A 60's Small Town High School
A small town in Oklahoma was a great place to grow up. This anthology of photographs contrasts the stark and shocking images presented in Larry Clark's book "Tulsa," published in 1971. This collection of rediscovered negatives from the early sixties was taken in Bristow, only 30 miles from Clark's Tulsa ofdrugs, sex, and violence. Instead, these are the images I created as a teen learning to photograph, using schoolmates as, mostly willing, subjects. The contrast is almost that of a 50's family television show verses the grit of that turbulent era. Students going about the daily business of high and junior high school with class plays, sports, meetings, and a few images of socializing in the community are seen here as they came out of that old storage box in the attic. Scratches, dust, stains, and discoloration are the evidence of the passingyears, as are the wrinkles on the visages of these same people if you meet them today at 50-year class reunions. This is the Vietnam War generation before the war got into its full destructive swing. These young people lived in an innocent state broken only by their occasional rambunctious misadventures of growing up. Around them, the country was set up for a revolutionary series of losses, demonstrations, and norm-shattering changes.

Bubbe, the Wind, and Me
This book was inspired by treasure walks I took with my first grandchild, Ilana. Allowing our imagination to roam freely, we turned simple walks into enchanting encounters. I wrote this book when Ilana was a toddler, put it aside, then revised and crafted a new ending recently during days of the 2020-2021 world pandemic. The story highlights a special relationship between a grandchild and her grandparent. I feel now, as I felt then, the best gift a grandparent can give a grandchild is to show love and spend quality time together- everlasting gifts to treasure.

Carrie Mae Weems: A Great Turn in the Possible
The most comprehensive survey of Weems' genre-defying oeuvre yet publishedOne of the most influential American artists working today, Carrie Mae Weems has investigated narratives around family, race, gender, sexism, class and the consequences of power for more than 40 years. Her complex oeuvre--always ahead of its time, and profoundly formative for younger generations of artists--has employed photography (for which she is best known), fabric, text, audio, digital images, installation and video. Writing in the New York Times, Holland Cotter succinctly described Weems as "a superb image maker and a moral force, focused and irrepressible." This volume, spanning four decades of work, is the most thorough survey yet published. It includes Weems' earliest series, such as Family Pictures and Stories, for which she photographed her relatives and close friends; the legendary Kitchen Table Series, in which she posed in a domestic setting; and other critically acclaimed works and series such as Ain't Jokin', Colored People, From Here I Saw What Happened and I Cried, Not Manet's Type, The Jefferson Suite, Monuments, Roaming, Museums, Constructing History (A Class Ponders the Future), Slow Fade to Black and the Obama Project, among many others. Contextualizing these pieces are essays by LaCharles Ward and Fred Moten and a chronology by Raul Mu簽oz. The book also includes a visual essay by Weems that presents a personal selection of her own works from the artist's perspective. The accompanying exhibition is organized by Fundaci籀n MAPFRE in collaboration with Fundaci籀n Foto Colectania, Barcelona and W羹rttembergischer Kunstverein, Stuttgart, where the exhibition Carrie Mae Weems. The Evidence Of Things Not Seen took place from April 2 through July 10, 2022. Carrie Mae Weems (born 1953) has received numerous awards, grants and fellowships, and is represented in public and private collections around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the Museum of Modern Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Weems lives in Brooklyn and Syracuse, New York.
The Stars’ Share / La Part Des ?toiles
Sir Paul Smith, with a wry grin in front of a bookshelf. Javier Bardem, utterly relaxed, in sneakers in a sunny field. Rasmus Kofoed, chef at Geranium in Copenhagen, one of the best restaurants in the world, atop an ivy-covered wall.

For this is how G矇rard-Philippe Mabillard photographs his friends and acquaintances, all celebrities from the world of film, art, fashion, design, and culture. Mabillard himself worked as a creative professional before taking the position of director of the Vin du Valais non-profit association. For him, the glass, filled with wine or water, is the link between the people he portrays: a symbol of friendship and community. Through his photography project, Mabillard is supporting the NGO Fondation Moi pour Toit in Colombia. Text in English and French.

Buster Keaton and Modern European Drama. An American Filmmaker Anticipating Aesthetic Multiplicity
As one of the most ingenious artists of the silent film era, Buster Keaton stands out for his legendary comedies. While drawing on vaudeville traditions, he also knew how to exploit techniques the new medium film offered to create - visually surprising - comic situations, many of which became an unforgettable part of film history. Transferring and adapting his theatrical skills to the screen, he invented a whole new repertoire of aesthetic devices. Numerous elements of his approach to the art of mise-en-sc癡ne would turn up again, albeit in modified and more radical forms, in dramatic theories and plays of playwrights such as Bertolt Brecht, Luigi Pirandello, Eug癡ne Ionesco, Samuel Beckett, and Antonin Artaud. This study looks at how Buster Keaton anticipated an aesthetic multiplicity that would come to shape dramatic concepts, the art of representation, and the language of performance in modern European theatre.
Remembering San Francisco in the 50s, 60s, and 70s
The 1950s, 60s, and 70s were defining moments in our nation's history, and San Francisco was at the forefront of the avant-garde artistic, intellectual, and cultural movements of the time. The city gave rise to the most significant countercultural revolutions of the century, including the Beatniks of the 1950s, the hippies in the 1960s, and the gay rights movement in the 1970s. With a selection of fine historic images from her bestselling book Historic Photos of San Francisco in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, Rebecca Schall captures in this companion volume, Remembering San Francisco in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, the revolutionary and tumultuous spirit of these historic times in stunning black-and-white photography.
The Magic of Japanese Zen Gardens
A meditativejourney of kyoto's zen gardens through all four seasons by photos and poems A Zen garden is the symbiotic fusion of Japanese philosophy and the art of garden design, a spiritual place of meditation and inner reflection that teaches mindfulness and brings joy to the eyes. If you want to get to know this garden culture, you won't find as many wonderful gems in such a small area anywhere in the world as in Kyoto. Thomas Kierok photographed these unique gardens in all four seasons. Through encounters with important Zen garden designers, he was able to develop his own photographic perspective inspired by the spirit of Zen. Poems by world-renowned Zen poets Dogen, Basho and Ryokan complement the visual masterpieces. The book is a a meditative journey, a sanctuary for the soul, a retreat between two covers whenever the need for calm, inspiration and grounding arises.
Reel Change
Ten years ago, a technological revolution swept through cinemas around the world, as analogue projectors were replaced with digital equipment. It was not just the plastic medium of film that was removed from projection boxes during this transformation; most cinemas took this opportunity to also evict the human projectionists who were hitherto in charge of screenings. Projectionists had been hidden from the sight of audiences for most of the history of photographic moving image projection, and their redundancies went largely unnoticed and unremarked upon. This book focuses attention on what has been happening behind film spectators' heads for the past 130 years, and attempts to write the history of cinema in Britain from the perspective of its habitually overlooked and undervalued projectionists, beginning in the silent era and continuing to the present day. Drawing upon extensive archival research and lengthy interviews with former projectionists, it documents the key facets and challenges of their work, and how these evolved in response to previous waves of significant technological change. It evaluates how projectionists helped to design and maintain key aesthetic characteristics of the 20th century big screen experience. It shows how the institution of cinema in Britain has been historically underpinned by the harsh exploitation of projectionists by many employers, detailing inadequate wage levels and poor working conditions that formerly provoked government investigation, and explaining why these problems were never successfully ameliorated by trade unions. It also charts in depth the recent fateful transition to digital projection, delineating how and why projectionists were so swiftly and ruthlessly consigned to the past, and assessing whether this form of entertainment should be considered diminished by their super session.

Everything Beautiful in Its Time
Deborah Jackson's debut album of photographs is designed to bring attention to the beauty of God's creation. The title is taken from Ecclesiastes 3:11: He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.Deborah says, "This photography book is the result of a very specific journey God has had me on during the last four years, which is why the photos here don't go any further into the past than 2018. That's because in October of that year, when I moved from California back home to Washington State, I lost some mobility due to osteoarthritis in both knees. "I wanted to showcase how someone who is limited to walking short distances could still find beauty in what is close by, primarily in my neighbors' gardens and in public parks that are easily reachable by car. All of these images were taken from some vantage point or other in the mid-sized city in Washington State where I now live or in places within easy driving distance."
Stoner to Seeker
STONER TO SEEKER: VOLUME I: THE PHOTOGRAHS is my impression of two of the most fascinating countries in Asia. Bangladesh is a brand-new country and I was there just a few months after they won their hard fought independence from Pakistan. I have photographed students, small businessmen, fishermen and villagers showing how they realize their hopes and dreams for this verdant paradise. Kathmandu, Nepal is the last stop on the overland Hippie Trail from Europe to Asia. What we found was a medieval country and it is the people, places and way of life of this mystical land that I recorded with my camera. I have documented a time, the 1970s, before the all-pervading Western culture, the Economic Miracle and the geo-political revolutions changed Asia irrevocably. This is my photographic vision of Asia, a bright shining candle before the winds of change extinguished it forever.
Reckonings and Reconstructions
"Can photography help extend our understanding of the South and see the region in a broader American context?" writes essayist and southern literature scholar W. Ralph Eubanks in Reckonings and Reconstructions. "Yes, but what we see in an image often depends on what we already know." Reckonings and Reconstructions is a visual and textual investigation of southern photography since World War II. The book and its partner exhibition present 125 color photographs from the Do Good Fund by a wide-ranging group of 77 photographers, diverse in gender, race, ethnicity, and region. W. Ralph Eubanks addresses southern memory and the ethics of photography. Grace Elizabeth Hale considers the role of Athens, Georgia--with its vibrant community of photographers, renowned photography program at the University of Georgia, and celebrated alternative art and music scene--within the history of southern photography. The essays that follow by Jasmine Amussen, Rosalind Bentley, Lauren Henkin, Jeffrey Richmond-Moll, RaMell Ross, and Jeff Whetstone examine expansive and internally paradoxical themes: land, labor, law and protest, migration, food, ritual, and kin. Together, these themes link disparate works in the Do Good collection and capture southern history, culture, and identity in all its complexity and contradictions. With the photographs as their backbone, these essays help construct and deconstruct each thematic category, resisting notions of the South as a retrograde region and instead presenting the ever-changing qualities of the place and its people. A region where despair and hope, terror and beauty, pain and joy, and trauma and dignity coexist and comingle. A place seeking reconciliation and restoration, captured by photographers with a vision of a "Better South."
