"When I took this photo, my eyes were behind the camera, but my heart was with the people."
- Alan Taylor presents photos that document Building a Medieval Castle in the 21st Century. "More than 25 years ago, Michel Guyot, the owner of a French château, launched an experimental castle-building project," he writes. "Workers using tools and techniques from the 13th century have now completed most of Guédelon Castle, and about 300,000 visitors a year come to watch and learn."
- The Guardian presents images of attendees in costume at Comic-Con 2025 in San Diego.
