MIT Press Brian Weil 197995 Being in the World Semiotexte
Book SynopsisThe first career retrospective of activist photographer Brian Weil, whose work and practice explored insular cultures.This book offers the first career retrospective of Brian Weil (1954-1996), an artist whose photographs pushed viewers into a deeply unsteadying engagement with insular communities and subcultures. A younger contemporary of such participant-observer photographers as Larry Clark and Nan Goldin, Weil took photographs that foreground the complex relationships between photographer and subject, and between photograph and viewer. Weil was a member of ACT UP and the founder of New York City's first needle exchange, and his photographs became inextricably tied to his activist practice. His late work, an extensive series of portraits whose subjects bear witness to the emerging AIDS pandemic, is included here, along with selections from several earlier and concurrent projects: Sex (underground sex and bondage participants), Miami Crime (homicide scenes inve

Temple University Press,U.S. Risking Life and Lens

In this case, as a social documentary photographer who opens windows for viewing extraordinary social worlds. Worlds of real, diverse people living out everyday lives criss-crossed by realities of race, class, gender in intensely urban settings of East Coast metropolises.

University of Arkansas Press A Photographer of Note: Arkansas Artist Geleve
Book Synopsis In a selection of more than one hundred black and white images taken over a period of sixty years, this book bears witness to the life of a remarkable photographer and to small-town African American life in the middle of the twentieth century. Geleve Grice was born and raised near Pine Bluff, and he has documented the ordinary life of his community: parades, graduations, weddings, club events, and whatever else brought people together. In the process he has created a remarkable historical portrait of an African American community. Through his lens we glimpse the daily patterns of segregated Pine Bluff, and we also participate in the excitement of greeting extraordinary visitors. Martin Luther King Jr., Mary McLeod Bethune, Harry S. Truman, and others all came through town. Folklorist Robert Cochran worked with Grice to select these photographs from the thousands he has taken across a lifetime. They organized the work chronologically, reflecting Grice's early years in small-town Arkansas, his travel as a serviceman in World War II, and his long career in Pine Bluff. Cochran's accompanying chapters link Grice to the great tradition of American community photographers. He also shows how work for pay-at the Arkansas Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal College in Pine Bluff; at the Arkansas State Press daily newspaper; through his own studio-shaped Grice's work. Cochran shows that Grice not only made his living taking photographs for jobs, but that he also made his own life by making photographs for himself-and now for history.Trade ReviewA great book! These are wonderful images embedded in a very important story. At last we see, vividly and intimately, a complex world that has for too long remained obscured. Grice's images and Cochran's text transform and deepen our vision." —Tom Rankin, executive director of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University"Striking images reveal celebrities and ordinary folks at moments of celebration and of sadness. They show scenes of black life in the South that are too seldom seen, of people living lives of great dignity even amidst social burdens. Bob Cochran's narrative is a triumph of documentary work. A splendid achievement!" —Charles Reagan Wilson, editor of Encyclopedia of Southern Culture and director of the Center for the Study of Southern Culture at the University of Mississippi

University of Iowa Press Driving a Table Down
Book SynopsisOn September 23, 2018, photographer Barry Phipps drove seven hours south from his home in Iowa to his parents' house in southern Missouri. There they wrestled a family heirloom into his car - a wooden table for his Aunt Diane - and Barry and his mother drove more than twelve hundred miles to Diane's home on Florida's Gulf Coast, stayed a few days, then drove back to Missouri. Phipps presents the 104 color photographs in Driving a Table Down - selected from more than 2,000 photographs taken over the twelve-day trip - in sequential order to show, in his words, 'what does and does not change as one travels through shifting cultural and geographic regions.' By capturing the present moment while referencing the past with faded signs, almost obliterated murals, closed businesses in quiet towns, forgotten tourist attractions, and many other layers of historical accumulations, the photographs illustrate the stark fact that the present is never entirely present tense. Phipps's attention to the real-time details of rural regions of the Midwest and the South, juxtaposed with personal photographs of his family, gives us a momentary definition of America in a state of flux, an America that looks to the past in a time of an uncertain future.

Princeton Architectural Press Radiant: Farm Animals Up Close and Personal
Book SynopsisGregarious or shy, curious or placid, playful or retiring, all the animals in Traer Scott’s newest collection have one thing in common: a sparkling personality! This whimsical, soulful, and personal photo collection focuses on the lives of the farm animals we often take for granted. Scott introduces us to barnyard animals both familiar and lesser known, from cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens to Dolly the wooly llama, Bianca the Sicilian miniature donkey, Percy the Indian peafowl, and Justice the yak. Some of the animals are kept as pets; others are denizens of farm sanctuaries that Scott has visited. She shares her anecdotes about a Texas longhorn steer whose best friends are a trio of goats, a turkey who likes to snack on grapes and watermelon, and many others. Lively captions provide information on each breed, to round out this enchanting tribute to our four-legged (and winged) friends from the farm.Trade Review"Gregarious or shy, placid, playful of retiring, all the animals in Traer Scott’s newest collection have one thing in common – great looks and personality. This whimsical photo collection focuses on the lives and history of livestock both familiar and lesser known, from cows, sheep and poultry to Dolly the woolly llama and Bianca the Sicilian miniature donkey. This is an intriguing book with enchanting photography over 120 pages." -- Countryside Magazine"IN THIS new book from photographer Traer Scott, we find ourselves presented with an unusual subject. Portraits of animals are not unusual per se but these images offer us an intimate insight into animals. Cows, pigs, chickens and sheep gaze into the camera lens; all of them are farmyard animals. Any photography book that deals with a subject such as this will inevitably mention the ethics surrounding the industrial scale of meat farming, providing us with the food we consume daily. However, Scott is keen to point out that this volume is not concerned with taking sides and instead she chooses to take an objective approach to the subjects. Not all of the animals featured are kept for slaughter, some are kept as pets." -- Amateur Photographer'“Pigs,” writes the American photographer Traer Scott, in the introduction to her new book, Radiant: Farm Animals Up Close and Personal, “remind me of huge, brainy, food-obsessed toddlers.” Pictured here is a Yorkshire Cross named Ben David, born as a runt, and brought up in the care of a woman who bottle fed and potty trained him, until he was ready to stand on his own four feet. Nowadays, he lives at an animal sanctuary, where he has a new surrogate mother in the form of a sow named Honey, to whom he is, says Scott, “very attached.”' -- TheTelegraph"Ben David the Yorkshire cross pig [...] is one of 42 rescued farm animals that American photographer Traer Scott recruited for her new book, Radiant. Scott spent a year trying to capture the best side of a dwarf goat or lure chickens to her backdrop. Farm animals, she says, live in the shadows of domestic and exotic animals." -- The Times Magazine
