Pictures from the Outside — Chantal Zakari. Published by Eighteen Publications.
Pictures from the Outside is my favourite of this year’s collaborative projects. Created from an in-prison class, it is a book where Zakari is given prompts to photograph areas on the outside that have meaning to prisoners on the inside. The resulting images are a touching reflection on home, family, and social and economic change in the Boston area.
