Just got through looking at my freshly arrived copy of Mitch Epstein's most recent effort, American Power. Initial thoughts are that the scope of the project is huge, extremely ambitious, and every single photograph is beautifully executed.

Very excited to hear him speak at PPAC next Thursday evening right here in Philly. I am specifically looking forward to hearing how he sees the seemingly disparate photographs in the project relate to one another, and of course his photo thoughts in general.
* For those of you who can't make it to the lecture check out this great interview with him here (video).
