Waits/Corbijn
Now back in print, this stunning, award- winning visual odyssey encapsulates the essence of Tom Waits' enigmatic persona and Anton Corbijn's distinctive photographic style. Spanning over three decades, this extraordinary book showcases the enduring collaboration between a legendary musician and a renowned Dutch photographer--a creative symbiosis that has produced some of the most memorable images in rock and roll history. Structured chronologically, it traces Waits' evolution as an artist alongside Corbijn's development as a photographer whose starkly evocative images capture Waits in a multitude of settings, from gritty urban landscapes to intimate studio sessions. Through Corbijn's lens, Waits emerges not just as a musician but as a multifaceted character, embodying the spirit of the troubadour, the poet, and the raconteur. A final section features Waits' own photography along with poems, stories, and collages. As Jim Jarmusch comments in the introduction, "A collection of images of Tom Waits seen through the eyes of Anton Corbijn is something special, some kind of vortex, an axis of evil geniuses." Tom Waits fans, photography enthusiasts, and anyone seeking insight into the joy of collaboration will find much to discover in this inspiring partnership between two artistic visionaries and friends.
Jackie Nickerson: Clad
Prioritizing self-identity over glossy fantasy, Nickerson's fashion photography embodies both her artistic and feminist visionPhotographer Jackie Nickerson (born 1960) has worked for some of the world's leading luxury brands and magazines, including Louis Vuitton, Yeezy, Herm癡s, Dior, Vogue and Vanity Fair, and yet her fashion photography maintains an anti-commercial stance, the conviction that dressing and dressing up are less about clothes and more about the selves they help us to discover. "I think of clothing as a kind of architecture and part of my job is to find the right environment for it," she says. Often these environments are outside, shaped by changing rhythms of light and a sense of narrative, sometimes theatrical, nearly always open-ended. Clad is the first book wholly dedicated to Nickerson's fashion photography. In 400 pages and nearly as many images, it captures her fascination for clothing, both as object and act, as well as her interest in texture and costume.
Lake Verea: Modern Barrag獺n
A diaristic archive of pilgrimages to Luis Barrag獺n's modernist abode In this intimate archive, the contemporary Mexican photographer duo Lake Verea record their pilgrimages, made over the course of nearly two decades, to the house of Mexican architect Luis Barrag獺n (1902-88). As devotees of the architect, the duo began photographing the modernist mecca in 2006, endeavoring to approach as closely as possible to Barrag獺n's spirit. The artists sat in his chairs, opened his closets, listened in silence and kissed in the house's enchanted garden. Modern Barrag獺n compiles the fruits of their reverent labor. The photographs capture the house across a myriad of atmospheric conditions--in daylight, under the light of the full moon, by streetlight and against stormy skies. Flash photography lends the house a spectral quality; rubbed with aluminum sheets, the walls reveal their hidden textures, evoking the hidden memories contained within the home. As a spiritual sequel to the couple's photobook on Anni and Josef Albers, also published by Hatje Cantz, Modern Barrag獺n is a one-of-a-kind yet double-sided look into the hidden facets behind the legendary name. Based in Mexico City, Lake Verea comprises Francisca Rivero-Lake Cortina (born 1973) and Carla Verea Hern獺ndez (born 1978). Their "expanded photography" practice incorporates both analog and digital formats as well as mediums including textiles and performance.
Jackie Nickerson: Stateside
Nickerson's sweeping, fragmented visual diary of a decade living and working across the USFrom Chicago to Hawaii, from Utah to New York, Jackie Nickerson (born 1960) uses digital, film and smartphone cameras to capture repeated motifs--gas stations, chainlink fences, classrooms, basketball courts--that serve as markers of sameness amid this peculiar, precarious time.
Luis Bayl籀n: Los Espa簽oles
The essence of Spain's cities and its people through the black-and-white photographs of Luis Bayl籀nPublished with Delpire.

A Singular People
A pictorial view of the Separatist community of Zoar The community of Zoar has been a tourist attraction since it was founded in 1817, due in part to its uncommon experiment in Christian communal living, its German heritage, and its location on the Ohio & Erie Canal. Unlike many 19th-century communal societies, Zoar did not discourage tourism and "gawkers." As a result, there is an unusually rich photographic record of the community and its people as well as many descriptions and comments by writers who wished to share their impressions of the Old World town. Tourists snapped photos of themselves riding on haywagons, boating on Zoar Lake, and walking in the Zoar Separatists' symbolic garden. The Zoarites themselves got into the act as well, taking commercial photos of themselves and their town to be sold as postcards. Fernandez uses many previously unpublished photographs from the Ohio Historical Society's collections and captions them with the words of journalists, diarists, and other visitors. Today a restored village with a ten-museum complex operated by the Ohio Historical Society, Zoar has consciously maintained its German roots. Zoar continues to attract the curious individual, the traveler, the day-tripper, and the magazine and newspaper writers..
Cleveland's Urban Landscape
"Every city has its own textures, its own special relationship to land and water, its own light, its own night. Cleveland's history-haunted, labor-encrusted, smoke-grimed nights is a place as varied in texture as any in America. It echoes in the interior darkness of the camera lens during lonely, leisurely hours as Levy wanders the city. Levy's photos seek realities that can spark some recognition at a subconscious level, a combination of eye and time and device that suddenly, sometimes, generates a new type of seeing."--Douglas Max Utter, Foreword In 1999 Cleveland Plain Dealer photographer Michael S. Levy was given an assignment by his editor to provide images for a feature article about research being conducted by members of Cleveland State University's Center for Sacred Landmarks. Cleveland's Urban Landscape is the product of that assignment. The photographs in this book are an exploration of Cleveland's landscape from mundane objects like fire hydrants and billboards to the magnificent--a sunset over Lake Erie or the steeple of one of the many historic churches scattered across the city. Levy's images are full of life, movement, mystery, sadness, and beauty as he contrasts disparate elements. Through Levy's photographs, we see the history of Cleveland as it changes from one era to another. Cleveland's Urban Landscape will appeal to those interested in photography or Cleveland's heritage.
Drug Wars
Drug Wars: Supply and Demand by Jonathan Alpeyrie is a raw, powerful exploration of the global drug trade, uniquely captured through the lens of one of the world's most acclaimed photojournalists. Known for his immersive approach, Alpeyrie has earned international recognition for documenting conflicts and crises from within, gaining access to worlds few others can. His previous work, including The Shattered Lens (Simon & Schuster, 2013), detailing his captivity during the Syrian Civil War, cemented his place as a leading figure in global photojournalism. What sets Alpeyrie's photography apart is his deep personal immersion in the environments he documents. He doesn't just observe--he becomes part of the story. In Drug Wars: Supply and Demand, this approach allows him to capture the drug trade in a way no one else can. From rural drug production hubs in Latin America to cartel-controlled territories and the streets of the United States, his access and intimate perspective yield extraordinary images. His commitment to telling important, often overlooked stories is evident in every photograph, offering a rare, unfiltered glimpse into the lives of those affected by the drug trade. The book features over 150 evocative images that bring the complexities of the drug war to life. Through his lens, Alpeyrie conveys the human cost, political ramifications, and social devastation of this global crisis. Drug Wars: Supply and Demand presents a visual narrative that is both urgent and unforgettable--one that demands to be seen and understood.
Racing Unfiltered
When motorsport and automotive photographer Jamey Price first saw the NASCAR promotional film cameras from the 1990s show up on another photographer's social media feed, he knew he had to have one.

They will just freeze in below zero temperatures. But they also capture magic.From the IMSA races to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Formula 1 races around the world to Monterey Car Week and Lamborghini events, Racing Unfiltered chronicles Price's year-long journey to capture the highs, lows, and candid moments of motorsport racing, all through the lens of vintage film cameras.

Amphibious Realities
AN ACUTE, OVERARCHING ANALYSIS OF ALLAN SEKULA'S PHOTOGRAPHY, FILM AND PROSE, ILLUMINATING HIS CRITIQUE OF NEOLIBERAL CAPITALISM The photographer, filmmaker and theorist Allan Sekula (1951-2013) was one of the most significant media intellectuals of the last fifty years, renowned for a sequence of compelling anti-capitalist artworks. This penetrating study pursues surprising paths through his practice, delineating the depicted top­ics as well as his dialectics of form. Posing new questions about the rela­tions between aesthetics and politics, Gail Day and Steve Edwards consider Sekula's examination of image modes alongside his radical investigations of terraqueous capitalism.
Jane Fulton Alt: Still Life
How one woman sublimated sorrow into regeneration by carrying through her deceased husband's ambitious native garden projectCelebrated American photographer Jane Fulton Alt (born 1951) was never a gardener. That changed overnight when her husband Howard unexpectedly died, leaving behind a partially realized native garden--his response to a deepening concern about climate change. With the help and encouragement of her husband's mentors, she picked up a spade and began to dig, assuming full stewardship of the native garden while finding a new source of creativity and sustenance amid the grieving process.Still Life: A Photographer's Journey through Grief and Gardening is a story of resilience.

Robert Adams: Along the Canadian Border
A slender meditation on nature's ceaseless indifference to human affairs, as expressed through 10 gleaming photographs of the skiesFor more than 50 years, the legendary American photographer Robert Adams (born 1937) has made black-and-white photographs documenting the imprint of human development on the landscape of the American West. His austere, rigorously composed photographs capture with unflinching precision both the beauty of nature and the exploitation and degradation man has subjected it to. In Along the Canadian Border, Adams obliquely addresses our fraught societal moment, alluding to the distance between brutal political forces and policies and the resilience of the natural world. Turning his camera to the sky, he presents 10 luminous photographs of clouds, each indifferent to human boundaries and conflicts. Adams borrows the title of the book from a poem by William Stafford, who writes that, in the face of strife and pomp, "the only heroic thing is the sky."
Soviet Scientific Institutes
Cosmic rays and rumored climate-altering weapons--a treasure trove of never-before-documented Soviet-era research sitesIn Soviet Scientific Institutes, French photographer Eric Lusito (born 1976) takes readers on a journey through time, space and science. Gigantic control panels, monumental telescopes, inexplicable machinery--the facilities he documents might be found in comic book and graphic novel fantasies or the science fiction of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. But why were these institutes built and what purposes do they serve today?The Soviets promoted science as a utopian ideal to replace religion and rapidly modernize the country. "Big science" projects, primarily for Cold War military purposes, involved thousands of researchers working in complete secrecy. In the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many institutes were left destitute, their sophisticated technology condemned to extinction. But some scientists persevered, adapting to the new landscape. Today, defying the odds, they persist--even in wartime--to continue their work.Lusito gained unique access to sites across former republics and satellites of the USSR--from a cosmic ray research center in the remote Armenian mountains, to one of the world's largest radars located in Ukraine, which locals believed to be a climate-altering weapon. Featuring a cover with a tactile laser-cut pattern replicating the punched paper tape used by early Soviet computers, Soviet Scientific Institutes is the first visual account of this once-closed world. Lusito's photographs capture the unintentional and unexpected beauty of scientific technology and bear witness to our never-ending quest for knowledge.
Hanauri
A multimedia historical arrangement of the identity and iconography of Japanese street flower peddlers of the 19th centuryUsing a variety of mediums to analyze a single subject, Hanauri is a project dedicated to the eponymous flower-selling peddlers of Edo and Meiji Japan. Artist and collector Linda Fregni Nagler selects 26 albumen prints from the mid-19th century and presents them alongside six large silver salt prints hand-colored by the artist and four stereoscopic glass positives, all depicting this class of street vendor. In conversation with these photographs, Fregni Nagler draws in a swath of contemporaneous materials: woodcuts that decry the iconography of hanauri; prints by Utagawa Kunisada including Toyokuni III from the series Six sellers on summer evenings; precious kesa textiles from the MAO collection; three kimonos; and fine lacquerware and kakemono. Together, these objects provide a link to image-making both before and after the invention of photography.

Albarr獺n Cabrera: Windows to the Unexpected
The meditative photographic experiments of the Spanish duo Albarr獺n Cabrera makes us witnesses to spontaneous revelations on time, nature, place and selfFollowing their bestselling book, Remembering the Future (2019), the artist duo Albarr獺n Cabrera, consisting of Angel Albarr獺n (born 1969) and Anna Cabrera (born 1969), return with Windows to the Unexpected, the second volume in the trilogy highlighting their unconventional nature photography. Having worked together for over 20 years, the pair's harmony shines in their delicate renderings of Mother Earth's fine details, using a limited color palette and captivating framing to reveal the unexpected in the world around us. Inspired by Julio Cort獺zar's essay of the same name, this sequel challenges conventional notions of reality by asserting that "being conscious of our surroundings isn't just an important part of life--our surroundings and how we interpret them is life as we know it."Albarr獺n Cabrera are widely recognized for their mastery of various photo printing techniques--including platinum, palladium, cyanotype and gelatin silver processes--while pioneering and developing new techniques in their color prints, which incorporate pigments, Japanese paper and gold leaf. Their material, formal and narrative experiments endow Windows to the Unexpected with a sense of transcendence, highlighting the extraordinary within the ordinary.
Ruth Lauer Manenti: 4 Sides of the Table
An intimate reflection on loss, mourning and memory, made manifest through Manenti's spectral black-and-white photographyUpon receiving a large-format camera in 2012, the American photographer Ruth Lauer Manenti (born 1968) at last accessed a poetic sensibility she had first sought within drawing and painting. Her spectral photographs evoke the ephemeral motion of life and the vertiginous memories it impresses. In her new series, 4 Sides of The Table, made from 2022 to 2024, Manenti continues her meditation upon time's passage. The inciting image for this series emerged from an intimate, sorrowful scene: her mother's best friend, June, reading poetry as Manenti's mother lay dying in bed. In the wake of loss, Manenti found within June a maternal replacement. She began photographing June in segmented parts from various angles: hands, legs, front, back, partial views. When June's own daughter unexpectedly died, Manenti, too, became a replacement. Together, Manenti and June document the poignant work of mourning--the effort to preserve the unseen through new material forms.
Maya Goded: The Serpent's Trail
A slipcased ecofeminist testimony to the challenges and complexities faced by Mexican women, interwoven with images, spoken accounts, historical archives and philosophical reflectionsPublished with El Mojado Ediciones. Mexican photographer and documentary filmmaker Maya Goded (born 1967) explores wounded territories--from the Atacama Desert to the jungles of Chiapas--where the body of the earth and the bodies of women serve as both stage and witness to historical violence, extractivism and oblivion. Fusing photography, poetry, testimony and essay, The Serpent's Trail emerges from a personal quest, as the photographer explores her maternal lineage that is marked by wars, migrations and abuse, drawing parallels with the experiences of Indigenous women, miners, healers and land defenders. The serpent--an ancestral symbol of transformation and feminine wisdom--serves as the guiding motif of this spiraling narrative, embracing cyclicality in contrast to the linear, patriarchal logic of destructive progress. Featuring three interfolding booklets, the volume is a ritual act of memory, mourning and rebirth--an ecofeminist proposal that reimagines the relationship between humanity and nature from the root, from the feminine, from the serpent.

Photography and Citizenship
How the United States' most successful photography exhibition actually undermined the country's Cold War-era propaganda and isolationist policiesCurated by Edward Steichen, The Family of Man, an exhibition of some 500 photographs from around the world first shown at the Museum of Modern Art in 1955, was the most globally successful art event of the cultural Cold War, with an attendance of some 10 million by the tour's end in 1962. Though much has been written about the exhibition, it remains an event that is poorly understood. Photography and Citizenship offers radically new readings of the cultural work accomplished by the exhibition and of Steichen's aesthetic achievement. The Family of Man was not, as has so often been argued, a retreat from politics into the comforts of a universalist humanism. Instead, Steichen tapped into the prevalent discourse of "the human condition" as well as the aspirations for an emergent postwar world order to fashion a pedagogy of liberal democratic and cosmopolitan citizenship.
Sandro Miller: On Earth as It Is Not in Heaven
Spanning cultures, identities and emotions, Miller's portraits capture the raw essence of the human conditionChicago-based photographer Sandro Miller (born 1958) has photographed both the famous and the anonymous, from celebrities such as John Malkovich to a series on female cancer survivors. On Earth as It Is Not in Heaven is his tribute to humankind. The portraits collected here are of actors, athletes, celebrities and ordinary people of every culture, race and gender--all of whom are experiencing life as it has been dealt to them. Taken at 1/25th of a second, these images capture the minute flashes of joy, suffering, wisdom and experience accrued throughout the journey of life that we all take. Miller makes his portraits neither for himself nor the subject, but for the viewer--to help feel deeper the joys, the struggles and everything else we feel during that short time we call a life.
The End of Nature?

Peter Lindbergh. Azzedine Ala簿a
Peter Lindbergh and Azzedine Ala簿a, the photographer and the couturier, were united by their love of black, a love that they would cultivate alike in silver print and solid color garments. Lindbergh ceaselessly turned to black and white to signify his search for authenticity in the faces he brought to light. Ala簿a drew on the monochrome of timeless clothes to create veritable sculptures for the body.In this book, the unique dialogue between the two artists is immortalized in print. Illustrating their community of spirit, its images are a celebration of their artistic partnership and testament to their history-making achievements in photography and fashion.Despite their geographically opposed origins, Lindbergh and Ala簿a pursued similar horizons. At the same time as Lindbergh's reputation in Germany was growing thanks to his work in Stern magazine, and he set up his studio in Paris in 1978, Ala簿a was the couturier shrouded in discretion whose sophisticated techniques were a treasured secret amongst the most important clients of Haute Couture.Ala簿a became the architect of bodies, revealing and unveiling them, while Lindbergh distinguished them by shining a light on their soul and personality. Step by step, they became the creators that dominated their respective disciplines. Both rejected any artifice that distracted from their true subject, and it is with great ease that they came together for a number of powerful collaborations.Shared inspirations and aesthetic values are visible throughout their work. A beach in Le Touquet and the streets of old Paris reference a mutual love of black and white cinema and vast panoramas. The backdrop of an engine room illustrates the memory of an industrial German landscape for one and references the inordinate passion for functional design and architecture held by the other. Ala簿a's clothes act as pedestals for the smiles and eyes of the women who wear them: Nadja Auermann, Mariacarla Boscono, Naomi Campbell, Anna Cleveland, Dilone, Lucy Dixon, Vanessa Duve, Helene Fischer, Pia Frithiof, Jade Jagger, Maria Johnson, Milla Jovovich, Lynne Koester, Ariane Koizumi, Yasmin Le Bon, Madonna, Kristen McMenamy, Tatjana Patitz, Linda Spierings, Tina Turner, Marie-Sophie Wilson, Lindsey Wixson. For Lindbergh, who built his notoriety on the images of these supermodels, the authenticity of their traits is all that matters. The result is a potent black and white catalogue that reverberates with truthfulness and beauty.With contritutions by Fabrice Hergott, director of the Mus矇e d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Paolo Roversi, photographer, and Olivier Saillard, fashion historian and director of the Fondation Azzedine Ala簿a, Paris.
Mario Testino. Ciao
Widely regarded as one of the most influential fashion and portrait photographers, Mario Testino is responsible for the creation of emblematic images, transmitting emotion and energy in an open and intimate way. Throughout his four-decade career, Testino has been on a journey beyond the world of fashion capturing Earth's traditions and cultures with unparalleled access and an extraordinarily unique point of view. Peruvian by birth, Testino's intimate connection to Italy found its roots in his Italian heritage, but blossomed when he experienced the country for himself. Discovering Italy was, for Testino, synonymous with discovering his passion for fashion. "Rome was all about the hottest, latest trends and fresh new styling, and I loved the way Italians could shed the latest look for an even newer thing without ever losing their own identity." In Ciao, Testino handpicks his favorite images of Italy, a country that has featured heavily in his life, from his friendships and breathtaking vistas to quintessentially Italian iconic fashion shoots and Italians' ever-evolving allure to their effervescent lifestyle. Featuring three sections, OUT AND ABOUT, IN FASHION, and AT SEA, the result is a highly personal journey across the country through Testino's lens paying homage to Italy, and it's culture as well as a chronicle of 40 years of genre-defining photography.
The Whiles
"Just as long as I have been searching for meaningful compositions and striking light on the streets of NY, I have been searching my archive to find that special shot I took 15, 20 years ago or even yesterday. I organize imagery using descriptive words, dates, names and location. For instance, I'll search " BROADWAY" or " BIRD " or "CROSSWALK". The groupings that emerge are always fascinating to me, the random connective threads sometimes disparate, tell a story a new story. These stories are about how we move within a cityscape, communicate, love, fight, dance and survive. The streets are like a canvas where a piece of wood in a trash can becomes a beautiful sculpture, where the rooftops are a spiritual respite from the streets -- yet still part of the same pulse, the same club. The way we move through public space -- walking, dancing, skating, or even fighting -- has a distinct rhythm, a pace that belongs distinctly to NYC. This is The Whiles." -Cheryl Dunn

Good News from Hale
What happens when timeless wisdom meets the soul of the American South?Good News from Hale: The Sermons of James Thomas Terry presents a collection of twelve powerful sermons delivered over some fifty years (1956-2007) by United Methodist minister J. Thomas Terry. These messages, lightly edited to preserve their original spoken nature, adhere to the seasoned bishop's advice: "Preach about God.

Hale County was significant to Terry (Tom), as it was where he was born, raised, frequently visited, and ultimately retired. The images serve as a visual reflection of the county and the land Tom loved.Discover the wisdom of faith and service that springs from the land Tom Terry loved.
Reflections in Black
Originally published in 2000, Reflections in Black was the first single-volume work to collect the images of leading African American photographers--from the daguerreotype to the digital age. Through its sheer power and inherent beauty, Deborah Willis's groundbreaking assemblage of photographs of African American life from 1840 to the present triumphantly celebrated family, endurance, and spirituality over the last two centuries as it upended stereotypes and rewrote American history. Aware that so much has changed since 2000, Willis--a world-renowned photographer, curator, and author--has now created a breathtaking twenty-fifth anniversary edition, juxtaposing hundreds of images that appeared in the original edition with 130 new ones. As the photographic panorama unfolds, we are immersed in hugely moving glimpses of African American life, from the last generation of enslaved people to the urban pioneers of the great migrations of the 1920s, from the rare antebellum daguerreotypes of freemen to the courtly celebrants of the Harlem Renaissance, and from civil rights activists to the postmodern photographic artists of the digital age. Each photograph suggests an astonishing, often spellbinding story. Augustus Washington's mid-nineteenth-century portraits of key abolitionist figures, for example, offer a seemingly calm window into an era known for its violence. A startling suite of J. P. Ball photographs depicts the life, death, and burial of a Black man hanged for murder in the Montana Territory. Documenting a vibrant family life and a nascent Black middle class as well as Black tenant farmers and educators, the book features James VanDerZee's famous shot of Marcus Garvey in a Universal Negro Improvement Association parade; Addison N. Scurlock's dignified portraits of Black intellectuals, artists, and musicians; and John W. Mosley's World War II-era image of a young drum majorette in an Elks parade in Philadelphia. Reflections in Black also includes a stunning array of celebrity images, among them Booker T. Washington, Langston Hughes, Gladys Bentley, W. E. B. Du Bois, James Baldwin, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, and a veiled Coretta Scott King, now accompanied in this edition by Michelle Obama, the Roots, and Angela Davis. This enhanced volume, with a new foreword from Robin D. G. Kelley and a coda from Kalia Brooks, once again affirms the power of photography to reconfigure our conception of Black life in the African diaspora and American history. Featuring the works of photographers such as Albert Chong, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Lorna Simpson, Allison Janae Hamilton, Renee Cox, Carrie Mae Weems, Andre D. Wagner, and Hank Willis Thomas, this new edition is dedicated to the artists who stretch the definition of photography, creating pieces more akin to multimedia and conceptual art. Written and curated during the COVID-19 pandemic and in the aftermath of the brutal killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Tony McDade, the images that follow serve as a visual response to these unthinkable experiences as well as to the beauty of life. Exceptionally handsome and historically consequential, Reflections in Black is not only the rare volume that can be given as a gift on any occasion but a work so significant that it has the power to reconfigure the imagination. This anniversary edition demands to be included in every American's library as an essential part of our country's heritage.
Good News from Hale
What happens when timeless wisdom meets the soul of the American South?Good News from Hale: The Sermons of James Thomas Terry presents a collection of twelve powerful sermons delivered over some fifty years (1956-2007) by United Methodist minister J. Thomas Terry. These messages, lightly edited to preserve their original spoken nature, adhere to the seasoned bishop's advice: "Preach about God. Preach about twenty minutes".Terry's works tackle fundamental concepts of Christian living, focusing on themes such as the deceptiveness of the gradual, the economy of God, learning to put worry behind you, the challenge that Christianity is something you do, and the truth that the best part of life is giving. His sermons emphasize the need for spiritual strength, new beginnings, and answering the call to serve.The volume pairs these spiritual reflections with powerful, independent photographs of Hale County, Alabama, captured by Donald Olivares in 2024 and 2025. Hale County was significant to Terry (Tom), as it was where he was born, raised, frequently visited, and ultimately retired. The images serve as a visual reflection of the county and the land Tom loved.Discover the wisdom of faith and service that springs from the land Tom Terry loved.
The Stillness of Life
The Stillness of Life is a new book of still life photographs and landscapes by Sir Don McCullin--a majority of which are previously unpublished. The publication of the book coincides with the photographer's 90th birthday and offers a contemplative and meditative review of his work spanning decades.McCullin's has been creating still life arrangements in his garden shed at home in Somerset since the early 1980s. He arranges disparate inanimate objects with fruits and flowers as a kind of shrine to pay respect to the idea of transience versus permanence. These self-styled altars act as a homage to beauty, to the changing seasons and the fleeting passage of time.The landscapes in the book are gathered from throughout McCullin's career--from early photographs of the Industrial North of the UK, to India, Africa and more recent images taken closer to home. Shot to enhance a metallic light, lowering skies and the denuded trees; there can be a sense of foreboding and desolation in the landscapes, as if the photographer were contemplating the aftermath of a battle scene. Vast eternities are suggested in his expanses of desert sand and biblical drama in his silver-edged cloudscapes. Any figures in the frame are incidental and merely contribute to the composition--a departure from the human-focused documentary work for which McCullin became known.The still lifes and landscapes are united by McCullin's ability to both tell and print a compelling story within the frame. They demonstrate his mastery of lighting--using shadows and minimal highlights to create a sense of drama and depth, to animate objects or create poetry within a landscape. McCullin also maintains focus on texture in both genres--the delicacy of flower petals or the smooth wood of a statue in a still life, and the contrast of water and mud in his landscapes. In these traditional genres of still life and landscape, McCullin's contemporary vision breathes new life and beauty into the everyday.

Screen Towers
Captures the history, cultural impact, and visual beauty of America's iconic drive-in movie theaters.Beginning in 1933 and expanding greatly after World War II, mid-century America saw a boom in the construction of large outdoor screen towers on which a projected movie image could be viewed from a parked car. Actually, hundreds of parked cars. This was the era of the drive-in movie theater, which saw the marriage of the automobile and the Hollywood movie. At its peak during the 1950s and 1960s, more than 4,000 drive-in theaters dotted the American landscape, coast to coast.Starting in 1971, Steve Fitch traveled throughout the United States photographing many of these drive-in theaters, concentrating on the often stunning neon and painted murals that decorated the street-facing (back) side of the tower that supported the white, rectangular screen. These dramatic murals often depicted scenes that related to the local history of the surrounding community, and they could be seen from many miles away. Working with black-and-white film, Fitch mostly photographed at dusk or at night, making striking images that captured the seductive beauty of these roadside monuments. In 1980, Fitch began working in color with a large-format 8" x 10" view camera, initially making pictures of the back (street) sides but then shifting his emphasis to the white screen itself and the inside spaces of the theater. This was a period of transition, when more and more drive-ins were being repurposed, abandoned, or even torn down. As Fitch shows, the golden era of the drive-in theater was nearing its end, even as some 285 drive-ins still operate in America, keeping alive, at least for some, the thrill of watching a movie outdoors under the stars, in the comfort of one's car. Screen Towers is the first book in nearly three decades to portray the iconic drive-in movie theater in America. Anyone interested in the architecture, culture, and history of the drive-in theater will be smitten by Steve Fitch's new book
