America 24/7 was a photography book published by DK in 2003 about culture and life in the United States. It depicts life of Americans from every U.S. State.[1][2][3][4]

Collecting

[edit]

Between May 12–18, 2003, digital photographers were asked to take pictures of cities and towns, friends, neighbors, families, and animals. More than 25,000 photographers responded. Photographers ranged from first-time users to international photojournalists and newspaper shooters. Included in these were 36 Pulitzer Prize winners.

Project

[edit]

The project was created by Rick Smolan and David Elliot Cohen, the team behind the New York Times #1 Bestseller: A Day in the Life of America.
