Just the mere mention of the New York City subway will elicit varied opinions and comments from just about everyone--even if they have never set foot in NYC!

While most people are just riding it to get to and from their destinations, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Esposito, takes you on a photographic journey around the historic transit system.

Oasis
At the beginning of 1994 Oasis were unknown, though signed to Creation Records. Things changed with the release of their album 'Definitely Maybe', which became the fastest selling British debut album at the time.That year was one of meteoric change, with Liam and Noel Gallagher setting off on a major tour. Oasis: Their Breakthrough Year is an evocative collection of photos of Oasis taken during that time by Rock photographer Paul Slattery. Having been tipped off to their potential by producer Mark Coyle, who shared early versions of 'Definitely Maybe' when the band where still in the studio, Paul spent the year closely recording their burgeoning success; from sparsly attended shows around the UK to sold-out performances in the U.S. and Japan.

Making a Way
JEB is a portal maker--one of those loving souls who made sure we would have a way back to witness the world-changing bravery of our communities. --Alexis Pauline GumbsJEB (Joan E. Biren) first introduced viewers to her photographs in 1979 when she published Eye to Eye: Portraits of Lesbians, a groundbreaking celebration of women loving women. In the years that followed, JEB collaborated with poets, musicians, filmmakers, elected officials, healthcare providers, factory workers, spiritual leaders, and others who built communities and worked for political change. Her second book Making a Way: Lesbians Out Front, published in 1987, depicts the spirit and energy of this movement in more than a hundred emotionally resonant photographs that take us from passionate activism to thoughtful solitude, while remarks and remembrances from each woman photographed deepen the historic record. This reissue of Making a Way adds insightful new essays by Cheryl Clarke and JD Samson, resulting in an essential document of an era whose impact continues to be felt across our society today.
Womanizer
Commanding, uninhibited women captured through Capozzi's provocative female lens. Capozzi has spent the past decade shaping an attitude in fashion and contemporary portraiture of women. Her images unbind the female form from tradition and honor its erotic power. Her lawless compositions interlace celebrity, the mundane, the absurd, and the surreal. There is an erotic interplay between photographer and subject, with both sides playfully exchanging power. Vibrant photographs of contemporary female icons, including Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus, Bella Hadid, Pam Anderson, Dua Lipa, Chlo禱 Sevigny, and Selena Gomez, along with less familiar faces from Capozzi's New York circle of friends and muses, celebrate a feminine point of view and disrupt the legacy of the female form being depicted for the male gaze. Capozzi's sophisticated camerawork weaves high fashion with saturated narratives, pop culture, her own handmade garments, and props. The images are enticing, glamorous, and unexpected.

Wonderland of Wind and Sand
Through poetry and photography, Wonderland of Wind and Sand celebrates the extraordinary and awe-inspiring Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve in southern Colorado. Sweeping views of the sand dunes are counterbalanced by finite details such as beetle tracks in the sand. Award-winning photographer Jean E. Sidinger's photos and her heartfelt poetic messages enhance each other with the turn of every page.Forty-four down-to-earth poems vary from inspiring, to playful, to thought-provoking. They take the concept of the park beyond the visual to a personalized articulated interpretation. Readers will climb High Dune as they read "The Ascent," sense euphoria over the bold autumn leaves against a cobalt sky as they visit the island or explore the Montville Trail, and be moved to empathy for creatures facing blizzard conditions.Sidinger made repeat visits to the park over a period of more than forty-some years-visits that included every season and contact with its lesser-known aspects. The diverse poems and over one hundred photographs created during those years make Wonderland of Wind and Sand a unique and invaluable treasure for both novices and those who know the park well.A portion of the proceeds from this book will benefit the Western National Parks Association.

Pictures and Passages
I was introduced to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, when my parents retired here in 1998. Although I'm a lifelong resident of this state, I hadn't spent time on the coast as our family owned a lake house in New Hampshire where we spent weekends, summers, and vacations. I consider myself a lake lover at heart, but what an unexpected delight it was to fall in love with the beauty of Cape Cod's sea, sand, and sky nearly 30 years ago! We would eventually buy our own home here, and the rest is history. My passion for photography as both a hobby and profession is nourished on Cape Cod with the abundance of scenic landmarks and hidden gems the area has to offer. Come along with me as I meander along beaches, back roads, and bays and share with you not just the glory of local seascapes and landscapes, but my thoughts and reflections on life, love, and family. With two parents succumbing to Alzheimer's Disease-Mom in 2021 and Dad at just about the time this book went to press-I can only hope they are seeing this and, with pride and delight, are relishing the journey I've been on to get this book into enthusiastic hands!

David Alekhuogie: A Reprise
In A Reprise, David Alekhuogie remixes Walker Evans's photographs of African art, provoking timely questions about authorship and authenticity. A Reprise, David Alekhuogie's first monograph, confronts the intriguing legacy of narrative and authorship behind Western presentations of African art, and poses timely questions about how Black aesthetics are circulated, accessed, valued, and interpreted today. In 1935, Walker Evans was commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, to photograph hundreds of African sculptures for the exhibition African Negro Art. Nearly ninety years later, Alekhuogie began investigating Evans's images, provocatively remixing them into his own vibrant and multilayered photographic collages. Transposing facsimiles of Evans's original images onto cardboard or paper structures of his own making, Alekhuogie rephotographs these image-sculptures against striking backdrops--often using East and West African textiles--thereby inviting multiple dimensions of viewership. Alekhuogie's images draw upon the musical idiom of the reprise--a performance of repetition--and stake a claim to crucial, restorative ideas around Black antiquity by questioning our relationship to what we consider fake or original, art or archive.
The Third Coast
A full-color photographic journey around the Great Lakes Locals affectionately call the Great Lakes the "third coast"--though at 4,500 miles, this beloved freshwater shoreline is the nation's longest, covering more distance than the country's Atlantic and Pacific coasts combined. Divided into four galleries by lake and season, David Zurick's award-winning photographs spotlight the distinct personality of each coastline and the people who call its shores home. We visit windswept Lake Superior in winter, Lake Michigan bursting into spring, Lakes Erie and Ontario under the summer sun, and Lake Huron in the changing palette of autumn, with an additional gallery devoted to the straits and rivers that connect them. An evocative foreword from award-winning nature writer Jerry Dennis sets the stage for this sweeping visual tour.

Michael Kenna: Silver Haikus
The influence of Asia's arts and culture on Michael Kenna's black-and-white landscapes, evoking everything from Zen gardening to Chinese calligraphySince his first visit to Japan in 1987, British photographer Michael Kenna (born 1953) has returned time and again to capture Asia's landscapes. The poetic power of Kenna's photographs and their ability to extract emotion from the landscape--from the dignity of a tree or a rock--has led some commentators to describe them as visual haikus.Silver Haikus provides a thematic retrospective of his work in Asia over the last 40 years. It explores the connection between his aesthetic and Asian art through formal dialogues between his photographs and works from the Chinese, Korean and Japanese collections of the Mus矇e Guimet. More specifically, this book observes the influence of Asian arts in Kenna's work: the choice of monochrome, the economy of means, the use of emptiness and the desire to suggest rather than describe evoke the ink paintings of Chinese scholars and Japanese Zen monks.

Jean Gaumy: A Certain Nature
Through his detailed investigations of flora and fauna, Gaumy devises an innovative view of Monet's Giverny gardenClaude Monet's garden at Giverny is famous the world over for its water lily pond, which gave rise to some of the artist's most dazzling paintings. Magnum photographer Jean Gaumy (born 1948) has had privileged access to Monet's garden for many years, allowing him to conduct photographic research inspired by his love of science and botany. Drawing from the joy he experienced in his family's garden while young, he has sought to re-create that childhood curiosity and sense of wonder through photography that is both abstract and naturalistic. Jean Gaumy's Giverny is not an atlas of forms, but rather a photographic experiment in documenting nature from different angles. In these otherworldly duotone photographs, Monet's storied garden becomes something out of time in compositions bordering on the pictorial in their documenting of microscopic details.

Having Fun With My Camera (Oak Grove Lake Park)
My Canon EOS 80D DSLR just arrived yesterday, and so I am out exploring. I want to see how it performs using the Macro setting and utilizing the zoom feature of the 18-135mm IS USM lens that came in the kit. These images are what I was able to create. No cropping, alterations or improvements; just resizing to fit on this page (4.67 x 7 inches). Normally, I crop and enlarge each photo of my books, but not today. I want to examine the photos and share my discoveries with you.Come with me as I explore Oak Grove Lake Park in March. I will talk about bokeh, blurry backgrounds and circles of light, the adjustable screen, how to combine focus with the shutter button on the touch screen, why background is so important, depth of field, the rule of thirds, perspective, angle, sunlight and shadows, finding odd things to share with viewers, and more. In this book, I give you more than simply a series of nature photos. I ask you to explore the image and find what is there besides the object I focused the camera on.

Pictures and Passages
I was introduced to Cape Cod, Massachusetts, when my parents retired here in 1998. Although I'm a lifelong resident of this state, I hadn't spent time on the coast as our family owned a lake house in New Hampshire where we spent weekends, summers, and vacations. I consider myself a lake lover at heart, but what an unexpected delight it was to fall in love with the beauty of Cape Cod's sea, sand, and sky nearly 30 years ago! We would eventually buy our own home here, and the rest is history. My passion for photography as both a hobby and profession is nourished on Cape Cod with the abundance of scenic landmarks and hidden gems the area has to offer. Come along with me as I meander along beaches, back roads, and bays and share with you not just the glory of local seascapes and landscapes, but my thoughts and reflections on life, love, and family. With two parents succumbing to Alzheimer's Disease-Mom in 2021 and Dad at just about the time this book went to press-I can only hope they are seeing this and, with pride and delight, are relishing the journey I've been on to get this book into enthusiastic hands!
