The 50 States Project

A simple idea that brings together 50 photographers all residing in one of the 50 States of the U.S of A. A year long project which will produce 300 images reflecting ‘people’, ‘habitat’, ‘landscape’, ‘industry’ and a final fifth assignment to be sent via the powers of email on the 1st of November 2009. The chosen 50 photographers will then have two months to respond to the unknown subject capturing how they perceive the State they reside in. A great project that not only showcases the diversity of talent behind the lens but also the diversity of a country that occupies a mighty 6.5% of the entire globes land mass. This project really gives you an insight into just how large America is. Above is one of my favourite images of the series, taken by Steve Davis (not to be confused with the 80’s world champion snooker player) residing in Washington conveying his interpretation of ‘industry’. see more of the collection here.
