9 Photo Stories That Will Challenge Your View Of The World

The Olympics are over, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun. We look at some of the faces that figure skaters make on the ice, and Nic Antaya photos of snowmobile races with more hats than the Kentucky Derby. Cielito Vivas photographed the history of the all-Black Chocolate Ballerina Company The Nutcracker in Philadelphia, and The Luupe collected a photographer’s vision of love on Valentine’s Day. NPR looks at Tiffany J. Sutton’s gorgeous and Grant-winning photos of Black women in his life, and Time looks at Arlene Gottfried’s tender documentation of one man’s struggle with mental illness over twenty years.

We didn’t choose a side in the Super Bowl last weekend, so we look back at the last time the Cincinnati Bengals were in the game (Ronald Reagan was president) and why it’s amazing to have a Super Bowl in Los Angeles. We also see what Ottawa’s “Freedom Convoy” looks like as Canadians protesting the vaccine mandate enter their third week of occupying Canada’s capital.
