Summary:
This publication takes a selection of eighty photographs from the enormous number made by Maaskant Prize-winner Maarten Kloos over a period of more than thirty years. Each one is a testament to Kloos' fascination with space, in all its facets. They are eighty sketches, guileless attempts to look at things properly. In an introductory text Kloos describes how every photograph is the outcome of a mini-research undertaken by the photographer's adventurous eye. How every image captured on this adventure is in effect a discovery that can be conveyed to others. But most of all, that a good photograph incites one to look and think along with what it is that it portrays.

Summary:
Three decades ago, Lewis Baltz became fascinated by the stark, man-made landscape rolling over so much of California's agrarian terrain. This is the best-known of his projects on the subject, published as a limited-edition book by Leo Castelli in 1974. The work assured Baltz's place in the influential New Topographic movement, which stands for a cool, distanced yet critical view of the emerging, man-altered landscape. This milestone in the history of American contemporary photography, is once again available in an impeccable facsimile of the original publication.

Summary:
Eugène Atget est né en 1857, à Libourne, non loin de Bordeaux. Il meurt soixante-dix ans plus tard, à Paris, en 1927, laissant derrière lui une somme de travail incomparable. En 1888, après ses insuccès au théâtre et dans la peinture, il se choisit artisan photographe. Il fait des "documents pour artistes", puis à partir de 1897 et jusqu'à sa mort, il va fixer les empreintes de la capitale. Soit trente années de clichés. Trente ans de mutations, de transformations de la ville, du vieux Paris (celui d'avant la Révolution) à celui post-haussmanien : les rues étroites, les vieux édifices, les places, les ponts et les quais, les devantures de magasin, les cours intérieures, les cages d'escalier... Tout un travail sur la colonne vertébrale de Paris, auquel il ajoute des modèles en chair et en os : des artisans, des prostituées, des ouvriers, des camelots. Cet ouvrage superbe rend un hommage à ce pionnier que fut Atget, à la fois esthète et archéologue photographe, lécheur de vitrines et amateur de façades, arpenteur insatiable du pavé parisien. Un hommage ô combien nécessaire.

Summary:
William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877) is best remembered as the scientist who invented photography. Others had tried recording the images projected by a lens, but Talbot was the first to grasp the physical basis for realizing this dream and to conceive of a practical means for fixing these ephemeral images permanently onto a sheet of paper. But Talbot's considerable technical achievements have often overshadowed his growth as an artist. Larry Schaaf examines this artistic growth by bringing together for the first time high quality reproductions of one hundred photographs representing the full sweep of Talbot's work. These beautiful images are not only records of scientific triumphs, but also the evidence of the first steps in shaping a totally new type of vision. The one hundred plates are reproduced in the actual size of the originals and in all the subtle colours that comprised Talbot's early work. They range from Talbot's Lilliputian pre-1839 negatives (made in "mousetrap" cameras) through botanical photograms to mid-1840s calotypes that demonstrate a sure command of the new art. Each plate is discussed in detail, drawing on important new research conducted by the author.

The dwellings that dot the landscape seem temporary, even toylike. The work pays homage to those places where nature and culture intersect.
