Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century ago, legendary photographer Edward Curtis set about to capture the traditional world of Native Americans before that world vanished. Now, Ben Greenberg has done the same for the natural areas of Virginia. Devoted to preserving and celebrating Virginia’s diverse but sometimes threatened natural richness, Greenberg has spent years creating a collection of more than one hundred stunning images that range from the Commonwealth’s most well-known to its rarely explored landscapes. By framing all of these photographs—whether of the Shenandoah Valley in full fall blaze or of Tidewater piers in the afterglow of sunset—as panoramas, Greenberg heightens the drama and immediacy of the moment, forging an enduring composite portrait that captures Virginia’s natural heritage and at the same time reminds us of its fragility. Natural Virginiadivides the state into three regions: the Tidewater, Piedmont, and the Western mountains and valleys. The images in each, whether of a great blue heron emerging from river mists or of an almost leafless autumnal tree on Skyline Drive, convey a sense of grandeur while simultaneously inviting the viewer in to the intimacy of the settings, as though one might be able to smell the musk of the salt flats or to feel the brush of the fall wind. The photographs highlight the wide-ranging diversity of the Commonwealth’s national and state parks, wildlife refuges and management areas, their rivers, lakes, mountains, and wild creatures. Deane Dozier’s introductory essays to each region offer further insight into the geography and geology of Virginia.

Download or read book Virginia written by Carol M. Highsmith and published by Crescent. This book was released on 1997 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia, the "Old Dominion" state, is at once timeless and strikingly contemporary. Birthplace of eight of America's presidents, including Washington, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe, and home to an impressive array of ultra-modern industries, Virginia is a land of endless variety, beauty, and charm. A state of seeming contradictions--onetime queen of the confederacy yet proud to elect as Governor the grandson of former slaves--Virginia celebrates its vivid and romantic past, while striding towards it future confidently. A land of serenely bucolic landscapes, of fox hunts, debutante cotillions, peaceful plantations, and stately historic tours, Virginia also dazzles with its diversity. Where else can one leave the glistening strand of Virginia Beach for the airy splendor of the Blue Ridge Mountains? What other state boasts both legendary Jamestown--site of England's first permanent colony in the New World--and rustic Chincoteague Island, second home to wild ponies descended from horses that swam to safety after a Spanish galleon sank? Indeed, Virginia is the site of many of America's most famous cultural landmarks and homes. From Colonial Williamsburg to Yorktown, Appomattox Court House to the somber National Cemetery at Arlington; from Washington's gracefully proportioned Mount Vernon to Jefferson's classically beautiful Monticello to the humble and immensely moving place of Booker T. Washington's birth--"Virginia, A Photographic Tour," a marvelous portrait in words and pictures, perfectly captures the many glories of the commonwealth state. "Virginia, A Photographic Tour" is the perfect souvenir for anyone acquainted with Virginia, and a welcome gift for anyone hungry for a tasteof the style and spirit of this historic state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Virginia Intermont College: What Remains is a collection of photographs taken by photographer and former VIC student Haley Hensley. The first photographs were taken weeks after the college closed in April of 2014. The second set of images were taken two years later. SPECIAL EDITION: This softcover book contains photographs that have not been seen in the show! Artist Statement:For 130 years, thousands of students, faculty and staff members occupied the buildings at Virginia Intermont College. It is a place filled with memories and history. Now the quad, classrooms, the gym, dining hall, dorms, offices, the darkroom and library are abandoned. There is a quiet and lonely feeling that overwhelms and envelops me as I revisit the campus. All the memories and history of VI still remain- it was home.I wanted to photograph for myself at VI after it closed as a way to preserve the memories and feelings that I had experienced during my 3 years there. Once I started photographing and exploring buildings that I had never been in before I realized how much history was there and how special VI had been to so many other people.Even though the doors are closed and the desks are removed, VI is far from empty. Preserving the history of Virginia Intermont College is important because its' closing represents a current theme in our changing society. Smaller institutions of individuality, the very essence of America are being eradicated in favor of larger, cookie-cutter universities where one size fits all. VI represented a time and place where that individuality was the norm. These photographs are a way for thousands of alumni to reconnect with those memories that we share.

Download or read book Light Paper Process written by Virginia Heckert and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its beginnings, photography has been shaped by the desire to understand and explore the essence of the medium. Light, Paper, Process features the work of seven artists—Alison Rossiter, Marco Breuer, James Welling, Lisa Oppenheim, Chris McCaw, John Chiara, and Matthew Brandt—who investigate the possibilities of analog photography by finding innovative, surprising, and sometimes controversial ways to push light-sensitive photographic papers and chemical processing beyond their limits. A panoply of practices emerges in the work of these artists. Some customize cameras with special lenses or produce images on paper without a camera or film. Others load paper, rather than film, in the camera or create contact-printing with sources of light other than the enlarger, while still others use expired photographic papers and extraneous materials, such as dust and sweat, selected to match the particular subject of the photograph. All of the artists share a willingness to embrace accident and chance. Trial and error contribute to an understanding of the materials and their potential, as do the attitudes of underlying curiosity and inventive interrogation. The act of making each image is like a performance, with only the photographer present. The results are stunning. This lavish publication accompanies an eponymous exhibition on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum from April 14 to September 6, 2015.
