This issue’s authors seek to understand and convey past, place, human life, and the complex relationships among these through images from above, beneath, and beyond. Some of these images have been created through the authors’ own work, and some were created in the early days of aerial photography. Some are virtual, some are actual; some are resonant, some are static; all are, in some way, being preserved against the disintegrations we can predict.
