Download or read book Philadelphia written by Sean ORourke and published by Oscar Riera Ojeda Publishers. This book was released on 2020-02 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we properly acknowledge Philadelphia as our inspiration? Philadelphia has been around a long time, long before Jerome and I arrived here to make a living. This book was a long time coming. The seed was planted a while ago. We lived and worked for years in Philadelphia and as keen observers of this city we grew to love it with all its virtues and vices. It was just a matter of time before we looked at it as inspiration. It was just a matter of more time before we would recognize the complementary nature of our work. And yet we knew enough to recognize the folly of our ambition. Philadelphia, and probably any city for that matter, is just too complex to be rendered in a single book--no matter its size or scope. It lived a history deep in significance long before us and it will continue to grow and change long after we are gone. Professionals but not experts, our credentials were that we lived here as residents willing to allow our curiosity and craft to lead us to watch carefully, listen, and look at what most residents take for granted. I learned early that stories rule our lives in the city, significant events once past are repeated to friends and family until they leave their own retold impressions on our memories. However continuously linear we expect our lives to be lived, the space of time and size of memory conspire to compress experiences into events. Photographs too, perhaps like stories, capture and represent lived experience as moments. Our Philadelphia, as is all our history, is made of these moments: photographs and stories. And in our effort to find and delineate these moments we also recognized that we approached a sense of place. Circling ever closer to a shared recognition of character our work attempts to define a place not descriptively but intuitively. The book, our effort to celebrate what we share with so many others in this big beautiful city, is perhaps the appropriate acknowledgement. - Beautiful, black and white photographs by Jerome Lukowicz that provide an uncommon appraisal of the city of Philadelphia - The photographs present the city through singular views, common vistas, and vantage points that any resident or visitor would have, as they walk the streets of the city - Short texts and stories, written by Sean O'Rourke, that speak to Jerome's photographs and the experience of living in Philadelphia - The combination of photographs and stories 'shows' the physical character of the city, and 'tells' the experience of living in the city, that speaks to its architecture, urbanity and its authentic place - The same exact book is carefully packed in a lid and bottom box, offering three different cover photographs
Download or read book In Plain Sight written by and published by Camino Books. This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Philadelphia is thought to have the oldest and largest collection of public art in the country. Some of the works are in prominent locations and have become tourist destinations, much like the Liberty Bell or the Rocky statue. Other works of art define particular neighborhoods, parks and personalities. There are over 3,000 murals spread throughout Philly. It's an extraordinary number, but here, the extraordinary has become an ordinary part of life. These treasured works of art are so neatly woven into the fabric of the city, and have become so commonplace, that life simply moves around them. The art forms a backdrop to everyday activities. Some of these works are beautiful, some are powerful, and some serve as monuments to great figures, while still others were created to stir our imagination and curiosity. Each photograph in this book represents a moment in time when photographer Ed Hille was able to fulfill his purpose of helping people to appreciate and see new angles of the city and the art that surrounds them. This book is not just about the art on display, but also about the many ways in which we experience the art. It's a testament to Philadelphia, a city that has committed significant resources to creating and preserving public art"--
Download or read book Abandoned Philadelphia written by Christopher Hall and published by America Through Time. This book was released on 2021-04-26 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What became our nation's first capital, Philadelphia is a city full of history that is vital to the development of the United States of America. It is a city full of architectural and cultural diversity. Throughout the many transitions Philadelphia's economy has faced, many of these incredible marvels have been forgotten, and because of this, over the past decade, the city has become an epicenter for urban exploration on the East Coast. People travel from all over the United States to visit and photograph the abandoned places that lie within Philadelphia. Religious buildings, schools, theaters, power plants, and even a renowned boxing ring are a few of the many that sit abandoned to this day. While taking photos of these spaces can only do so much to bring recognition to them, photographer Christopher Hall aims to bring the story and history of these places back into the light. In this book, he showcases his collection of photographs from over the past five years of exploring Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love and the birthplace of America.

Download or read book Philadelphia Stories written by Fredric Miller and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philadelphia Stories is a kind of family album. As in their earlier volume, Still Philadelphia: A Photographic History, 1890-1940, Miller, Vogel, and Davis have collected photographs of ordinary lives and daily events from 1920 to 1960 that have shaped the collective memory of people in the Philadelphia area. Through a series of photo essays, Philadelphia Stories evokes the mood of an era that embraced the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, and the complacent prosperity of the 1950s. Contemporary photos document physical changes in the metropolitan area: the developing skyline, the streets of rowhouses, the expanding suburbs. Details on homelife, food prices, school activities, local politics, shopping, social mores, and neighborhood customs chronicle experiences that are in many ways distinct to Philadelphians but also indicative of dramatic social, political, and economic shifts in the United States over forty years. Using photojournalism as the dominant style of documentary photography—and consciousness making—the book also features three prototypical family albums. These collections of snapshots taken by local residents to record weddings, holidays, and other family events not only depict how people saw themselves at various times but reveal the kinds of memories they wanted to keep. While major national events create the context for this social history, the book focuses on the daily lives of Philadelphians: as they cope with the Depression, participate in New Deal programs, buy automobiles and television sets, grow Victory Gardens, hold air raid drills, visit the Freedom Train, move to the suburbs, cling to old neighborhoods, and maintain tradition amid flux.Philadelphia Stories celebrates the recent past in the words and images of those who experienced it. It is a family album for all who know and love the city. Author note: Fredric M. Miller is Curator of the Urban Archives Center, Paley Library, Temple University.Morris J. Vogel is Professor of History, Temple University.Allen F. Davis is Professor of History, Temple University.

Download or read book Women s Work written by Chris Crisman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A beautiful book that provides genuine encouragement and inspiration. Vivid portrait photography and accompanying essays declare that all work is women's work.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) In this stunning collection, award-winning photographer Chris Crisman documents the women who pioneered work in fields that have long been considered the provinces of men—with accompanying interviews on how these inspiring women have always paved their own ways. Today, young girls are told they can do—and be—anything they want when they grow up. Yet the unique challenges that women face in the workplace, whether in the boardroom or the barnyard, have never been more publicly discussed and scrutinized. With Women’s Work, Crisman pairs his award-winning, striking portrait photography of women on the job with poignant, powerful interviews of his subjects: women who have carved out unique places for themselves in a workforce often dominated by men, and often dominated by men who have told them no. Through their stories, we see not only the ins and outs of their daily work, but the emotional and physical labors of the jobs they love. Women’s Work is a necessary snapshot of how far we’ve come and where we’re heading next—their stories are an inspiration as well as a call to action for future generations of women at work. Women’s Work features more than sixty beautiful photographs, including Alison Goldblum, contractor; Anna Valer Clark, ranch owner; Ayah Bdeir, CEO of littleBits; Beth Beverly, taxidermist; Carla Hall, blacksmith; Cherise Van Hooser, funeral director; Jordan Ainsworth, gold miner; Magen Lowe, correctional officer; Mindy Gabriel, firefighter; Nancy Poli, pig farmer; Katherine Kallinis Berman and Sophie Kallinis LaMontagne, Founders of Georgetown Cupcake; Doris Kearns Goodwin, presidential biographer; Sophi Davis, cowgirl; Abingdon Welch, pilot; Christy Wilhelmi, beekeeper; Connie Chang, chemical engineer; Danielle Perez, comedienne; Indra Nooyi, former CEO of PepsiCo; Lisa Calvo, oyster farmer; Mia Anstine, outdoor guide; Meejin Yoon, architect; Yoky Matsuoka, a tech VP at Google; and many more.
