Hunt B: Film Camera Zen

Film Camera Zen

A Guide to Finding the Perfect Film Camera

Joss Marsh's stirring book traces the international phenomenon that is cinema's Dickens obsession, from its origins in Dickens's celebrity, through Dickens impact on the pioneers, first masters, and later innovators of the cinema and his enmeshment in the complex of technologies and cultural formations that made up the world of late-Victorian fantasy - from the photograph to the magic lantern, from celebrity to time travel.

As Joss Marsh observes in her stirring book on Dickens and cinema, Dickens was the first mass-mediated photographic celebrity of the modern era, more intimately "familiar" than any person in Britain besides the royal family. Suggesting Dickens's celebrity, as much as his work, contributed to the international phenomenon that is cinema's Dickens obsession, Marsh begins with  J. J. E. Mayall's famous celebrity portraits to trace Dickens's impact on the pioneers, first masters, and later innovators of the cinema. At the same time, Marsh uncovers a larger issue: to understand Dickens's place in cinema is to understand his enmeshment in the whole complex of technologies and cultural formations that made up the world of late-Victorian fantasy-from the photograph to the magic lantern, from celebrity to time travel.  Each of the six chapters unfolds a century-long cultural story that maps the Dickensian points of inspiration in the history of cinema. Marsh's cinematic geography of Dickensland transports the reader from Dickens's experiences with the early-Victorian portraitist's camera to Sunset Boulevard, Billy Wilder's remake of Great Expectations as a satire on the vampiric celebrity "celluloid self"; from actor-manager Martin-Harvey's 1899 manufacture of the "cast-iron" Victorian stage play to Dirk Bogarde's 1958 inheritance of the sacrificial gay role of Sydney Carton; from Charley Dickens Jnr.'s attempt to cash in on his father's knowledge of London to the history of production design as a medium of historical tourism and virtual experience; from Dickens's "impersonation" of Fagin, anti-Semitic and inherently theatrical, to the transformations of "the Jew" by Chaplin and David Lean and his musical apotheosis as magician and Pied Piper; from Dickens's 1868 return, in his last public reading, to the murder of Nancy to the contemporary slasher movie; and finally from the time travel enabled by the magic lantern's "dissolving views" through the role of Dickens's lantern-inspired Christmas tales of the 1840s in the lantern's development of pre-cinematic visual storytelling.  Informed by extensive archival research, deftly written, and beautifully illustrated, Joss Marsh's book shows film's fascination with Dickens was the trace of a persisting desire”fueled by decades of Dickensian impersonation and enabled by the medium's capacity to make still images live”to bring back the most extraordinary literary artist and personality of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries”to make Dickens live again.

Designers seek moments of creative bliss when everything aligns, stress dissolves, and decisions flow effortlessly. These 'in the zone' experiences keep creatives inspired. This book uncovers the dynamic nature of the design process, shedding light on the various modes of thinking that shape creative work.The design process is often taught through a linear framework: define the problem, do the research, generate ideas, prototype, test, and refine. This structure offers a shared language across disciplines-from architecture to fashion design-providing a roadmap for clarity and progress. However, as any practicing designer knows, the real process is far more fluid. With time and experience, designers learn to embrace the nonlinear nature of their work. Iteration becomes second nature, and space is made for unexpected, creative leaps-spontaneous breakthroughs where new connections emerge. These moments arise from the intersection of conscious and unconscious thought, resulting in surprising and powerful ideas. Within this intersection, the 'beautiful mess' of the designer's natural state emerges. This mess isn't disorder-it's the dynamic interplay between structured methods and spontaneous inspiration, revealing the fascinating tangle of creative thinking. This book celebrates that vibrant, messy process. Through rich photography of everyday studios and thoughtful conversations with artists, designers, and makers from across disciplines, it offers an intimate glimpse into how ideas are formed and refined. Whether you're a student, an emerging creative, or an experienced practitioner, this book invites you to recognize-and embrace-the unique nature of your own design journey, and find inspiration in the glorious chaos of making.

History in 15

Photographs are more than just illustrations of a moment in time, they offer a powerful way to interpret and understand the past like no other historical source can. U.S. History in 15 Photographs introduces this power through 15 iconic and lesser-known photographs representing key eras in American History. Taking the reader from Reconstruction and Westward Expansion, to the Roaring Twenties and the World Wars, right up to Modern American Culture, it offers a refreshing, visual account of American history. This volume reorients photography as a major source for understanding the past, expanding not only the stories that we tell, but the way we tell them. Teaching students how to understand, contextualize, and interpret historic photography, U.S. History in 15 Photographs centers diverse stories about the American experience by exploring topics around race, class, gender, disability, the environment, and social justice. The scholars who contributed to this volume show that photographs are more just illustrations from the past, but foundational sources with surprising revelations about the past.

A Mindful Practice for Photographers

When motorsport and automotive photographer Jamey Price first saw the NASCAR promotional film cameras from the 1990s show up on another photographer’s social media feed, he knew he had to have one. These cameras were never made to take outstanding photos. They were inexpensive, poorly made, and plastic. The winders break. The shutter stops working. They will just freeze in below zero temperatures. But they also capture magic.From the IMSA races to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Formula 1 races around the world to Monterey Car Week and Lamborghini events, Racing Unfiltered chronicles Price’s year-long journey to capture the highs, lows, and candid moments of motorsport racing, all through the lens of vintage film cameras.
