Eugene Cole, 86-year-old resident of Ontario, Ore. on the porch outside his house on June 7, 2021. Over the past five years, the city of Ontario has been disproportionately targeting and fining residents such as Cole in lower-income neighborhoods for code enforcement violations. Many of these fines are of extreme prices (many in the thousands range) for violations as simple as overgrowth. In Cole's case, he worked on junk cars as a career and was fined repeatedly for having said cars in his yard while he was working on them.

Ryley Gibson, Siobhán Gibson's son, scales to the top of his mom's dance pole in the master bedroom. Siobhán stumbled into pole dancing when she saw a new studio in her small town of Novato, Cali. called “Entangled and Sway,” that she thought was for tango classes. After realizing what it really was, she decided to go for it anyway, thinking it’d be a fun way to reclaim her body after such a destructive pregnancy. She became hooked and now dances three times a week in addition to the practice she does on the home pole her husband Jason bought for during the pandemic.

Siobhán Gibson leaves for her pole class as her family bids her goodbye by clucking like chickens. She did this “chicken dance” one day with her oldest son as a joke when her husband was leaving the house, and it stuck. Now, every time someone is leaving, the kids run up and down the driveway flapping their arms and clucking until the person leaving is out of sight.

Taylor Talbot began losing her sight at 2 years old and was legally blind by 8 from a rare degenerative eye disease called retinitis pigmentosa. Now 20 years old, she has lost all sight in her right eye and only has ~5% tunnel vision in her left. And yet her sight has hardly hindered her passions in life nor her determination as an athlete. In 2021, she qualified for the 2020 Summer Paralympics in Tokyo, only to have her qualification revoked after a miscalculation. She fought hard for her spot to stay on Team USA and through her athletic grit, emotional perseverance and family support, Talbot ended up competing alongside her teammates in Tokyo in the 100- and 400-meter dashes.
