Rizzoli International Publications Seeing Silence
Book SynopsisIn a world ever more congested and polluted with both toxins and noise, award-winning photographer Pete McBride takes readers on a once-in-a-lifetime escape to find places of peace and quiet—a pole-to-pole, continent-by-continent quest for the soul.We tend to think of silence as the absence of sound, but it is actually the void where we can hear the sublime notes of nature. In this National Outdoor Book Award winning work, photographer Pete McBride reveals the wonders of these hushed places in spectacular imagery—from the thin-air flanks of Mount Everest to the depths of the Grand Canyon, from the high-altitude vistas of the Atacama to the African savannah, and from the Antarctic Peninsula to the flowing waters of the Ganges and Nile.These places remind us of the magic of being “truly away” and how such places are vanishing. Often showing beauty from vantages where no other photographer has ever stood, this is a seven-continent visual tourTrade Review“2022 National Outdoor Book Award: Nature & The Environment. 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.”“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“Pete McBride’s journey and imagery stirs the soul. With astute observation, this spectacular book asks us to slow down, observe the exquisite moments all around us and listen to the poetry and wisdom in nature.” —AMI VITALE, NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPHER AND FILMMAKER“Capturing light is an important talent for any photographer. Capturing the magic of nature, especially the moments when stillness and silence suspend a moment in time and space, that is art, and Pete McBride is the best at conveying that feeling on a page. This book is pure magic!” —CRISTINA MITTERMEIER, PHOTOGRAPHER AND FOUNDER OF SEALEGACY“The COVID-19 pandemic and associated global border closings have made us value more than ever the astonishing wonder of travel, remembering when we were once able to wander the world at will. 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. 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“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 FREE SOLO AND NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC PHOTOGRAPHER "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 “Listening to Nature was once essential for our survival. Now, it’s a forgotten privilege, often deafened by our own sounds. With visual and lyrical poetry, McBride reminds us of our need for being in Nature. This book is a call to arms, a manifesto for a worldview that embraces the world as a whole while reminding us of our smallness and arrogance.” —MARCELO GLEISER, TEMPLETON PRIZE LAUREATE, AUTHOR OF SIMPLE BEAUTY OF THE UNEXPECTED“Smithsonian 10 best photo books of 2021. If you know McBride’s work—he has traveled to 75 countries over his two-decades-plus career—you already know that these images are stunning. But what is more impressive, especially in our nonstop, clamorous, crazy world is the sense of silence these photos seem to capture. Your heart rate and breathing almost slow down as you take in photo of magnificent place after photo of magnificent place. No man-made noise, only the sounds of nature and all too rare sound of silence. McBride has given us a gift with this work, by showing us how much the natural world has to offer, if only we will slow down and listen. —SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE

Octopus Publishing Group Photography – A Feminist History
Book Synopsis***'An epic and fascinating book.' The Bookseller'Emma Lewis' sprawling new book shines a light on overlooked feminist histories' - AnOther MagazineHow did the abolitionist movement interact with women's entry into the field of photography? What does the medium have to do with menstrual taboos? Is there even such a thing as a 'feminist image'?Whether working in the studio or on the front line, women have contributed to every aspect of photography's short history. For some, gender is front and centre; for others, it's merely incidental. All have been affected by the power structures beyond their camera lenses. Far too many have been, and continue to be, overlooked.Mapping photographic developments against shifting gender rights and roles, Photography - A Feminist History shines a light on how photography has borne witness to women's movements and made the causes for which they fight visible, and how, in turn, different approaches to feminism have given us ways of understanding photographs. Authoritative and international in scope, Photography - A Feminist History features over 140 photographers, with ten thematic essays, and extended profiles on 75 key practitioners, many informed by conversations with the author.

Oxford University Press Inc A Medium Seen Otherwise
Book SynopsisThrough a new look at how political, historical, and art documentaries engage with photographic images, objects, and archives, A Medium Seen Otherwise argues that film allows us to better understand what people do with analog and digital photographs as material objects that enable social and political relations through multisensory experience. 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. Photographs, whether professional or vernacular, are conventionally understood to furnish documentaries with indexical evidence and visual illustration of history, yet the spatio-temporal and aural dimensions of film permit documentaries to iTable of ContentsAcknowledgments About the Companion Website Introduction 1.

Vintage Publishing Diane Arbus
Book SynopsisDiane Arbus was one of the greatest photographers of the last century. Her portraiture of freaks, circus performers, twins, nudists and others on the social margins connected with a wide public at a deep psychological level. Her suicide in New York in 1971 overshadowed the reception to her work. Her posthumous exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art a year later drew lines around the block.She was born into a Russian-Jewish family, the Nemerovs, who owned a department store on Fifth Avenue. They were family friends with the Avedons. Richard Avedon later championed Arbus's work. Avedon rose to greater and greater commercial success through the magazine world. Arbus died in a rent-protected apartment scrambling to earn her keep with odd teaching assignments. Lubow's biography begins at the moment Arbus quit the world of commercial photography to be an artist. She was uncompromising in that ambition. The book ends with her death.

Book SynopsisMillions of photos are taken every day across the world. Some are just snapshots. Others are more carefully crafted and have the capacity to deepen our vision and sharpen our sense of what life is truly about. Spirituality in Photography explores how photography can offer unique perspectives on the self, the world and what we live by. Readers are invited to take photos more slowly, reframe their gaze, allow themselves to be fully present, and let their photos tell a story - this includes a section on how photography can offer new perspectives on the Bible. The book also explores how photography can help readers meditate on mystery and tune into their own rule of life'.

MIT Press Ltd Gallup
Book SynopsisA poignant artistic collaboration, showing how history and mythology converge in the Navajo communities in and around Gallup, New Mexico.Taking a fresh approach to personal documentary, Gallup combines Roswell Angier’s photographs, Susan Hawley’s watercolor paintings, and both of their journal entries, as they explore the time they spent in Gallup, New Mexico in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Gallup is a place where histories and myths meet, and Angier and Hawley work through diverse media to portray a place where many versions of Native and American life have flowed together. They show that Gallup is both beautiful and difficult to know, in a way that reflects the long shadow of Native American disenfranchisement.Sober about social realities, Angier and Hawley nevertheless find lighthearted humor in the daily life of Gallup. They take us from the Navajo creation story to motels, from a rodeo to an inherited suitcase of Plains Indian artifacts

Book SynopsisIn essays analyzing the photography of luminaries such as Cindy Sherman, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Susan Meiselas, pioneering feminist art critic Abigail Solomon-Godeau extends her politically engaged and theoretically sophisticated inquiry into the historical and cultural circuits of power as they shape and inform the practice, criticism, and historiography of photography.Trade Review"Solomon-Godeau shines when applying deconstructive feminist analysis to broader questions of representation in visual culture, and the market forces that collude to elevate an artist’s reputation to master status." -- Wendy Vogel * Camera Austria *"With its refusal to separate photography from power and patronage, Abigail Solomon-Godeau's Photography After Photography arrives at an auspicious moment.. . . Bringing a wealth of information to bear on photographic meaning, Solomon-Godeau explores her topics in historical context. In doing so, she demonstrates that the way many photographs are understood today has little to do with the circumstance of their creation, or the manner in which they were originally distributed and viewed." -- Dore Bowen * Art in America *"While Solomon-Godeau’s overarching goal is to offer a feminist critique of the art world — particularly of critical discourse around art — in some of her essays she also discusses topics that fall outside this lens, such as the role of desire in photography and images of torture. In this sense, the anthology reflects the range of Solomon-Godeau’s practice and interest as an art critic and scholar." -- Ela Bittencourt * Hyperallergic *"Solomon-Godeau’s essays are lucid and make for captivating reading. . . .

Fordham University Press Athens Still Remains
Book SynopsisAthens, Still Remains is an extended commentary on a series of photographs of contemporary Athens by the French photographer Jean-Franois Bonhomme. But in Derrida's hands commentary always has a way of unfolding or, better, developing in several unexpected and mutually illuminating directions.Trade Review"Taking his point of departure from Bonhomme's wonderful photographs of Athens'photographs that bear the traces of the history of this living and dying city, as well as of an entire network of questions that have remained at the heart of the history of philosophy ever since its earliest Greek beginnings'Derrida offers us a moving meditation on the relations among photography, light, writing, memory, mourning, death, and survival. Presented as a series of photographic stills-in-prose, his exquisite essay not only enacts and performs what it wishes to convey, but it also tells us that we did not have to wait for the invention of photography to learn why ^3we owe ourselves to death,^2 or why, at every step of this wondrous photographic and philosophical journey, we also ^3owe ourselves to life.^2 It demonstrates once again why, like Athens, Derrida still remains one of our most cherished resources." -- -Eduardo Cadava Princeton University "In this fascinating short book Jacques Derrida ruminates on the photographical instant in the work of Jean-Francois Bonhomme. Confessing his 'passion for the delay' Derrida reads photography as an experience of mourning made possible by the full daylight of Athens and its surroundings. The book presents Derrida at his best, as he travels to ancient sites, contemplates the city and technics, reads ships and Plato - ultimately writing a picture, if that is possible, of photography itself." -- -Sander van Maas Utrecht University and University of Amsterdam "Athens, Still Remains-from the outset, a remarkable translation of an untranslatable title-is not only Jacques Derrida's most luminous and in-depth essay on photography: it develops itself as a photograph, bringing into new light the most structural aspects of the medium as well as its most fragile and fleeting ones. Struck by an enigmatic phrase-"We owe ourselves to death"-that takes a shot at him from the very beginning of his journey through Greece and will taunt him throughout, Derrida's reflection is irresistibly drawn to the photographic image by its spectral monumentality, the memory in the figure of the ruin it displays, the defer/delay (another name for Derrida's differance) effect at work in each image, bearing death from within. The departed, the multiple folds in which the departing process is present in the image, mourning and its intricate workings: this is what catches, here as always, Derrida's philosophical (and "autobiographical") attention-his meditation, rather, impregnated with melancholy, but always of the most active, creative, lively kind. But Athens, Still Remains is not only an essay on photography: more audaciously, Derrida suggests that it is philosophy itself that owes something, in its very "essence" or "origin", to the photographic image. A perfect example of the art of contretemps it analyzes so astutely, this moving essay-magnificently rendered if not heightened by Brault and Naas's most careful translation-comes to us at just the right moment: just in time. For there is no too-late in the reading of Derrida's work: it is there, ahead, waiting for us still." -- -Ginette Michaud Universite de Montreal
