Summary:
This book presents Donovan Wylie's photographs of Forward Operating Bases constructed in the Kandahar Province of Afghanistan. From 2006 to 2011, Canada sent nearly 3,000 military personnel to Afghanistan in support of NATO's International Security Assistance Force. Serving alongside infantry and artillery, military engineers designed a network of outposts throughout the province. Built on natural promontories with multiple lines of sight, these outposts formed a protective visual architecture. They were frequently positioned on defensive locations established during earlier conflicts and represent reincarnations of past histories under new powers. The resulting images are the latest phase in Wylie's interrogation of the architecture of modern conflict.

Summary:
Sans titre est le troisième volume de l’œuvre de Diane Arbus, et le seul consacré exclusivement à un projet spécifique. Les photographies ont été prises dans les centres pour handicapés mentaux entre 1969 et 1971, pendant les dernières années de sa vie. La plus grande majorité de ces photos, dont elle avait songé faire le sujet d’un livre, est restée inédite jusqu’ici. Avec ces photographies, Diane Arbus atteint un lyrisme, une pureté émotionnelle, qui les distinguent du reste de son œuvre. Résultat de son estime inébranlable pour la réalité telle qu’elle la percevait, les photographies de ce livre relèvent moins du document que du mythe. Sans titre est probablement sa vision la plus transcendante et la plus romantique. Il célèbre le caractère à la fois unique et lié de chacun d’entre nous ; il exige de nous ce qu’il exigeait d’elle : avoir le courage de voir les choses telles qu’elles sont et la grâce de les laisser ainsi.

Summary:
Richard Anthony Lewis explores Tebbs's life and career, situating his work along the line of plantation imagery from nineteenth-century woodcuts and paintings to later twentieth-century photographs by John Clarence Laughlin, among others. Providing the family lineage and construction history of each home, Lewis discusses photographic techniques Tebbs used in his alternating panoramic and detail views. A precise documentarian, Tebbs also reveals a poetic sensibility in the plantation photos: a frequent emphasis on aspects of decay, neglect, incompleteness, and loss lends a wistful aura compounded by the fact that many of the homes no longer exist. This noticeable ambivalence between objectivity and sentiment, Lewis shows, suggests unfamiliarity and even discomfort with the legacy of slavery.

Summary:
Clarence King's Survey, undertaken between 1867 and 1872, covered a vast swath of terrain, from the border of California eastward to the edge of the Great Plains. It was the first survey to include a full-time photographer - Timothy O'Sullivan - who produced about 450 finished photographs in large-format and smaller-format stereographs. O'Sullivan's images convey a distinct individual quality of perception, at once direct and laconic, as well as a perfect union of objective fact and personal interpretation. As such, O'Sullivan remains the most admired, studied, and debated photographer who worked on the great western surveys of the 19th century.
