Adams's commitment to the serious study of photography lasted from 1930 until his death in 1984. He influenced hundreds of photographers through ex hibitions, books, and workshops. His work for the Sierra Club (photographic and otherwise) brought national recog nition. His autobiography moves from family reminiscences to his experiences with Edward Weston, Paul Strand, Dorothea Lange, the Newhalls, Geor gia O'Keefe, Steiglitz, and Steichen, giving Adams's perspective on devel opments in the visual arts. It portrays a deeply felt concern with both craft and aesthetics, and a lifelong dedication to preserving the glory of the Western en vironment.

This is the first tribute to a single clothing article - the white T-shirt. Chapters present over a hundred color and black and white images by eminent photographers, with subjects spanning 20th century figures and accompanying a history of the T-shirt's evolution. -- Midwest Book Review Product Description A fabulous tribute to the one piece of clothing worn by people of every age, gender, and shape, "The White T" captures the zeitgeist of our times. With striking photographs and sophisticated text, "The White T" traces the colorful history of the classic garment worn by billions all over the world. From the first Hanes version sold in the 1930s for twenty-four cents to its transformation into the ultimate in cool (not to mention sexy) when worn by James Dean, Elvis Presley and Marlon Brando, "The White T" has become part of our culture. The significance of the white T goes beyond fashion, to encompass the political, sexual and social trends of the past decades. Whether tie-dyed, stamped with a slogan or icon, torn, slashed, or designed, these shirts make a statement, and everyone from presidents to rock stars, bikers to bankers, babies to baby boomers, has at least one white T. Celebrating this universally worn piece of clothing, "The White T" is a chronicle of cultural history, and like its quirky and expressive subject, in itself a work of art. . First Edition.

Yale University Press, 2004 New / Unread copy - Over-sized/Heavy book. 381 pages. Photo illustrations throughout. NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears. - This beautifully written book weaves together biographical, historical, and artistic strands to present a colorful tapestry of the photographer Alfred Stieglitz’s (1864–1946) early life and work. Generously illustrated, the volume includes photographs Stieglitz took in Europe (some rarely seen), his first works in the United States, and Katherine Hoffman’s new photographs of important sites in young Stieglitz’s life. The book is the first to look closely at the photographer’s formative years and photographic works before 1917. Although Stieglitz was born in New Jersey, his ancestry lay in Germany, where he spent some of his high school and university years. Stieglitz: A Beginning Light traces the lasting influences of European culture on his work, as well as the impact of American democratic traditions. The book also recounts his tireless and often lonely efforts as a young photographer, editor, writer, and gallery director to gain recognition for the Modernist cause and for photography as a fine art.

Best of all, Kelsh gives great suggestions for when to take pictures, stressing the importance of those everyday moments that may magically transform into special memories. Think of your daughter dressing her favorite doll or your son's first day on the job; Mom tending her beloved flower beds or Dad tooling away with his fishing tackle. Years from now, these are the images that will prompt sentimental smiles and thoughtful pauses. Nick Kelsh is a renowned photographer whose work has been featured in numerous publications, including on the covers of several books in the prestigious Day in the Life series. He collaborated with author Anna Quindlen to create the best-selling books Naked Babies and Siblings. Synopsis Taking professional-quality photographs of your favorite baby is within your grasp.

Black boards with silver lettering (clean and bright). Nicely illustrated. Tight spine, bright pages. 308 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Synopsis This is a book about the way that artists both writers and photographers approach their subjects and the choices they must make in creating art from their perceptions of other people's lives and experiences. For the photographer, Carol Shloss notes, these choices come at the actual moment when he stands before his subject, seeking to capture it in some way within the technical limitations of the camera frame. For the writer particularly the writer who chooses to seek out others and to make art from "opening up" to the presence of another person the choices made are more hidden but nevertheless similar to the ones faced by the photographer: Shloss shows how the process of constituting a text and finding its material is in many ways like using a camera. Throughout, Shloss stresses the significance of the relationship between artist and subject, noting, "Whatever its desired end, art is drawn out of separateness and...the artist's terms of engagement with his or her subject are manifold, with referents in fear and in hope, in desire, fascination and hunger." Filled with fascinating glimpses into the ways both writers and photographers work, the book explores the links between the two in chapters on Hawthorne and daguerreotypy; Henry James and Alvin Langdon Coburn; Theodore Dreiser, Alfred Stieglitz, and Jacob Riis; John Dos Passos and the Soviet cinema; James Agee and Walker Evans; John Steinbeck and Dorothea Lange; and Norman Mailer and World War II combat photography (especially that of Robert Capa and Margaret Bourke-White). Illustrated with some 40 photos, In Visible Light reveals in penetrating detail the values that underpin literature andphotography, demonstrating that "art and politics are of the same metaphysical substance."

Beautifully illustrated throughout with color photographs. 96 pages. Synopsis The most hilarious, whimsical moments captured on film, from twenty-five years of living Outside. Publishers Weekly A perfect companion volume to Outside's recent silver-anniversary anthology, Outside 25, this collection of 67 images from the magazine's signature photo feature, the Parting Shot, will charm the polypropylene socks off adventure seekers and animal lovers alike. Products of both technical acumen and perfect serendipity, these photographs are the best of nearly two and a half decades of the magazine's popular "caboose slot." Though snapped by an impressive roster of nature photographers in places all over the world, the images can be loosely categorized by subject: there are cute furry or fuzzy things (a baby penguin cozily squashed between his parents); visual ironies (a squawking bird perched on a loudspeaker); people flying, either intentionally or not, through the air (a surfer tossed high by waves, skydivers plummeting through the ether); and "take that, human!" moments (a man falling off a raft, a lion munching on a video camera). Of course, some shots are simply interesting or beautiful-nothing to shake a walking stick at. But it's the wonderful, whimsical moments in which people and nature collide (sometimes literally) that truly delight. (Nov.) Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.

Publishers Weekly Wegman's fans will recognize Man Ray, Chundo, Chip and his many other weimaraners in this treasury edition, Wegmanology. The volume incorporates previously published work alongside new photographs to convey basic concepts. Three canines in butcher, baker and candlestick-maker garb "rub-a-dub-dub" in a tub in the "Nursery Rhymes" section; Fay Ray gets an X-ray to demonstrate the letter "X" in the "Dog Alphabet." The pooches also pose for counting, shapes and careers. (Sept.) Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information. Children's Literature Who can resist Wegman's winsome, wistful weimaraners? Man Ray, Fay Ray, Chundo, Batty, Crooky and Chip oblige the author by representing, by costume and form, topics of interest to young children. Included are occupations, numbers, nursery rhymes, the alphabet, shapes and the guessing game, Animal, Vegetable or Mineral. The book begins with the author's definition of Wegmanology—"a collection of works, starring William Wegman's amazingly talented weimaraners." That being said, this can certainly be described as a visual book, words being used most often to title the photographs. These dogs appear serene even when they are arranged to form the letters of the alphabet, which must require great patience, both canine and human. Their nonplussed expressions are constant, whether wigged, buried under sand or dressed like an elephant. Young children will be amazed and adults will be amused with these "grey ghosts" of the dog world and with the imagination and wit of the author/photographer.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. more information
