Will Hunt was awarded a residency for this spring at the MacDowell Colony in Peterborough, NH, where he will be working on his non-fiction book about subterranean space, titled “Underground: A Human History of the World Beneath our Feet”, which will be published by Random House in 2016. Giacomo Fortunato placed third in the Lifestyle category of the International Photography Awards for his photo “Coexistence.” He describes his photo as “show[ing] the interactions between people and their surroundings. The places themselves are not the focus of the work, but rather are settings for my analysis on how people interact and the underlying tension between themselves and these places.”
