  • 2012. USA. Arizona. Jim Chilton illuminates a destroyed bullet-ridden car on his land. The car is unconnected to the drug violence to the south, and has been there as a shooting target for years. Chilton carries a six-shooter and two rifles in his car when traveling through his land. His 50,000 square acre ranch has 2000 heads of cattle. Thousands of illegal Mexican immigrants and drug smugglers pass through his land every year. A small barb wire fence is all that separates his land from Mexico.

  • 2017. Illinois. USA. Georgia de la Garza, a local environmental access in Southern Illinois. She is pictured from inside an abandoned house near the Eagle River Coal Mines-Franks LLC in Harrisburg, Illinois. Mining jobs have been the core of the economy in Southern Illinois for the past century, a source of stability, prosperity and pride. In the last few decades the number of jobs have declined to a small fraction of their former number, leaving the economy in shambles with few prospects for new forms of industry to take its place.
