May 12-18, 2003, was a watershed week in the history of photography. For 24 hours a day for seven days, digital photographers across the nation, amateur and professional, were invited to take pictures of their cities and towns, friends and neighbors, and families and pets. They shot more than a million digital images during this one-week period. The very best of these photos, more than 1,200 in all, are showcased in this extraordinary visual time capsule of American life. As an inaugural event of the digital photography age, America 24/7 looks beyond the manufactured imagery of Hollywood and Madison Avenue to capture an authentic hometown portrait of America.
