Future bookings, as made by the Federation, include: Chicago Art Center, April 26-May 16; Minneapolis University of Minnesota Gallery, June 1-22; Philadelphia Commercial Museum, July 4-Sept. 15; Louisville J. B. Speed Museum, Oct. 1-22; Omaha Joslyn Art Museum, Dec. 10.-31. The selection of 185 pictures (from the thousands upon thousands of memorable Look photos) took months of researching, rfetming and judging.

The resulting collection is a fascinating panorama of the world we live in; an exciting portrayal of the vitality and variety with which people?╟÷the high, the low, the famed, the obscure?╟÷lead their lives. We urge you to see the Federation's exhibit when it comes your way. )OK photographers are more than skilled flcture-takers. They are observers, interpreters, jcudents of human nature.
