50 Main Street: The Face of America

In 50 Main Street, Piero Ribelli's photographs--the fruit of 47,000 miles of road and air travel--paint a 50-state portrait of a common address and the people who inhabit it. Ribelli, who immigrated to the U.S. in 1985, set out to find 50 different Americans with a home or business at 50 Main Street--one in each state--and take their photograph. 50 Main Street combines these Americans and their stories with his stunning images in a coast-to-Alaska-and-Hawaii tour of the United States, its landscapes, its stories and its Main Streets. His portraits provide a heartwarming view of the human side of the U.S., the personal histories and quirks that bring us together, in a book perfect for an armchair vacation or a reminder that what brings us together will always be stronger than what drives us apart. --Dani Alexis Ryskamp, blogger at The Book Cricket
