Read Rockford Squire Article

"How many amateur photographers made it into the book, vs. professionals? - The work of 32 students and 30 amateurs appear in the book. A few amateur images were good enough to be featured as 2-page spreads. This was an amazing opportunity for aspiring photographers to be discovered. Their work was reviewed by photo editors from top publications such as Time, Fortune, Newsweek, The Washington Post and The New York Times. A few even got professional assignments from these top publications."

- David Elliot Cohen, Project Director, America 24/7
