The American Youth show is headed to the Rochester Institute of Technology. The show will open with a reception on February 4 and photographer Erika Larsen will speak that evening. On February 18, Danny Wilcox Frazier will speak. Books will be available for sale and signing at both events.
A slideshow of images from the book was shown at Shrangi-La in Austin, Texas. It was a great night of food, hanging out outside and seeing work from all over the world and right here in central Texas.
If Slideluck is coming to your town and you’re a photographer or visual artist, be sure and submit work for consideration. It’s a great way to share your work with a very receptive audience. See more about SLPS at http://slideluckpotshow.com/

Peace, love and photography were in full force in Charlottesville, VA during the LOOK3 Festival of the Photograph. Here are some pictures of the Redux exhibit at the McGuffey Art Center.
From c-ville.com, the arts and culture website for Charlottesville, VA.
At McGuffey through June 28, “American Youth” presents companion images to the eponymous book capturing the daily existence of 18- to 24-year-olds in the U.S. Redux Pictures, a photography consortium out of New York City, sponsored the book. Capturing the diversity and spontaneity of young adult life, the prints feature 19-year-old paralyzed war veterans, Muslim daughters of Egyptian immigrants jumping on trampolines and Iowa teens skinny dipping at a popular river hangout. The photos are stirring in their honesty and in the voices captured both unspoken and painfully articulated by the camera.
American Youth was featured as the “book pick” in the June 2009 issue of Reader’s Digest.
