The exhibit travelled all over the world, and consisted of over 500 images of humanity taken by over 270 photographers, some famous, and some unknown. Steichen and his helpers had an image datebase of over 2 million photographs from which they selected 10,000 before choosing the final exhibit of just over 500. The Leica Users Group are a large internet family of like-minded people, who all share the joy and interest of using Leica cameras. Leicas have been associated with fine human and journalistic photography since the 1920s, and in 1954 - the year preceding the Family of Man exhibition - released their seminal camera, the M3, the design of which is still seen today in the M7. Another week, and the first Monday of October. You now have only a matter of weeks to submit images to the year 3 selection for our five year project: The Family of Man 2.
