After three extremely eventful Wednesdays (an insurrection, an impeachment, and then an inauguration), many of us were grateful for a smooth transition into a new administration.
Photographer Greg Kahn was in the nation’s capital to show us the eerily empty streets ahead of the inauguration, while Farrah Skeiky talked to DC residents about how they were processing everything that had happened in their city in January of this year.
We collected some of the best photographs of the inauguration itself to share.
The internet also took a long, nostalgic look at both Biden’s long road to the presidency and the unbridled, unmasked glamor of former inaugural balls — man, remember parties?
Meanwhile, Peter van Agtmael’s photographs help us remember the last chaotic 12 months of the Trump presidency.
Outside of politics, we look at Cara Romero redefining Native American art, the difficulties of Ethiopians fleeing to Sudan, and the life of pioneering photographer Grace Robertson.
