From 12-18 May, America 24-7 is coordinating a project event that will capture pictures of everyday American life during the course of an ordinary American week, where they are inviting thousands of amateur and professional photographers to share in creating a 'national family album'.

Last weekend, I found a copy of the wonderful Height of Fashion book by Lisa Eisner and others. It features more than a hundred reader-submitted photographs of people remembering the day they felt at their 'most special' - a perfectly coordinated outfit, a long-remembered event, the moment when the subject felt 'themselves' more than any other time in their lives. Embarrassing fashion faux pas aside, this book makes you smile the whole way through. Highly recommended!

Philip-Lorca diCorcia spotlights faces in the crowd on the streets of New York, Tokyo, Calcutta and Mexico City, making an 'instant celebrity' of his subject as they walk into the path of a single overhead hidden light.

Currently on show at San Francisco's MOMA is a major exhibition by one of my favourite photographers, Andreas Gursky, documenting contemporary world culture and global commerce. His work is held in a number of important art museums around the world. Until 1 June.
