American Prospects - A Photobook Dummies meetup

“All of my work has been about ideas of utopia and dystopia. I think that’s what gives America interest. It’s many things all at once.”
- Joel Sternfeld

Peril and possibility, then, make ours a time of momentous decision.”
- Prospect for America, The Rockefeller Panel Reports, 1960
