Popis knihy

A truly global, collective picture of right here, right now, this book presents over 1,000 of the best, most telling images selected from the online photo journals found on the website of one of the liveliest digital communities: Fotolog, where millions of ordinary people obsessively document their daily lives. It is the ultimate fix for image junkies and an extraordinary document of and for our times. International in scope: the Fotolog phenomenon transcends national borders, language barriers and age gaps. Organized into themes with quotes and commentaries, and selected by a small group of Fotologgers, the book guides us through the creme de la creme of the millions of images and multitude of words buried in the digital archives of Fotolog. It forgoes those images deemed newsworthy by the press, that marketeers hope will be money-making, or gallerists judge to be art with a capital 'A' - presents instead what the fresh eyes of hundreds of ordinary men and women find beautiful, funny, moving or extraordinary.
