New York 24/7

During one week in May 2003, more than 25,000 professionals and amateurs shot more than a million pictures. These images, sent to us via the Internet, compose a panoramic yet highly intimate view of Americans in celebration and sadness; in action and contemplation; at work, home, and school. The best of these photographs, more than 6,000, are collected in 51 volumes that make up the America 24/7 series: the landmark national volume America 24/7, published to critical acclaim in 2003, and the 50 state books published in 2004. - p. 4.
