Download or read book Each Wild Idea written by Geoffrey Batchen and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2002-02-22 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays on photography and the medium's history and evolving identity. In Each Wild Idea, Geoffrey Batchen explores a wide range of photographic subjects, from the timing of the medium's invention to the various implications of cyberculture. Along the way, he reflects on contemporary art photography, the role of the vernacular in photography's history, and the Australianness of Australian photography. The essays all focus on a consideration of specific photographs—from a humble combination of baby photos and bronzed booties to a masterwork by Alfred Stieglitz. Although Batchen views each photograph within the context of broader social and political forces, he also engages its own distinctive formal attributes. In short, he sees photography as something that is simultaneously material and cultural. In an effort to evoke the lived experience of history, he frequently relies on sheer description as the mode of analysis, insisting that we look right at—rather than beyond—the photograph being discussed. A constant theme throughout the book is the question of photography's past, present, and future identity.

Download or read book Unposed written by Craig Semetko and published by Whalen Studios Editions. This book was released on 2022-09-20 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Follow in the footsteps of Leica Camera Ambassador Craig Semetko’s 10 year trek across the globe to capture the spontaneity, humor, and juxtaposition of the human experience. In the book’s forward, iconic photographer Elliott Erwin writes, “Good photographs are tough enough to shoot. Really funny ones are even harder. Good and funny photographs observed in nature not arranged or manipulated but simply observed in real time with amazing consistency, constitute a minor miracle now presented in Mr. Semetko’s book…In my book, he is the essential photographer. That is, the one who sees what others could not have seen.” Inspired by Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, and Elliott Erwitt, Craig Semetko is a collector of the spontaneous moment. With an uncanny knack for using Leica Cameras to capture the beautiful and unexpected that surrounds us all, Semetko offers a striking collection of imagery shot during 10 years of traveling around the world, from Edinburgh to Amsterdam, France to Los Angeles, Hanoi to Bangkok, and beyond. This visual celebration records the first decade of the twenty-first century across all walks of life. Semetko documents the muted beauty of regular people simply living their lives, and captures the humor found in the offbeat and eccentric contrasts all around us. Unposed is a memorable exploration of an era shot by a skilled photographer, dubbed by Esquire magazine as “a noble torchbearer” of the Leica Camera legacy.

Download or read book Oskar Barnack from the Idea to the Leica written by and published by . This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is approximately one hundred years ago that Oskar Barnack designed a camera for 35 mm motion picture film without a forerunner or any camera with similar specifications. The camera was to fit in a coat pocket and should always be ready to take pictures. Those were Oskar Barnack¿s self-imposed objectives. On 31 December 1839, the ¿Münchner Politische Zeitung¿ (Munich political newspaper) reported about a recent simplification of the Daguerrian method by Professor Steinheil, who had developed a camera for 4 x 4 cm negatives and who demanded that camera and pictures should be even significantly smaller in order for photography to achieve a greater popularity. Oskar Barnack did not know about this report, but it was Barnack who satisfied this demand 75 years later.The Leica was ridiculed in 1925, but in 1932 one hundred thousand cameras had been distributed all over the world. The Leica made it possible for the photographer to experience a new spirit in photo-graphy, a photography of the actual events. Contrived scenes were no longer necessary.But who was Oskar Barnack? What led him to the idea to design a camera around 35 mm motion pic-ture film, fit in the coat pocket, and produced only a postage stamp sized negative? (Experts of the time said that could not be possible). However, the renowned manufacturer of microscopes, Ernst Leitz, of Wetzlar, Germany, which had never produced a camera, decided to manufacture this camera. Why? In Germany, at this time was the world¿s largest and most innovative camera industry. However, life was difficult because of ruinous competition between large camera manufactures. Still, the Leica could establish itself in a masterful way. How Oskar Barnack arrived at his idea and how he accomplished it is described in this book.
Download or read book The Open Road written by David Campany and published by Aperture. This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the end of World War II, the American road trip began appearing prominently in literature, music, movies, and photography. Many photographers embarked on trips across the U.S. in order to create work, including Robert Frank, whose seminal 1955 road trip resulted in The Americans. However, he was preceded by Edward Weston, who traveled across the country taking pictures to illustrate Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass; Henri Cartier-Bresson, whose 1947 trip through the American South and into the West was published in the early 1950s in Harper's Bazaar; and Ed Ruscha, whose road trips between Los Angeles and Oklahoma later became Twentysix Gasoline Stations. Hundreds of photographers have continued the tradition of the photographic road trip on down to the present, from Stephen Shore to Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs. The Open Road considers the photographic road trip as a genre in and of itself, and presents the story of photographers for whom the American road is muse. The book features David Campany's introduction to the genre and eighteen chapters presented chronologically, each exploring one American road trip in depth through a portfolio of images and informative texts, highlighting some of the most important bodies of work made on the road from The Americans to present day.
Download or read book Up Until Now written by Petrea King and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2017-08-23 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Petrea King is one of those rare Australians who have changed the country for the better.' Richard Glover As a child Petrea King was dogged by health issues, spending months in hospital over many years. After leaving school, her desire to help others impelled her to become a nurse, then later to qualify as a naturopath, herbalist, homoeopath, yoga instructor and meditation teacher. In her early thirties Petrea was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and given little chance of surviving. She defied her dire prognosis, and believes meditation and coming to terms with past traumas, including the suicide of her brother Brenden, were key to her recovery. Motivated by her own experiences, Petrea founded the Quest for Life Foundation to support people suffering devastating physical and mental illnesses. Up Until Now is her inspirational tale of how she overcame her own challenges to dedicate her life to others. 'The wisdom Petrea imparts, and her compassion and sensitivity, have helped hundreds of thousands of people, providing them with hope in troubled times.' Tony Delroy
