Today: The End

Goodbyes are never easy. And so it is with Today, our weekly smorgasbord of images curated by Eric Baker, which concludes with this final post. At turns serendipitous and soothing, comical and heartbreaking, evocative in their scope and beauty and sheer vernacular madness, Baker’s photo essays remind us that visual storytelling lies at the core of who and what we are. “Learn from yesterday, live for today,” Albert Einstein once wrote. “And hope for tomorrow.”
And so we do. From all of us at Design Observer: Thank You, Eric.
