“Created Equal” is an amazing photo project of photographer Mark Laita that focuses on the contrasts between people, the lives and cultures through beautiful portraits in black and white. Laita worked on the project over the course of eight years. During this period, he visited forty-eight American states, taking photos of all kinds of people he met along the way. After collecting several thousand photos and selecting the best ones, the photographer presented his observations to the world in a book with the same name as the project itself.
