting towards an unknown outcome with our combined images, and ultimately, our individual insight. Michelle's images are from an ongoing project called Sons of the City documenting street basketball history and culture in Philadelphia and Laura's are landscapes made on a recent trip to North Western Tasmania, an agricultural area of huge natural beauty but also isolation and poverty. We hope you enjoy our takeover! This image: Three boys sit on the bench during a league playoff game at 10th and Oxford St. in North Philadelphia. Youth leagues all over the city have long been apart of street basketball, viewed by many as a peaceful common ground from gang and turf wars. Blended with an image of a native red flowering gum by the road in Table Cape, Tasmania, Australia. #echosight #blender #mashup #Philadelphia #basketball #australia #tasmania

Hello! Danny Wilcox Frazier @dannywilcoxfrazier (out of Iowa) and John Tully @jtully (out of New Hampshire) are taking over the feed this week to bring you reflections from the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. We’ll be responding to images made from one another during the 2016 race to the White House with images from beyond the podiums, the rallies and the immediate political sphere. Stay tuned! Waiting for the arrival of Bernie Sanders for campaign stop in Fairfield, Iowa on January 28, 2016. Donald Trump addresses members of the media before the start of a rally in Milford, New Hampshire on February 2, 2016. #echosight #collab #iowa #newhampshire #politics #viiphoto

Ciao! This is @claudiagori and @barbaraleolini taking over this week from Italy. We are both freelance photographers with an addiction to details. "Details" will be the fil rouge of our mashup.
