When photographer Pete McBride uses the word ‘silence,’ he means the absence of man-made sounds. The silence of nature, he writes, can range from ‘pin drop quiet one second and wonderfully loud the next.’  We learn that there are few places where one can hear only nature’s silence. Even in wilderness areas, the frequent rumble of jets is heard as they pass over. McBride has travelled the globe, seeking out those rare hide-aways of nature’s silence, and in this fine work, he shares what he has found through stories and breathtaking photography.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“With striking images and thoughtful essays, McBride's book, captures two under-appreciated but increasingly important elements of our world: the power of silence and the magic of natural sounds.” —PAUL NICKLEN, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CONTRIBUTOR AND FOUNDER OF SEALEGACY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Pete McBride’s journey and imagery stirs the soul.

So the timing of a remarkable new book—Seeing Silence: The Beauty of the World’s Most Quiet Places by award-winning photographer and filmmaker Pete McBride—is perfectly poised to be published this month as a mesmerizing tribute to wanderlust and a soothing gift for those who miss the bliss of the beyond. This 216-page, lavishly photographed and compellingly written ode to off-the-beaten-path treasures focuses not on the total absence of sound, but rather the serene whispers and the significant stirrings of nature. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e An easy, engaging read, Seeing Silence brims aplenty with descriptions of McBride’s adventures—such as swimming with orcas in Norway, trekking to Mount Everest and trudging through swampy Amazonian jungles in Peru with British explorer and TV personality Ed Stafford. Across seven continents, from North to South poles, McBride has artfully zoomed his camera lenses at scores of exquisitely singular spots, some of which are virgin terrain, where no other photographer has tread. With an inviting foreword penned by author and environmentalist Bill McKibben and a thoughtful prologue written by activist, adventurer, author and motivational speaker Erik Weihenmayer (the first blind person to reach the summit of Mount Everest), Seeing Silence shares insights about exceptional escapes and bolsters our heart-felt longing for the restorative balm that comes from traversing fresh horizons.” —FORBES\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Seeing Silence by fellow photographer and explorer Pete McBride is a remarkably timely and compelling ode to off-the-beaten-path treasures and the magic of silence and natural sounds—a tonic we all love and need, but often forget amidst the hustle and din of our mechanized world.\"—JIMMY CHIN, ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR OF \u003ci\u003eFREE SOLO\u003c\/i\u003e AND \u003ci\u003eNATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC\u003c\/i\u003e PHOTOGRAPHER \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In the search for the last quiet places, McBride’s work has stood as a beacon of advocacy for wild places and the beauty that lies within.” —CHRIS BURKARD, PHOTOGRAPHER AND FILMMAKER\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “Listening to Nature was once essential for our survival.

Moreover, as a time-based medium with sound, film can bring the event of photography into fuller view, demonstrating how no single participant in it (photographer, subject, camera, photograph, or viewer) has sovereignty over its affect, meaning, or value. The book thus explores the ways in which the innovative incorporation of photography into documentary film permits us to see both of these media otherwise.

This new biography tells his story in full.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1927, Lynes had met a couple, Glenway Wescott and Monroe Wheeler, eventually a writer and an arts administrator (at the Museum of Modern Art in New York) respectively. .... The following year he joined them in the south of France. The relationship became triangular, though not equilaterally: poor Wescott was somewhat edged to one side, even though the three of them lived together for more than a decade. As Ellenzweig rightly comments, 'these three men designed a way of life that appears as inventively bohemian as the roundelay of London's Bloomsbury Group.' ... Both scholarly and gossipy, this book has a cast of hundreds ... but Ellenzweig marshals his material with a steady hand. * Gregory Woods, Emeritus Professor of Gay \u0026amp; Lesbian Studies, Nottingham Trent University, UK, and author of Homintern: How Gay Culture Liberated the Modern World *\u003cbr\u003eThis book is rich in details about his life and the world that produced him. It is the sort of book that you can open to a random page and be caught by some detail that will have you racing to Google to learn more... For anybody looking to study or recreate gay life in the mid 20th century, this is a deluxe road map. * Skot Armstrong, ArtilleryMag.com *\u003cbr\u003eEllenzweig spent many years researching his Lynes book, and his energy and enthusiasm for his subject never flag. He is a tireless scholar, but he is also an insightful critic who can do a close read of any of the Lynes photos printed in the book and make you understand them more intimately. I read George Platt Lynes: The Daring Eye slowly because I didn't want it to end. This is a significant and painstaking and immersive book, shining a light on all aspects of a very flawed man who himself was one of the first artists to shine a light on the beauty of the male form in photographs. * Dan Callahan, Out In Print *\u003cbr\u003eEllenzweig's splendid biography shows more thoroughly than ever before the full range of his talent. * Joseph M. Ortiz, The Gay \u0026amp; Lesbian Review Worldwide *\u003cbr\u003eOne of the great virtues of Ellenzweig's sweeping book ... is that it's as much cultural history as personal biography. Lynes was able to photograph so many luminaries because he moved in their circles, and his evident talent made him a likely collaborator on many of their artistic projects. Ellenzweig provides in-depth accounts of these figures and projects as they came into Lynes' orbit, from Paul Cadmus' portrait of Lynes and their friends, to [Lincoln] Kirstein's establishment of the New York City Ballet under [George] Balanchine, and to the dazzling premier of Virgil Thomson and Gertrude Stein's opera Four Saints in Three Acts. In this respect The Daring Eye follows the model of Martin Duberman's The Worlds of Lincoln Kirstein and Jerry Rosco's Glenway Wescott Personally, two biographies of Lynes' friends that show the extent to which 20th-century art was driven by a transatlantic circle of gay friends and lovers. * Joseph M. Ortiz, Gay \u0026amp; Lesbian Review  *\u003cbr\u003eEllenzweig takes on a herculean task of carefully documenting the life of one of the unsung icons of gay imagery as well as that of a master photographer. * Jeffrey Felner, New York Journal of Books *\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Platt Lynes: The Daring Eye bursts with detail about painters, sculptors, writers, photographers, performers, patrons and socialites during a thrilling time for art. From the end of World War I into the fifties, the emergence of modernism and expressionism profoundly influenced American and European culture. Allen Ellenzweig brings that world to life alongside George Platt Lyne's artistic brilliance, complex temperament and untamed sensuality. The book is a breathless ride. * Claudia Keenan, BookTrib (booktrib.com) *\u003cbr\u003eEllenzweig gives the great photographer George Platt Lynes his full due in this intimate, expansive, richly detailed biography. Lynes lived a tragically short life but his work and friendships put him at the center of 20th century American history. His portraits of artists and his pioneering work in the male nude both receive here the attention they deserve.The book is an encyclopedia of cultural and social changes before, during, and after World War II, exploring not just photography, but literature, dance, music, fashion, museum life, and sexuality. The huge cast includes Gertrude Stein, Virgil Thomson, Paul Cadmus, Katherine Anne Porter, Cecil Beaton, Lincoln Kirstein, and Alfred Kinsey, as well as Lynes's lovers, Glenway Wescott and Monroe Wheeler. But my favorite figure is George's younger brother, Russell Lynes, the historian, who remained loyal and supportive to his charming, high-energy brother throughout his life * Christopher Bram, author of Father of Frankenstein *\u003cbr\u003eThis masterly biography is a triumph of comprehensive research and highly sophisticated analysis. Ellenzweig's graceful, nuanced assessments expand our understanding not only of Lynes the individual, but of an entire epoch of cultural history. This is scholarship of the first rank, as well as psychological acuity of remarkable depth. * Martin Duberman, author of The Worlds of Lincoln Kirstein *\u003cbr\u003eAt last! A sweeping biography of George Platt Lynes, whose exquisite fashion photography, portraits of major cultural figures, and male and female nudes have attracted considerable interest in recent years. Drawing on his extensive research in Lynes's intimate correspondence and journals, Ellenzweig has unearthed illuminating new details about the once charmed and ultimately tragic life of this daring mid-century photographer and his influential gay circle. * George Chauncey, DeWitt Clinton Professor of History, Columbia University, and author of Gay New York: Gender, Urban Culture, and the Making of the Gay Male World, 1890-1940 *\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Platt Lynes dramatically staged and photographed a cosmopolitan network of friends, collaborators, and lovers during the 1930s and 1940s, revolutionizing such genres as the male nude, dance photography, portraiture, and fashion photography. Allen Ellenzweig's deeply researched and engagingly written biography provides context for the (re)discovery of an influential modern culture-maker. * Tirza Latimer, Professor Emerita, History of Art and Visual Culture, California College of the Arts, San Francisco *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart One: The Precocious Pup  Chapter 1:  Past is Prologue-1955  Chapter 2:  Imperial Fantasies  Chapter 3:  The Great Barrington Boy  Chapter 4: \"Baby George\" at the Stein Salon  Chapter 5:  Missing Miss Stein and Hating Yale    Part Two:  Three-Cornered Hats  Chapter 6:  The Triangle Takes Shape  Chapter 7:  The Hotel Welcome, Jean Cocteau, and the Return to Paris  Chapter 8:  A New Career  Chapter 9:  Camera Work     Chapter 10:  You've Got to Have Friends Chapter 11: Gertrude in Clover Amiably     Chapter 12:  Twice a Debutante    Part Three:  Three-Cornered Hats Times Two  Chapter 13:  The Mural Show and a Threat of Marriage  Chapter 14:  A Death in the Family  Chapter 15:  Four Saints and a ménage-à-trois  Chapter 16:  50 Photographs and a Family Wedding without Pictures  Chapter 17:  A Country House; Cocteau in Coney Island; The Sleepwalker  Chapter 18:  A Return to Paris; Bachelor and PaJaMa Parties    Part Four:  The Height of Fashion  Chapter 19: Models, Myths, 640 Madison Avenue  Chapter 20:  The Affair Beaton and a Conversation Piece  Chapter 21:  An Anthology of Faces at Pierre Matisse    Part Five:  Battles on the Homefront  Chapter 22:  The War Comes Home  Chapter 23:  Breaking Away  Chapter 24:  Fortune Tellers and Paying Debts   Chapter 25: \"Finis\"     Part Six:  Paradise Lost  Chapter 26:  Exiles in Paradise   Chapter 27:  Vogue-vagueness   Chapter 28:  Dr. Kinsey, E.M.
