Spring in the Park
Spring in the Park is one book in the SENIOR STORIES series of color photography books with simple text designed to stimulate conversation and interaction between seniors with Alzheimer's and their caregivers. The readers will take a visual trip through a park to see cherry trees, tulips, daffodils and other blossoms as well as a toy sailboat on a pond, a picnic scene, a man in a rowboat...and more. The text invites the senior readers to tell what they like about the park in spring-which flowers are their favorites, what they'd eat at a picnic, whether they'd like a boat ride...Seniors might tell their own springtime memories, or tell a new story about a photo, or just enjoy looking at the images! Jed Levine, Executive Vice President of the New York City Chapter of the Alzheimer織s Association, writes,"Spring in the Park is a book that can be shared by two people or enjoyed alone. For a person with dementia, these evocative pictures may momentarily jog a memory like the scent of lilacs or the taste of a ripe peach, reawakening a lost experience. These images of life's pleasures have the potential to stimulate conversation by rekindling warm feelings, which are captured in the pages of this special book." The author hopes both seniors and caregivers enjoy sharing the springtime scenes.
The Bodies Untamed
The 130 fine art nude, monochrome, photographs within this monograph were made between 1996 and 2014 in the location of Trent Park, London. Christopher much prefers the organic qualities offered by film and the aesthetics of the square format. He used a variety of equipment, including Twin Lens Reflex, pin-hole, Holga, Diana and various vintage cameras, to create the images within this book. "...sensual nudes that pay homage to the female form in a manner that is both graceful and elegant. Very rarely do we come across a portfolio that strikes us so deeply..." - The New Nude Magazine

Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse. the Ultimate History
On November 18, 1928, the world's most famous mouse made his very first public debut. Today, we celebrate 90+ years of Mickey in one of the most expansive illustrated publications on the Disney universe. Starting with the first sketches of a character who was almost named Mortimer, we trace the career of Walt Disney's and Ub Iwerks's most famous creation, one met with an explosion of worldwide popularity preceded only by the earlier successes of Charlie Chaplin.With unlimited access to Disney's vast historical collections as well as public and private collections, the authors bring Mickey's success story to life: concept art, story sketches, background paintings, and animation drawings as well as historical photographs trace the origins and evolution of such timeless favorites as Steamboat Willie, The Band Concert, and Brave Little Tailor. They also follow Mickey as he builds on this legendary library of short cartoons by appearing in two historic feature-length films, Fantasia and Fun and Fancy Free.Unfinished projects, many of them presented for the first time through original storyboard drawings, unveil a Mickey that might have been. Extensive archival research sheds new light on little-known chapters of Mickey's career, such as his pioneering radio shows, the origins of the Mickey Mouse Club, and his use as a patriotic icon during World War II. Along the way, we encounter the work of all major Mickey artists in both film and comics, including such greats as Ub Iwerks, Win Smith, Ferdinand Horvath, Fred Moore, Floyd Gottfredson, Carl Barks, Manuel Gonzales, Paul Murry, Romano Scarpa, Giorgio Cavazzano, Byron Erickson, C矇sar Ferioli, and Noel Van Horn.Mickey Mouse has left an indelible mark on everyday culture. As Walt Disney once said: "I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing--that it was all started by a mouse." And an end to the success story is nowhere in sight. Today, 90 years after his creation, Mickey remains as lovable and popular as ever. Let's pay tribute to the little fellow, his legend, and his legacy with a monument to the one and only Mickey Mouse.Copyright (c) 2023 Disney Enterprises, Inc.
Light It, Shoot It, Retouch It
Learn all three aspects of what it takes to create stunning portraits--lighting, shooting, and retouching! Scott Kelby, the #1 best-selling author of photography technique books and Editor-in-Chief of Photoshop User magazine, has reinvented how flash lighting books are written by finally revealing the entire process from start to finish. You see everything from the complete flash and softbox setup (including all the gear used), to the shoot (including all the camera and flash settings), to the all-important part that most books don't dare include--the post-processing and retouching in Lightroom and Photoshop. This book also breaks new ground in the visual way it teaches you exactly how and where to set up your flash. There aren't any sketches or drawings--you see the actual lighting setup, taken from above during the live shoot, so you can see exactly where everything's positioned (the subject, the photographer, the lighting, the background, you name it--you see it all). Plus, you'll see side, over-the-shoulder, and more behind-the-scenes views (with all the exact measurements), so you can absolutely nail the lighting every time. Scott has trained thousands of photographers during his Light It. Shoot It. Retouch It. LIVE! seminar tour and he's taken that incredibly popular style of learning and put it into book form. Now you can have a real-world reference for getting the same looks today's clients are clamoring for. You'll learn: - The step-by-step setups for creating the most-requested and sought-after lighting looks using flash. - How to get more out of one flash than you ever thought you could (this is worth it alone!). - How to control and shape the light from your flash without breaking the bank. - The camera settings, the gear, and the flash power settings for every shot. - The retouching techniques the pros really use today to make their subjects look their very best. - How to retouch hair, eyes, lips, and skin, plus lots of other little retouching tricks that make a really big difference. - The measurements for everything, so you know exactly how far to position the flash from your subject, and your subject from the camera, and how high to position each and every light. It's all there, so you can't miss. - A host of insider tricks, invaluable shortcuts, and kick-butt special effects to give you a real advantage over the competition. And, the entire book is written in Scott's trademark casual, step-by-step, plain-English style. There's never been a book like it and you're going to love the results you get from it.

Women Photograph: What We See
Open your eyes to a new world view with 100 women and nonbinary photojournalists' stories from behind the lens. *Winner of the 2023 Bronze Foreword INDIE Book Award* 85% of photojournalists are men. That means almost everything that is reported in the world is seen through men's eyes. Similarly, spaces and communities men don't have access to are left undocumented and forgotten. With the camera limited to the hands of one gender, photographic 'truth' is more subjective than it seems. To answer this serious ethical problem, Women Photograph flips that bias on its head to show what and how women and nonbinary photojournalists see. From documenting major events such as 9/11 to capturing unseen and misrepresented communities, this book presents a revisionist contemporary history: pore over 50 years of women's dispatches in 100 photographs. Each image is accompanied by 200 words from the photographer about the experience and the subject, offering fresh insights and a much-needed perspective. Until we have balanced, representative reporting, the camera cannot offer a mirror to our global society. To get the full picture, we need a diverse range of people behind the lens. This book offers a first step. Relearn how to see with this evergreen catalogue that elevates the voices of women and nonbinary visual storytellers.

Reframing Africa? Reflections on Modernity and the Moving Image
This book takes readers on a series of stimulating intellectual journeys from the late nineteenth century to the contemporary era to explore notions of modernity in the production and reception of the African moving image and of African archival practices. Ideas are presented from multiple historical and contemporary perspectives, while inviting new voices to participate in discussions about the future of the African moving image. Reframing Africa? makes a plea for the recognition, preservation and repatriation of the African moving image archive, advancing ideas about how it speaks to contemporary Africans, possessed of the power to elucidate their lived experiences and to reorientate perceptions of the past, present and future. On the basis of this wide-ranging appreciation of the archive, the book charts a way forward for African-inflected film studies as well as other programmes in the humanities and social sciences.

Black Matrilineage, Photography, and Representation
Black Matrilineage, Photography, and Representation questions how the Black female body, specifically the Black maternal body, navigates interlocking structures that place a false narrative on her body and that of her maternal ancestors. Drawing on a wide range of scholarly inquiry and contemporary art, this book addresses these misconceptions and fills in the gaps that exist in the photographic representation of Black motherhood, mothering, and mutual care within Black communities.The essays and interviews, paired with a curated selection of images, address the complicated relationship between Blackness and photography and in particular its gendered dimension, its relationship to health, sexuality, and digital culture - primarily in the context of racialized heteronormativity. This collection, then, challenges racist images and discourses, both historically and in its persistence in contemporary society, while reclaiming the innate brilliance of Black women through personal stories, history, political acts, connections to place, moments of pleasure, and communal celebration.This visual exploration of Black motherhood through pictures made by Black woman-identifying photographers thus serves as a reflection of the past and a portal to the future and contributes to recent scholarship on the complexity of Black life and Black joy.This book emerges from the project Women Picturing Revolution.For more information, visit womenpicturingrevolution.comContributing authors: Tomi Akitunde (founder and editor-in-chief of mater mea), Grace Aneiza Ali (New York University), Emily Brady (University of Nottingham), Lesly Deschler Canossi (Women Picturing Revolution), Nicole J.

The NASA Archives. 40th Ed.
On October 1, 1958, the world's first civilian space agency opened for business as an emergency response to the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik a year earlier. Within a decade, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, universally known as NASA, had evolved from modest research teams experimenting with small converted rockets into one of the greatest technological and managerial enterprises ever known, capable of sending people to the Moon aboard gigantic rockets and of dispatching robot explorers to Venus, Mars, and worlds far beyond. In spite of occasional, tragic setbacks in NASA's history, the Apollo lunar landing project remains a byword for American ingenuity; the winged space shuttles spearheaded the International Space Station and a dazzling array of astronomical satellites and robotic landers, and Earth observation programs have transformed our understanding of the cosmos and our home world's fragile place within it. Throughout NASA's 60-year history, images have played a central role. Who today is not familiar with the Hubble Space Telescope's mesmerizing views of the universe or the pin-sharp panoramas of Mars from NASA's surface rovers? And who could forget the photographs of the first men walking on the Moon? This compact edition is derived from our XL edition, which was researched in collaboration with NASA, and gathers hundreds of historic photographs and rare concept renderings, scanned and remastered using the latest technology. Texts by science and technology journalist Piers Bizony, former NASA chief historian Roger Launius, and best-selling Apollo historian Andrew Chaikin round out this comprehensive exploration of NASA, from its earliest days to its current development of new space systems for the future. The NASA Archives is more than just a fascinating pictorial history of the U.S. space program. It is also a profound meditation on why we choose to explore space and how we will carry on this grandest of all adventures in the years to come.

Each section offers exercises for applied learning and a series of appendices cover assignments structures, a compilation of critical words and concepts, a comprehensive resource guide of organizations, competitions, grants, collectives and agencies, book publishers and printers, and more. This is an ideal resource for students and practitioners alike to gain a more informed understanding of photographic expression and learn how to effectively execute these visions.
Clearwater
CLEARWATER In June of 2019 I had planned a trip over to the Clearwater River area north of Grangeville, south of Kamiah, to visit some old friends who had a ranch up the hill from the tiny town of Harpster. By early May it was apparent that I had too much work to do back at home here on the eastern border of the Semiahmoo Peninsula, so I opted to postpone the journey for another year. I was all planned to make another attempt at the trip east in June of 2020, had my reservations at the Sportsman Paradise AirBnB booked, and the dates carved out on my calendar. Then the Pandemic hit. Poof went my plans for 2020. Next up, May or June of 2021. The Delta Variant of the Covid-19 virus was threatening to derail this year as well. I tried to make reservations at the Sportsman Paradise, but they were booked until July 6th. The warmest part of the Idaho summer. If only it was just the warmest part. But this was the summer of 2021, when Portland, Oregon hit an unbearable 116 degrees during the June heat wave. Even my home near Birch Bay, Washington hit 100 on one day. Record heat, everywhere. But I was determined that not another year would go by before I'd make this photo expedition to the Clearwater region. I had an idea for another coffee table book of my photography and it was time to get it done. So I had my dates booked at the Sportsman Paradise, and off I set at 6 am on July 5th, through Seattle and out across The Palouse of eastern Washington and an overnight stay in Moscow, Idaho. Then on to Harpster on July 6th. In all, an 8-day stay planned for photography, golf and good times with my old friends. The temperature gauge had other plans. As the days broiled on from 93 to 99 degrees, the fun of the adventure was relegated to the morning hours. Then a wave of thunderheads crossed the middle of Idaho and lightning set wild fires from Lewiston to Missoula. Four days into my expedition, melted by the heat and chocked by the smoke I cut my stay short. I vowed to return in September when I hoped the cooling autumn weather would end the heat waves and the fires. And that is how my photo journey got divided into two expeditions, one in July that focused on rusted farm implements and old vehicles rotting in tall dried grass, and one in September that focused on the people of the Clearwater River region and the river itself. I took a number of photos on the way over and back of The Palouse, and I've sprinkled those images
Gli Isolani (the Islanders)
Working with a large format 5x4 camera, Gli Isolani draws upon the visual language of Tomlinson's previous projects, lending the black and white photographs a veil of timelessness. At the project's genesis, Alys researched the literature and poetry connected to the history and culture of the islands of Italy, exploring tradition and identity, ancient myths, folklore and fairy tales. Set against crumbling stone and rural fields, the images depict the elaborate and uncanny costumes and masks worn for Holy Week, and other events and festivals, sometimes inspired by pagan ritual and beliefs. The fantastical tales and precious costumes have been passed down many generations within these communities where customs run deep. The gestures and the costumes depicted in the photographs draw on the relationship between man and the land, the sacred and the profane, and good and evil
