Scott"The New York Times Magazine" (08/23/2011)Easily one of the most impressive photography books of the year--Rebecca Horne"The Wall Street Journal" (12/05/2011) .

Edited by Kathy Ryan, longtime photo editor of the Magazine, and with a preface by former editorial director Gerald Marzorati, this volume presents some of the finest commissioned photographs worldwide in four sections: reportage, portraiture, style and conceptual photography, including photo illustration.
