Book excerpt: Philadelphia is a city of interesting contrasts that blend together the historic beginnings of America with tall, contemporary glass towers. These photos reveal a new way to see Philadelphia that challenges the viewer to ponder the unique perspective as a pedestrian walking the streets as I did, stopping to allow the reflection of the city emerge in the moment. People describe my work as modern, dreamy, geometric, complex and often beautiful. I call it "refection photography" in that every photograph is trained on the reflection in a building's window. These reflective compositions blends together geometry, color, interiors and exteriors, heat, light and natural elements to surprising results that defy traditional category. Each of the photos in my collection come alive through a combination of momentary elements, separately or together: the time of day, angle of sun, the color and quality of the glass, surface heat and length of shot, interior colors, exterior motion, lines and space of subjects, people, displays, height, reflection and of course how clean the surface. Coming together one day and disappearing the next.

Download or read book Herbert Hoover written by William E. Leuchtenburg and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2009-01-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Republican efficiency expert whose economic boosterism met its match in the Great Depression Catapulted into national politics by his heroic campaigns to feed Europe during and after World War I, Herbert Hoover—an engineer by training—exemplified the economic optimism of the 1920s. As president, however, Hoover was sorely tested by America's first crisis of the twentieth century: the Great Depression. Renowned New Deal historian William E. Leuchtenburg demonstrates how Hoover was blinkered by his distrust of government and his belief that volunteerism would solve all social ills. As Leuchtenburg shows, Hoover's attempts to enlist the aid of private- sector leaders did little to mitigate the Depression, and he was routed from office by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1932. From his retirement at Stanford University, Hoover remained a vocal critic of the New Deal and big government until the end of his long life. Leuchtenburg offers a frank, thoughtful portrait of this lifelong public servant, and shrewdly assesses Hoover's policies and legacy in the face of one of the darkest periods of American history.
