For one hundred fifty years the camera, in the hands of both professionals and amateurs, has been a relentless eyewitness to the challenges the country has faced and to the people who have shaped its triumphs. Photography has captured the beauty of an untamed land and recorded the drive and ingenuity that settled the continent, transformed the young nation into an industrial giant, and expanded its horizons into the heavens. The camera has preserved the everyday goings-on that, in the end, are the heart of every society. Most important, photographers have recorded the indomitable spirit of our people.
