Mission Series
American Photo and Microsoft partnered last year to sponsor six photographers to go out and create entirely new bodies of work. The subject of their focus was volunteerism. Their goal was to document the spirit that drives people to work and sacrifice in order to improve the condition of others.
The photographers involved in this project were:
Matthew Jordan Smith
Vincent Versace
Frank Jacobs
Phil Borges
Art Wolfe
Steve McCurry
You can see the results of their project at http://missionseries.popphoto.com/
