Here is a project worthy of mention: The 50 States Project sent out invitations this year to one photographer in every state of the US asking them to capture their home state (and photography style) through five different assignments. I have collected a few of my favorites here, which represent just a slice of the broad range of styles and insightful dialogue that goes on between the photographer and their surroundings.
Pictured is Todd Stewart’s Untitled from the Landscape assignment.
The five assignments include People, Habitat, Landscape and Industry with a final one to be announced in November 2009.
