Summary:
"First photographs" is an extraordinary view into the origins of photography. This monograph includes many hitherto unpublished images of landscapes, architectural studies, and portraits from Talbot’s personal archive and selections from his detailed research notebooks made during the 1830s and 1840s and currently housed at Lacock Abbey in England. A gentleman and an intellectual, Talbot was a great student of the Arts and Sciences and kept detailed notes of his activities and experiments. He discovered the negative/positive paper process which made multiple reproductions of a single image possible, and which distinguished it from its contemporary, the one-of-a-kind daguerreotype. Talbot first announced his invention to the public in 1839 in his paper “An account of the art of photogenic drawing or the process by which natural objects may be made to delineate themselves without the aid of the artist’s pencil”. The work he did during this time established in principle and in practice the foundation of modern photography—the basis of the process that is still used today. In addition to Talbot’s technological contributions, his photographs represent exceptional artistic achievement. "First photographs" includes a significant text by Michael Gray, who provides a comprehensive essay, biography, and timeline of Talbot’s life and revolutionary work. Arthur Ollman, gives an in-depth analysis of the aesthetic and social significance of Talbot’s first image, the “Oriel window.” Curator Carol McCusker considers how the Romantic Movement and the women of the Lacock household influenced Talbot’s aesthetic choices. "First photographs" and the accompanying exhibition provide a rare opportunity for contemporary audiences to experience these uncommon images and the personal, cultural, and scientific contexts in which they were made.

Summary:
"Inside Havana" is a photographic portrait of a city swept up in the flow of time. In the wake of a turbulent five-hundred-year history, Havana today is a shipwreck of splendour and decay; a place where the passing decades have created a haunting landscape, both beautiful and serene. Photographer, Andrew Moore, captures the substance of this place. The result of four years' work, the images not only document Havana and its architecture at the turn of the century, but also portray the nuances of the city's inner life. (80 plates).

Landfall : Lukas Felzmann
$49.95
(available to order)
Summary:
Roads that peter out in the middle of nowhere, buildings that no longer make sense, flotsam and jetsam that defy oblivion: Lukas Felzmann's scenery and objects quietly and unobtrusively open up their profound symbolism in the field of tension between desire and memory, hope and pain, dream and reality. Together they form a narrative that follows its own rules, subtly(...)

Summary:
Roads that peter out in the middle of nowhere, buildings that no longer make sense, flotsam and jetsam that defy oblivion: Lukas Felzmann's scenery and objects quietly and unobtrusively open up their profound symbolism in the field of tension between desire and memory, hope and pain, dream and reality. Together they form a narrative that follows its own rules, subtly carrying the viewer along on a strange journey, where broad landscapes and deep horizons become expanses onto which visions of all kinds can be projected. Uncompromisingly printed in a small format deliberately set apart from the typical coffee-table picture book, "Landfall" is like a literary work, an existential analysis of the truths and illusions of our civilization, or a piece of poetry full of surprising encounters, whose ambivalence requires repeated reading.

Summary:
In this sequel to "Good News (always read the fine print)", photographer Jordi Bernadó revamps his personal viewpoint in order to make another tour around the world and to demonstrate that the details hidden in minute type at the bottom of the page can and should be read. The shanty towns of Brazil, the peep shows of Barcelona, the beaches of Cape Town and Sydney, the downtown core of Detroit, the ruins of Bucharest, and the subterranean world of Nagoya coalesce here to form a unique landscape. Reproduced in pairs, juxtaposing images from joint but different trips, the photographs in "Very Very Bad News" share a single fixation: contriving, by means of what can be read between two images, to accentuate the insistence on portraying the black side of apparent normality.

Summary:
Since March 2000, photographer Joel Sternfeld has been documenting the abandoned elevated railway, the High Line, which runs down the West Side of Manhattan. Sometimes a river of grass, sometimes more like wheat fields of Canada, this unique ruin permits contemplation of nature, and of cityscape. Walking the path of this true time landscape, experiencing the seasons as they unfold in a ribbon within the vertical architectural landscape of New York City, Sternfeld has created a suite of images marked by quiet grace and formal rigor. In this book, as in all of his work, landscape is read as a social and cultural indicator.

Summary:
«The Eiffel Tower» is a pictural study of the great structure by acclaimed architectural photographer Lucien Hervé, who began photographing the tower in his youth in the 1930s and has returned to it throughout his career as a source of artistic creativity. Hervé's stunning images convey the delicate balance between the structure's elegant ironwork and its sheer physical force. Ranging from pictorial studies of the tower in the Paris landscape to abstract compositions of iron and glass, his photographs are modern masterworks in their own right.
