Tuttle Publishing Photography in Japan 1853-1912: Second Edition
Book SynopsisThe must-have classic work on early Japanese photography!"Writer Bennett crafted this beautiful and educational book from a collection of 350 old and rare images captured by Western photographers. This book offers a glimpse of life in Japan during one of its most dramatic periods in history." —Shutterbug Magazine"The extensive collection of valuable photographs in this book and its text might be described as a visual record of our native land during that period, a record that has been lost to us since so many early photographs left Japan." —Message announcing Photography in Japan: 1853-1912 as the Winner of the 2007 International Award of the Photographic Society of JapanThis book presents a fascinating visual record of Japan and Japanese culture during its metamorphosis from a feudal society to a modern industrial nation—at a time when the art of photography was still in its infancy. The 350 rare images in this book, most of them published here for the first time, chronicle the introduction of photography in Japan and the history of early Japanese photography. These images are vital in helping us to understand the dramatic changes occurring in Japanese society during this critical period.Taken between 1853 and 1912 by talented Japanese and foreign photographers, these photographs document the history of photography in Japan in a comprehensive and systematic way, with extensive information about the photographers as well as the people and subjects illustrated. The images, whether sensational or everyday, intimate or panoramic, document a nation on the brink of abandoning its traditional ways and entering the modern age.Trade Review"Writer Bennett crafted this beautiful and educational book from a collection of 350 old and rare images captured by Western photographers.

New Heroes & Pioneers Lodestars Anthology: Pathways
Book SynopsisLodestars Anthology: Pathways contains 14 of the best and most carefully selected paths and trails that we have traversed. This book explores and details those pathways, the people, the landscapes and the fascinating things we discovered along the way. The journeys we take have a start and an end point, but we, in this book, want to relish the bit in between. So whether this is a mountain pass in the Italian Alps where we meet highland shepherds, or sprawling, urban grids with a bevy of restaurants and contemporary design, we want to inspire the reader to follow these paths and take precious moments to engage in everything possible through their senses. The book is a guide to these pathways, but goes beyond this to capture and document the lives of the people we meet, the challenges of the trip and the culture and landscapes we find that inspire us to keep on adventuring. 1 A collection of pathways from around the world captured through compelling narrative, high quality photography and key guide points. 2 Documenting how to travel and how to experience everything from the start the end of a journey. 3 The people we meet, the places we discover, the sights we see and the paths we took to discover them.

Leuven University Press Dirk Lauwaert. Selected Writings, 1983-2008
Book SynopsisSAVE THE DATE BOOK LAUNCH, NOVEMBER 9 at 20h00, PASSA PORTA BOOKSHOP, BRUSSELSThe first introduction of the seminal writings of a key Belgian writer and critic to an English-speaking audience.Radically subjective. Radically unapologetic. Radically demanding. These are the hallmarks of Dirk Lauwaert’s skill, attitude, and sensitivity, which are the result of radical attention.Belgian writer and critic Dirk Lauwaert (1944–2013) wrote about images, be they moving or still, historical or contemporary, overfamiliar or unseen. He experienced them intensely, studied them attentively, and connected them to ethical, philosophical, or social issues in texts that invited readers to do the same, whether they were leaving the movie theater, browsing a photo book, or visiting an exhibition.This selection presents the depth and scope of Lauwaert’s immense output through 15 key texts in which the Belgian author unfolds his central ideas and motifs, displaying his kaleidoscopic thinking and essayistic ability. The texts span 25 years – from 1983 to 2008 – and were originally published in various contexts over the course of three decades.Table of ContentsNote Acknowledgements A Culture of Showing. Firm Elegance in the Writing of Dirk Lauwaert by Herman Asselberghs NotesI Contemporary Sophistry and the Poor Experience Reports from a Classroom Critique of Enthusiasm.

Mr & Mrs Z The Black White Project
Book SynopsisThe black & white house has a special place in the colonial history of Singapore. It was very much the quintessential home of the expatriate Englishman. As an amalgamation of English, Indian and Malay design features, these houses have an architectural uniqueness that has seen them become conservation properties in Singapore. However, in post-colonial Singapore, these properties are now increasingly rare and the gardens and landscapes on which they sit are the target of land redevelopment schemes.Peter's photographs of black & white houses, within the landscapes on which they rest offer a view of the black & white house has never been captured before. These images are unique and evoke a memory of a bygone era as well as a call for the conservation of the landscapes on which the black & white house sits.
