Today is World Photography Day, a global celebration of the power of images to document, connect and tell stories in ways that words sometimes can't.

In honor of this day, we're sharing images from more familiar ground: everyday moments of gathering in communities across the United States. In scenes both big and small, joyful and challenging, ordinary and extraordinary, people come together — family and friends, neighbors and strangers — in shared space.

Seen through the lens of NPR member station photographers, Here, together. is a visual exploration of those moments and the smaller worlds we move through every day. Together, they reflect the complex ways we connect, coexist and navigate life side-by-side.
