The World In Photos
A World Seen Through Everyone’s Eyes
TWIP was constructed around a simple but mighty mission, which was to establish an open, living archive of the planet. We are convinced that photography must help to connect people beyond borders and keep our visual memory.
The contribution of each member is a part of a world mosaic – a visual dictionary made by the real ones, to the real ones.
Together with thousands of photographers and explorers who post their visions and assist in documenting each end of our world, join.
