Redux Pictures and Contrasto invite you to the book launch of American Youth on Friday, May 15. From 6 - 7:30pm at St. Ann's Warehouse (38 Water Street, Brooklyn).

Joining them will be photography directors Bill Black (Reader's Digest), Bruce Perez (Redbook), and Allyson Torrisi (Popular Mechanics).

The 240-page photography book examines the newest generation of 18 to 24-year-olds, observing young couples and Mormon missionaries, debutante balls and drunken tailgate stupors, war widows and B-boys, street kids and lobstermen. Work from the book will be exhibited at the New York Photo Festival from May 13 - 17.
