100 Young Americans

A gorgeous website and fascinating topic, giving first-person accounts of what it's like to be young in America. A teaser for a book of the same name, the site offers an annotated look at the book's contents. Absolutely captivating. This is the type of site that makes me proud to work in the web industry.


One Hundred Young Americans is the first book to paint the full picture of youth culture in America today. Gorgeously photographed and meticulously researched, this year-long project represents photographer Michael Franzini's 30,000-mile journey in search of what it truly means to be a teenager in this hyper-connected, media-driven society.
