Our 2nd Annual Images of the Year Competition
It's back...a photo competition as only American Photo could conceive it. We wanted to find the best images made in 2007, by professionals and amateurs alike. And we wanted to look at the entire visual culture, from photojournalism and portraiture to commercial and student work. Thousands of photographers from around the globe entered. And now it is time to reveal the winners.
