- Yahoo news! The only book on the pandemic from the Viewpoint of Underrepresented Communitieshttps://www.yahoo.com/now/scopio-publishes-only-photography-book-163200507.html"The Year Time Stopped" Offers Historic Images From 100 Photographers Around the WorldLOS ANGELES, August 11, 2022--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Scopio, a photography storytelling platform and the first female-founded NFT marketplace, is pleased to announce the publication of The Year Time Stopped: The Global Pandemic in Photos.Published by HarperOne/HarperCollins, and curated by Scopio CEO Christina Hawatmeh and co-founder Nour Chamoun, the award-winning 200-photo compendium offers an in-depth examination of 2020 through the eyes of 100+ photographers globally. In conjunction, Scopio produced a free audiobook on YouTube and Spotify, making the stories more accessible. In it, each photographer tells the story of the photo in the book.Beginning with the theme "Alone" and ending with "Together," the book’s striking images provide a historical record. Its photos highlight the human toll – a California airport turned parking lot for hundreds of furloughed planes; mourners in Jakarta; New York City’s empty Times Square that usually teems with thousands of tourists – and continues with other 2020 events: protests for Black Lives Matter; and Bogota, Colombia, where street vendors faced pandemic bans and fought back by attempting to burn the police station. Humanity is seen up-close: Neighbors cheer health workers in Spain, worshippers social distance in Nigeria, and Ecuadorian women dance in traditional costume.The book concludes with a hopeful message: "During the pandemic, we were not alone. Technology allowed us to capture rich imagery and our shared experience like never before. The pandemic uncovered many truths, including deep-seated injustice. Social movements bubbled up. The world was connected like never before," said Hawatmeh.The book has garnered critical acclaim thus far and hit the #1 release on Amazon in photojournalism and photo history. The images can be purchased as NFTs or as a moment of history on OpenSea. As part of its book tour, Christina Hawatmeh is available for speaking engagements.About Scopio:Scopio is a photography-focused storytelling platform where anyone can share and sell images from around the world. As the first female-founded NFT marketplace, its goal is to elevate human stories told by those from underrepresented communities and regions.

THE YEAR TIME STOPPED has been selected as a Living Now Book of the Year! It has received a gold medal under the Mind category.This is what the judges had to say:COVID-19 has ravaged the lives and health of millions of people for over two years. The Year Time Stopped really struck our judges though for how it documented the psychological effect it has had, especially during lockdown. The visual documentation from all over the world resonated with them- the images of loneliness, community, getting back to nature, returning to “normal” but distanced. We continue to learn about the long term effects of the virus, but we are only starting to collectively look at the ways it has changed us mentally.To see the full list of winners: https://livingnowawards.com/158/2022-medalists2 min

28 min - Recap of book signing at Left Bank books. Learn how Scopio started with just $50,000 and the WHY?
In this episode CEO Christina Hawatmeh reads an article by Nicki‘s Central West End Guide about the year time stopped the launch at Left bank books in Saint Louis, Missouri.
In June, Left Bank Books held a book signing for St. Louis native Christina Hawatmeh, one of the few in-person author events held since the pandemic began. Coincidentally, the pandemic is precisely what Hawatmeh’s book is about. The Year Time Stopped, The Global Pandemic in Photos, features 200 photographs from around the world depicting the beauty and the turbulence of 2020.
Hawatmeh, who grew up in West County, now divides her time between New York and L.A. After earning her graduate degree at Columbia University, she was unable to find funding for her start-up idea in New York. She then applied for a St. Louis-based Arch Grant, and in 2015 was awarded $50,000 to build Scopio, a community-based image marketplace, where people around the world share their photographs and stories. “Anyone, anywhere can share images and get hired for their creative skills on Scopio in less than 3 minutes.”
To date, 15,000 photographers from 193 countries have posted 1,000,000 photographs on the site. The photographs can be purchased as “high-quality, authentic images, and as NFTs (non-fungible tokens).”
Since the launch of Scopio, Hawatmeh has been recognized as the first woman to create an NFT photography marketplace. She was also featured in Business Insider and Forbes Magazine, and finally got that N.Y. recognition she missed out on earlier, when New York Finance named her one of 2021’s “Top Entrepreneurs to Follow.”
A book wasn’t in the plans for Hawatmeh and Scopio CPO Nour Chamoun, but to their surprise their large social media presence attracted the attention of publisher Harper Collins, and so they forged ahead. They sifted through thousands of photographs to find the best that told the story of the tumultuous year. Their book offers “an unforgettable visual history that captures the world’s response to major events that defined 2020— from COVID to sweeping movements for racial and social justice.” (Here is a link to portions of the book accompanied by audio from the photographers.)...
