Italian photographer Susanna Pozzoli was invited by the Harlem Studio Fellowship by Montrasio Arte, a privately funded non-profit residency program for international artists, to work on a photographic project in 2007. The result was a three years long fascinating portrait of all the buildings’ interiors (private houses, school, church, bar, doctor’s office) present in one single city block, the one where Harlem Studio Fellowship is located. The project is currently on view at the UCR California Museum of Photography in Los Angeles.

The cover of the current issue of National Geographic shows Mount St. Helen’s erupting on the morning of May 18, 1980. Photographed by Roger Werth for the Daily News.
