Family of Man 2

In 1955 Edward Steichen launched a photographic project called The Family of Man. The exhibit travelled all over the world, and consisted of over 500 images of humanity taken by over 270 photographers, some famous, and some unknown. Steichen and his helpers had an image datebase of over 2 million photographs from which they selected 10,000 before choosing the final exhibit of just over 500.

The project "The Family of Man 2" will run from 2000 to 2005, with a yearly contest and selection of images for inclusion in an eventual travelling exhibition for the year 2006.
