Breathing and souls are connected. So connected that when breathing in the same rhythm with somebody, you might be able to see their souls. For such an encounter, a trusting bridge is needed to connect one soul to another. Francesko is the only female chimney sweeper in Estonia, who ends up with a job in a "breathing camp". While people struggle with their inner child, trying to reconnect via breathing, Francesko helps their house to breathe and ponders her life's problems in a characteristically simplistic way.

Flying in a motorized paraglider over one of the most diverse continents in the world, George Steinmetz captures the stunning beauty of Africa's landscapes and people. His pictures show not only the spectacular patterns of the land, but also the potential and hope that the continent encompasses. Steinmetz made his first trip to Africa while in college, and spent two and a half years hitch-hiking across the continent. "I didn't have a goal to change Africa. I just wanted to marinate in it," he said. A self-taught photographer, Steinmetz has traveled through more than 30 countries in Africa photographing its diverse wildlife, landscape and culture. For the past decade much of his work has involved flying a ultralight aircraft to photograph remote landscapes. His foot-launched aircraft consists of a backpack motor and paraglider-style wing.
