The carousel below contains a selection of over 100 photos of immigrants, migrants and sojourners; five come from actual passports or consular documents and the rest are from U.S. passport applications. This selection highlights the breadth, diversity, and arresting beauty of the portraits.

The photographers are mostly anonymous and the places they were shot, unknown, but we can say something definitive about the subjects and that fundamentally changes the way we look into them rather than at them.

My plan is to integrate many or all of the photo collections already assembled into this scalar website.
