Power moved slowly through Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and Wyoming before heading back to Colorado. In a later trip he travelled to Alaska and then another lengthy trip to Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and upstate New York. This new book includes some of these new images alongside those taken on previous trips. Power has described the process to be like 'assembling a large and complicated jigsaw puzzle with little idea of what the final picture will be.' Each book in the series has represented a shift in mood or tone. This latest book has seen the human presence subtly move from the peripheries or the incidental in the landscape to being a more integral part of some images. The tone of the book is more optimistic than previously, and the human presence diminishes a sense of isolation so often present in the vast landscape. In the background on his recent trips the political landscape had shifted with the election of Joe Biden as 46th President. Power was aware that although domestic US politics seemed less dramatic and eventful under the new president, that the country remained divided with the next election around the corner.

The story behind each photograph is unique.

For 17 years Preston Gannaway has been photographing a boy called EJ following the death of his mother. Her new book, Remember Me is about becoming and the passage of time, while exploring themes of mortality, loss and masculinity. Gannaway was working as a young photojournalist at the Concord Monitor in New Hampshire when she was assigned in 2006 to work on a story focusing on a family--the St. Pierres--in which the mother, Carolynne, was dying of liver cancer. During afternoons when the kids were at school and Rich, the father was at work, it was Carolynne to whom Gannaway became closest. 'It came to me only later -- and I still have to remind myself of this in the frequent rush to get things done -- how crucial this time was. Time not making pictures is just as important as time making them. One depends on the other.' After Carolynne's passing, Gannaway stayed in touch with the family. EJ--Carolynne and Rich's youngest son who had been four-years old when Carolynne died --became the focus of the project.. EJ first appears as a small boy and is shown navigating his way to adulthood. Images of everyday details, landscapes and portraits collectively create a longitudinal essay on the impermanence of the human experience. The project is still ongoing.
