American Photography 22

'American Photography 22' opens a window into the world of contemporary photography, and is a time capsule in the making. A distinguished jury of picture and publishing professionals selected 363 images from thousands of submissions across the globe. From the destruction and despair created by Hurricane Katrina to the misery and unending bloodshed of the war in Iraq; from the vastness of the American West to the steppes of Russia; from an airborne board rider to the whales of Patagonia – all aspects of life and the elements are represented. Work by today's masters is interspersed with pictures by photographers just beginning to make a name for themselves, creating a who's who in photography. Welcome to now.
