Joseph Sohm's VISIONS OF AMERICA book is now available in iPad Vook format from the iTunes Store!
VISIONS OF AMERICA addresses a single question: How do you photograph democracy? After all, democracy is an "idea," and not something one can easily wrap one's lens around. But photographing democracy is indeed what Joseph Sohm has done in this epic journey across the fifty states. Spanning three decades, tens of thousands of images were assembled in what becomes a compelling mosaic.
Visions of America is a perceptive work about both the photographer and the photographed. Reflecting on the wisdom of the founders, coupled with personal observations about American history, Sohm takes us on an insightful journey down the back roads and byways of the U.S., ultimately leading to a deeper understanding and appreciation of who we are as a nation and a people. Visions of America is a sweeping portrait of life in this American democracy, a portrait that shows us US, the United States.
