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.

BOOK INFOHardcover, 8.5 X 10.5 In. / 256 Pages / 70 B+W ISBN 9780988983151 List Price: $45.00 “...images and interviews attesting to the struggles and triumphs, dignities and indignities of gay and lesbian service members.”,- The New York Times Sunday Review, March 9, 2014Also featured in The Huffington Post, ABC News, Vice UK, SlatePhotographs by Vincent Cianni Through compelling photographs and interviews made over three years on road trips across the US, Vincent Cianni (born 1952) has created an important historical record of the struggles of gay and lesbian veterans and servicemembers in the US military. As the Human Rights Commission attests, the US military has a long history of civil rights abuses against homosexuals, with harassment and discrimination frequently resulting in lost careers. In many cases, these men and women—highly skilled, well-educated, patriotic, courageous, and productive—had attained high rank, received numerous medals, and held top-level jobs essential to the military. With essays by Alison Nordstrom, Don Bramer and Alan Steinman shedding light on the cultural, personal, and political consequences of the ban on homosexuality, this volume tells the stories of men and women who served in silence, and oftentimes were penalized and prohibited from receiving the benefits accorded them for serving in the military.

BOOK INFOHardcover, 8.75 X 11.75 In. / 176 Pages / Duotone ISBN 9781942084129 List Price: $50.00 "There is a weird beauty to these menacing images, a poignant absurdity that cuts through the visual overload of our age.", - The Village Voice, August 24, 2016"Photos once meant to be a very straight documentation of the United States now take on life as post-modern art pieces.", - Mother Jones, May 28, 2016Also featured by: CNN, The Guardian, HyperallergicEdited by Bill McDowellIntroduction by Jock Reynolds Text by Rosanne Cash and Wendell Berry Contributions by DJ Hellerman In Ground, Bill McDowell has assembled a series of "killed" negatives from the FSA archives, many of which have never before been published. These include several photographs from 1936 that Walker Evans had made for Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, the book he published with James Agee. Also included are never before published photographs by Walker Evans, Russell Lee, Ben Shahn, Marion Post Wolcott, John Vachon, Paul Carter, Theodor Jung, Carl Mydans, and Arthur Rothstein.While the book's images document 1930s agriculture and landscapes, they also have been chosen for the manner in which their black hole (created by Roy Stryker's hole punch) abstracts its subjects. McDowell feels that, from a modern viewpoint, the black hole of the "killed" negatives has the appearance of being a contemporary mark, one current with the practice of intervention, alteration, and appropriation. This provides the photographs a temporal duality in which they present the post-Depression era through a contemporary filter. In our continuing struggle to recover from 2008's Great Recession, these photographs speak to now even as they confer on past government programs, race and class, damaged and bountiful land, drought, flood, and exodus.

Using a range of approaches -- including photography/digital imaging, film and video, writing, collecting, re-using archival materials and the web -- Growing Up in the New Age sets out to reconsider the social utopias of the 1960s and early ‘70s, and what we might learn from them today.

His photographs show scenes inscrutable to viewers and difficult to identify: their relationship with the world around them seems senseless. The restlessness that characterizes his work is connected to Freud's concept of the Uncanny, which locates the origins of horror in the homely and familiar. The scenes depicted in these photographs emphasize what usually remains hidden: the repressed, which cannot be described. The anxiety these scenes arouse undermines the peacefulness and security usually associated with home. Essays by Eran Bar-Gil and Crista Dix.

His is a wonderful selection of portraits, landscapes and views from the pulse of daily life... De Vos’s point of view is intimate without being aggressive.,- ZEKE Magazine, Spring 2019Featured in Black + White Magazine and F-Stop MagazinePhotographs and introduction by Pieter de VosForeword by Leilani Farha Contributions by Stephan de Beer and Donald Banda HOMELANDS is the product of seven years of documentary work. The book provides an intimate view of South Africa, 25 years after apartheid, through the life of Donald Banda. Since 2012, I have been collaborating with Donald Banda to explore questions of home and belonging. I met Donald when he was living in Woodlane Village, an informal settlement located in a wealthy suburb in Pretoria. The Village is a microcosm for the tensions South Africa is experiencing around land, migration, and the growing gap between the rich and the poor. Early in my time with Donald, he confided that he had long desired to have his story told. But he never had the means to do so. This book represents my promise to carry his story forward. His narrative personifies the story of my homeland: a place of promise and heartache; a place of perseverance and faith; a place where personal histories reveal complex social truths. As South Africa observes the 25-year anniversary of the abolishment of apartheid, it is important to reflect on the country’s imperfect journey to democracy. For many, the dream of the “rainbow nation” remains elusive. Pieter de Vos is an award-winning photographer, educator and facilitator.Leilani Farha is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Housing.Stephan de Beer is the Director of the Centre of Contextual Ministry, University of Pretoria.

BOOK INFO Hardcover, 10 X 8 In. / 108 Pages / 10 Color / 70 Duotone ISBN 9780983231691 List Price: $39.95 “Sarah Christianson's approach to this project is thoughtful, thorough and meticulous in its presentation.”, - Fraction Magazine, December 2013“...an homage to family farming, an exploration of personal ancestry, a scrapbook, a sociological study of Norwegian immigrants, a love letter to North Dakota, and a long-term photography project.", - Photo Eye Blog, January 30, 2014Photographs by Sarah Christianson Introduction by Arnold R Alanen “The search for home place is the mythical search for the axis mundi, for something to hang on to,” wrote Lucy Lippard in The Lure of the Local. For Sarah Christianson, home is a 1200-acre farm in the Red River Valley of North Dakota. Her parents are the fourth, and last, consecutive generation to work this land, as she and her siblings have all moved away to pursue other careers. The realization that she was part of a larger rural exodus provided her with the impetus to document her farm at this critical juncture. She combined her images with materials from her family’s archive to create a rich, multi-layered narrative about family tradition, agriculture, emigration, and the passage of time. The result is a document which not only tells of of hard toil and the declining economic role of the family farm, but celebrates a resilient, fiercely independent tradition.
