All over the world, millions of people are obsessively documenting their daily lives on Fotolog®, a 21st-century phenomenon that transcends national borders, language barriers and age gaps. This book guides us to the best of the 1 billion images and multitude of words buried in the digital archives of Fotolog®.

Organized into themes with quotes and commentaries, and selected by a small group of photobloggers – insiders who know where to find the most stunning images, the strangest sights, the most fascinating comments – this book shows us what the fresh eyes of hundreds of ordinary men and women find beautiful, funny, moving or bizarre.

It is an extraordinary document of and for our times.
