Seventeen years ago the Living American Master Photographers Project or LAMPP began as a continued visual and spoken document. Today LAMPP expands its mission to preserve and honor those individuals who render the history in which we see ourselves. On this evolving canvas our paths converge at the content created.
Today the photograph is an intimate member of virtually every environment. Our desire to see has become an inextricable companion. What we take of time is saved in the image. Where we are not, we place ourselves, extending our common individuality.
America's living master photographers are a national treasure. When participants pass away, their secrets and insights are lost. Few know their faces or stories. They bring our world to us, the world within, and the world beyond the fence; the world we love and sometimes the world we fear.
Participant experiences, wisdom, and light are the soul of LAMPP.

LAMPP Executive Director
