Chakeres Foreword by Leland Melvin Introduction by W.M. Hunt/Dancing Bear  First Fleet began more than 30 years ago with the launch of the first Space Shuttle Columbia in 1981. With special access to photograph the Shuttle operations at the Kennedy Space Center, John Chakeres began his multi-year project photographing the five original space shuttles. The images in First Fleet are a never-before-seen look at the sensational launch and landing operations of the space shuttles.

BOOK INFO Hardcover, 7.5 X 9 In. / 176 Pages / Illustrated throughout ISBN 9780989798181 List Price: $45.00 “Perhaps no one has more thoroughly chronicled the disruption of film-based photographers than Harvey Wang…”, - USA Today, December 10, 2015“...explores how the transition from film to digital has affected photographers and their work.”, - New York Review of Books, July 13, 2016“Wang interviews fellow-photographers and other renowned photo-world professionals about their experiences navigating technological changes in the medium.”, - The New Yorker, July 13, 2015 Photographs by Harvey Wang, Jerome Liebling, George Tice, Elliot Erwitt, David Goldblatt, Sally Mann, Gregory Crewdson, Susan Meiselas, Eugene Richards, Steven Sasson, and Thomas Knoll From Darkroom to Daylight explores how the dramatic change from film to digital has affected photographers and their work. Harvey Wang interviewed and photographed more than 40 important photographers and prominent figures in the field, including Jerome Liebling, George Tice, Elliott Erwitt, David Goldblatt, Sally Mann, Gregory Crewdson, Susan Meiselas and Eugene Richards, as well as innovators Steven Sasson (who built the first digital camera while at Kodak) and Thomas Knoll (who created Photoshop along with his brother). This collection of personal narratives and portraits is both a document of this critical moment and a unique history of photography. Much of Wang's work has been about disappearance—of trades, neighborhoods, and ways of life—and to live through this transition in his own craft has enabled him to illuminate the state of the art as both an insider and a documentary photographer.  View Details
