A Photographic Celebration

Over a balmy June weekend in the summer of 2000, 37 photographers and 4 professional mentors scoured urban and rural landscapes to capture the lively pulse of modern-day Illinois. From the serene fields of Amish country to the hustle and bustle of city life, the photos lavishly showcase Illinois' environmental, cultural and architectural diversity.
