Despite the crowds and the hype, this show is an opportunity to witness the current 21st century sensations in international photography from the present moment to days-gone-by.

Billed as “the largest Photographic Art Exposition in the United States,” more than 80 galleries and private dealers representing International and U.S. artists will be on display.

Of course it represents mostly the "stars" of today and yesteryear, but several emerging artists from around the world will also be featured, and the rare one-of-a-kind anonymous photo can be discovered in tucked-away bins, as well.

Check it out if you can make it to Santa Monica, California, USA, January 20 – 23. Website: Photo LA.
