The Character Project

I dont remember where I got this link. But I think its so cool. This is what they had on aperture.org

Character Project is an ongoing artistic initiative
committed to celebrating America's characters—the interesting, dazzling, and
distinctive people, from all walks of life, who make this country extraordinary.
Inspired by USA Network's iconic "Characters Welcome" brand, and with the
support of Aperture Foundation, USA assembled a team of eleven world-class
photographers to capture the character of America. Each artist's vision was as
unique as the people and places they photographed. From Alaska to New York, the
subjects they encountered are a stunning example of our country's diversity. The
musicians and mothers, fishermen and farmers, athletes and artists, at home, at
work, and at play, are a true representation of what it means to live in America
today. Reminding us, once again, that we are all characters. And we're all
welcome.
