This year's jury--composed of Kathy Ryan, Photo Editor of The New York Times Magazine; Stephen Frailey of the School of Visual Arts Photography Department; David Harris, Design Director of Vanity Fair; Lesley A. Martin, Executive Editor of Aperture; Stephen Mayes of Image Source and World Press Photo; and Greg Pond, Photo Editor for Fortune magazine--has found a treasure trove of images by seasoned professionals and talented emerging photographers. With the near-ubiquity of digital cameras, photographers are testing very new equipment and challenging us with results that are continually pushing this medium further than it has gone before. These photographers may be familiar to the art world, to the pages of fashion magazines or they may be out on the front line, getting heart-stopping journalistic shots that convey the true cost of conflict. American Photography explores what it means to use photographic images to communicate--how what we are saying and how we are saying it changes by degrees year after year. Among this year's roster are: Yael Ben-Zion, Paolo Pellegrin, Martin Parr, Annie Leibovitz, Brigitte Lacombe, Lauren Greenfield, Nan Goldin, Lee Friedlander, Luc Delahaye, Jean Paul Goude, Vincent Laforet, Spencer Platt, Martin Schoeller and Stephanie Sinclair.

Born in 1934, Lee Friedlander is one of the world's most important living photographers. Among his previous books are the seminal Self Portrait and The American Monument, and more recently, American Musicians, Letters from the People, Little Screens, The Desert Seen and Sticks & Stones. His work was the subject of a major 2005 retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Nan Goldin, born in Washington, D.C., in 1953, lives and works in New York and London. She has had solo exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, among many others. Among Goldin's numerous books are Devil's Playground, I'll Be Your Mirror and The Ballad of Sexual Dependency. Brigitte Lacombe became involved with photography when she left school to apprentice in the Elle Paris darkroom. She discovered her love for the performing arts at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival, where she met Dustin Hoffman and Donald Sutherland and was invited onto the set of Fellini's Casanova. Her photographs have graced the pages of The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, Pariz Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Conde Nast Traveler. 'Paolo Pellegrin became a nominee member of Magnum in 2001, when he won the EuroFuji/Italy Award and the Leica Medal of Excellence. The journalist and historian Tim Judah, author of Kosovo: War and Revenge, has provided a definitive text that catalogues the violent story of Kosovo, one of attrition and strife.' Martin Parr is a key figure in the world of photography, widely recognized as a brilliant satirist of contemporary life. He is the author of over 30 photography books, including Common Sense, Our True Intent Is All for Your Delight and Boring Postcards, and his photographs have been collected by museums worldwide, including the Getty, The Museum of Modern Art and the Tate Modern. Parr was featured in Cruel and Tender, the Tate Modern's major survey of photography in 2003, and a retrospective of his work that opened at the Barbican Art Gallery in London in 2002 continues to tour major museums around the world.
