Parallel Perspectives

iStockphoto.com is the world's busiest online royalty-free image market. As of December, 2008, there were more than 65,000 iStockphoto artists around the world. The images in this book are a peek into their vastly different worlds.

"We've made it our business to document the world that surrounds us, to send in dispatches from every outpost. These are our bread and butter, but they also represent 65,000 different testimonials of the world as we see it. Those testimonials, taken together, make a kind of visual atlas of the world, the kind that isn't made by tourists and travelers, but by real people sharing personal moments, private epiphanies, and the revelatory happenings that make up a day in all of our lives." -iStock CEO and Founder Bruce Livingstone, from the introduction.

All proceeds of this book are donated to charity. Visit iStockphoto.com to find out more details.
