In Scialom’s world, Maryland in general and Baltimore in particular has soul.

Even if it’s seemingly commonplace, there is always a new way to look at things.”

Greeson might still be new to Michigan, but the photojournalist is, without doubt, committed to the state. “The purpose of my feed is to act as a pair of eyes for people who can’t be physically present. [When I covered] Flint’s water crisis, Instagram was a crucial way to remind people the daily struggles that the residents of Flint were facing. It was a way for me to be like ‘Hey!
