America at Home: A Close-up Look at How We Live
By Rick Smolan and Jennifer Erwitt
Running Press Book Publishers, 240 pp., $40
The outcome of a national project involving everyone from professional photographers to people with camera phones, "America at Home" is an upbeat collection of portraits looking at how and where people spend their time when they're with those whom they love and support on a daily basis. The book records the routine rituals and touching moments that take place behind front doors, from Mcmansions to apartments to mobile homes. Above, Ruby Zelinski uses her father Dan's electric shaver to mow his morning whiskers.
