10 Years In SPACE
"SPACE is a club designed by musicians for musicians, which is why musicians love to play there. It's a warm listening room that makes you feel close to the artists--and Harvey Tillis pulls off that same trick with 10 Years In SPACE. He was there night after night over the club's first decade as he photographed the performers drawn to this place's vibe, intimacy, quality of sound and respect for the music. Captured in his lens are intimate moments from legends who have played this stage--including Allen Toussaint, Richard Thompson, Irma Thomas, Lucinda Williams, Leon Russell, Johnny Winter, Bob Mould and Dr. John--as well as younger artists on the rise, such as Alabama Shakes, the Lumineers, Brandi Carlile and Lake Street Dive. All of them are here, sharing their passion while playing in SPACE." - Mark Caro, journalist, entertainment critic, and author.10 Years In SPACE contains over 70 original black & white photographs includes Lake Street Dive, The Lumineers, Alabama Shakes, Pokey LaFarge, Allan Rayman, Jos矇 James, Tyler Childers, The Lone Bellow, Tank and the Bangas, St. Paul and the Broken Bones relatively early in their national careers.

"My favorite clubs in the world are the ones where you never know what to expect, the ones that abide by one simple rule: If it's good, it goes on stage. Over the last decade, SPACE has become one of those favorites. Jazz, blues, rock, roots, world music and so much more, SPACE delivers, night after night, with something special -- music beyond category, as Duke Ellington would have said. Since 2008, SPACE has been in the running as the best music venue in Chicago, even if it's just north of the Chicago border. You still haven't made it out to SPACE? Well, this terrific book will give you a glimpse into what you're missing. Photographer Harvey Tillis has lovingly documented a staggering array of performers doing their thing in SPACE's warm, intimate setting. Dive into this beautiful book. You'll be glad you did. Then make the trip to Evanston to hear the next act playing at SPACE. It's always a good night for music there." - Frank Alkyer, Publisher, DownBeat

Jerry Spagnoli
Between May and September 2012, New York-based photographer Jerry Spagnoli (born 1956) photographed the myriad faces of people transfixed by an enormous electronic billboard above New York's Times Square. "The light in Times Square is particularly beautiful at that time of the year," he writes; "the expressions on people's faces were open and unselfconscious, as they all looked up towards that great light in the sky." Regard, the result of this ambitious documentary undertaking, is a visual chronicle presenting almost 500 faces of great cultural and individual diversity. The particular billboard in question was set up to periodically display an image of the crowd beneath it. Pedestrians would wander by, absorbed in their thoughts, before noticing the billboard and pausing to search for their images. On finding themselves, many marked the occasion with an obligatory selfie. Spagnoli recorded these processes and the emotions of expectation and delight they elicit, creating an intricate collective portrait.
Lee Friedlander
From the stage to the factory: humanist portraiture of America's workersIn the capstone volume of his epic series The Human Clay, Lee Friedlander (born 1934) has created an ode to people who work. Drawn from his incomparable archive are photographs of individuals laboring on the street and on stage, as well as in the field, in factories and in fluorescent-lit offices. Performers, salespeople and athletes alike are observed both in action and at rest by Friedlander's uncanny eye. Opera singers are caught mid-aria, models primp backstage, mechanics tinker and telemarketers hustle.Spanning six decades, this humanizing compilation features over 250 photographs, many appearing here for the first time in print.
Lee Friedlander
An homage to the pickup truck as a quintessentially American mode of transportationIn this compendium, Lee Friedlander (born 1934) examines the ordinary pickup truck, a quintessentially American mode of transportation. Unadorned in form as well as function, pickups have long been the vehicle of choice for farmers and tradespeople. Their well-worn beds--usually open to the elements, laid bare for all to see--have held and hauled all manner of things, from spare tires and jumbles of wires to animals and the occasional person.Friedlander, in his witty and encompassing, clear-eyed idiom, has observed this most utilitarian and unapologetically personal object in its native setting: the cacophonous bricolage that is the American social landscape.

Flucticulus
Waves are found in various areas of life. There are acoustic sound waves, mechanical waves in physics, Mexican waves in football stadiums or waves in the water. The one thing they have all in common is their dynamic and power which arises from the movement of waves. The word織s origin can be traced back to the Old High German word "wellan" which roughly means "to revolutionize sth."The form of the wave not only brings movement but also change in Thomas Kellner織s contact sheets. His project "flucticulus" breaks with his familiar creational method. Ceramic objects and collages extend his former art form, photography.Tsunami are very different to ordinary waves. Their destructive power caused the death of 230 000 people in the catastrophe of Thailand in 2004. Kellner uses their massive power in his recent work. Throughout art history the motive of water and waves has always been of importance. The probably most known depiction of a wave comes from Hukasai ("The Great Wave of Kangava"). His print shows a foaming wave. Thomas Kellner gets in line with previous depictions of waves, but keeps sight of architectural photography, which he is known for. In his work "Springflut" wavelike pictures come to life, in contrast to rigid and stiff rectangles. The motives seem to dance and swing and thereby break with traditional architectural photography.
Umbrhe / Turns
The book sensitively documents the events of the 80's, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the subsequent upheavals in the lives of the people. It takes up various stations of recent German history and reveals situations of radical change. Jansson has a very special point of view, always focusing on the people who shape the historic events. She is always very close to the action with her camera, creating proximity and opening doors for encounters. An extensive series leads us into the life of the divided city of Berlin, East and West with their protest and resistance movements. We do not see the well-known photos of mass demonstrations, because the focus is on the feelings of everyone involved in a highly politicized time -in East and West. Jansson's view points to a sometimes absurd reality in the shadow of the cold war. Jansson dedicated another series to the opposition in the former GDR. They are subtle portraits of those people who have helped to change society and make a radical change. These series are supplemented by situations which she has captured in Eastern Europe.

Game Changers
"The embrace of women's sports sometimes feels almost like a political act...Molly Schiot's Game Changers: The Unsung Heroines of Sports History is so valuable." --The Wall Street Journal "A thoughtful, exhaustively researched, and long-overdue tribute to the women who have paved the way for the likes of Serena Williams, Abby Wambach, Simone Biles, and more." --espnW Based on the Instagram account @TheUnsungHeroines, a celebration of the pioneering, forgotten female athletes of the twentieth century that features rarely seen photos and new interviews with past and present game changers including Abby Wambach and Cari Champion. Two years ago, filmmaker Molly Schiot began the Instagram account @TheUnsungHeroines, posting a photo each day of a female athlete who had changed the face of sports around the globe in the pre-Title IX age. These women paved the way for Serena Williams, Carli Lloyd, and Lindsey Vonn, yet few today know who they are. Slowly but surely, the account gained a following, and the result is Game Changers, a beautifully illustrated collection of these trailblazers' rarely-before-seen photos and stories. Featuring icons Althea Gibson and Wyomia Tyus, complete unknowns Trudy Beck and Conchita Cintron, policymaker Margaret Dunkle, sportswriter Lisa Olson, and many more, Game Changers gives these "founding mothers" the attention and recognition they deserve, and features critical conversations between past and present gamechangers--including former US Women's National Soccer Team captain Abby Wambach and SportsCenter anchor Cari Champion--about what it means to be a woman on and off the field. Inspiring, empowering, and unforgettable, Game Changers is the perfect gift for anyone who has a love of the game.
Making Photographs
In Making Photographs, photographer, educator, and author Ibarionex Perello teaches you how to develop and implement a visual workflow that allows you to create a repeatable process for your photography, so you can create consistently great images.With today's photo technology, almost anyone can pick up a camera and create a photograph that is well-exposed and in focus. And if you take enough pictures, you're bound to get lucky and create a few "keepers" that impress family and friends. But eventually, you hit a wall; you know you're relying more on luck than skill. Even learning to control the fundamental, technical components of the craft--shutter speed, aperture, and ISO--only takes you so far. The real challenges remain: How can you learn to make good images consistently? And how can you really start to "see" photographic possibilities all around you?In Making Photographs, photographer, educator, and author Ibarionex Perello teaches you how to face and conquer such challenges. He shares the approach and techniques he's honed over the last 15 years conducting workshops and teaching photography courses to countless students of the craft. The key to this approach, Ibarionex argues, is to develop and implement a visual workflow that allows you to create a repeatable process for your photography. This workflow revolves around the four "visual draws"--light and shadow, line and shape, color, and gesture. As Ibarionex discusses each of these visual draws, you'll learn how to move beyond merely "looking" at the world around you to "seeing" photographic possibilities at every turn. It is this act of seeing that gives photography its magic--and you the vital tool you need to improve your work. Rather than simply taking pictures, you'll begin making photographs.Ibarionex also covers topics such as exposure, composition, preparation, lighting, the role of emotion, culling your images, self-assessment, and post-processing. Alongside discussion of these themes and principles, he presents the stories behind his photographs, which reveal his thought process as he works through a scene; shares entries from his personal photographic journal, relaying successes, failures, discoveries, and breakthroughs; and includes assignments and personal challenges to inspire and motivate you to put these principles into immediate action in your photography.
