Sanguinetti A: Some say Ice

Some say Ice

Pedlars, Poseurs and Performers is a compelling insight into the world of the Portobello Street market. Fifty years of photographs, which go beyond the stalls, shops and cafés normally associated with it. Each picture features, where possible, the subject's name and the date the picture was taken. Some of the characters shared their stories with Brian Jaquest while being photographed in his studio.The non-conformist approach to the layout of the book represents the chaotic experience of a street market. The photographs and texts describe each category in the book's title: pedlars, poseurs and performers.This book is not only a visual record of the characters who have made the Portobello Street market famous over generations but is also a collection of fascinating photographs taken from the point of view of an insider. Pedlars, Poseurs and Performers is an in-depth photographic history which takes the reader into the ticking heart of the Portobello Road.

The Camera at War

Bird flight is a mesmerizing spectacle, yet its intricacies remains largely shrouded in mystery for most. Even after over a century of study, certain aspects of bird flight continue to baffle the public and ornithologists alike. Peter Cavanagh, a dedicated bird photographer, pilot and expert in the fields of biomechanics and anatomy, has dedicated a decade to crafting this remarkable book, How Birds Fly. Through awe-inspiring photography and conversational prose, Peter unveils the complex evolutions and physics of bird flight, making it accessible to bird lovers of all levels. Within these pages, you'll discover the elegant mechanics behind how birds fly. Explore the evolution of flight, the roles of bones, muscles and feathers, and the crucial functions of wings, wingtips and tails. From takeoff to landing, soaring to diving, and hunting to hovering, you'll gain unprecedented insight into avian movement. Chapters featured in this book include, but are not limited to: <ul> <li> The evolution of bird flight</li> <li> The anatomy of birds for flight</li> <li> The aerodynamics of bird flight</li> <li> Takeoff and Landing</li> <li> Gliding and Soaring</li> <li> Flapping Flight</li> <li> In-Flight Maneuvers</li> <li> Migration</li> <li> Flight Specialists (including Hummingbirds, Silent Owls, and Swifts).</li> </ul> But How Birds Fly is more than a scientific exploration; it's a celebration of the artistry of bird flight. Uncover the stories of flight pioneers like Leonardo da Vinci and the Wright Brothers, and how engineers still draw inspiration from birds for cutting-edge aircraft design. With this book, you can savor each chapter independently, enjoying stunning photographs and enlightening illustrations. In "From the Lab" sections, you'll dive into real research studies, gaining a taste of how ornithologists work. Flight is a dream embedded deep within our unconscious minds. Let Peter Cavanagh's expertise and passion for flight enhance your appreciation for the world of birds.

How Birds Fly

The twentieth anniversary edition of An-My Lê's acclaimed first book Small Wars, reissued with five new images and an afterword by Ocean Vuong.	For the past three decades, An-My Lê has used photography to examine her personal history and the legacies of US military power, probing the tension between experience and storytelling. 	First published in 2005, Small Wars brings together three interconnected series. In Viêt Nam, Lê returns to the country she left in her teens and attempts to reconcile memories of her childhood home with the contemporary landscape; in Small Wars, she engages a small community of Vietnam War reenactors; and in 29 Palms, she documents the preparations of marines in the California desert as they undergo training for conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan. Taken together, this trilogy brilliantly presents a complexly layered exploration of the issues surrounding landscape, memory, and the representation of violence and war. 	With great precision and clarity, Lê is able to evoke the work of nineteenth-century landscapes as well as that of the New Topographics--but by weaving in her own personal narrative of refuge and return, she pushes beyond both to produce a uniquely revelatory body of work. The twentieth anniversary edition of Small Wars is a lush reissue of the original, with five additional images and a new afterword by Ocean Vuong, who discusses how these bodies of work resonate twenty years later.

Using camera lenses made of Arctic ice, Tristan Duke's ongoing, experimental photographic project,&nbsp;Glacial&nbsp;Optics, explores our current moment of climate crisis. In the spring of 2022, artist Tristan Duke set sail for the Arctic Island of Svalbard, the fastest-warming place on the planet. His goal was to craft functioning camera lenses from the very ice of the glaciers. Through melting ice lenses, Duke captured portraits of an Arctic landscape in quiet turmoil. These ephemeral lenses became the foundation for a photographic series imagining the "gaze of the glazier" as a means of confronting the global climate emergency. On returning from the Arctic, Duke turned his ice-lens camera to document massive wildfires raging across the American West - bringing the melting glaciers to bear witness to the smoke and fire of the Anthropocene. Next, Duke traveled the country visiting labs where scientists study glacier ice for clues to better predict our climate future. By laying ice core samples directly on large sheets of photo paper, Duke created photograms, distilling the concept of the ice lens into formal studies of light moving through ice. Glacial Optics&nbsp;includes essays by Lucy R. Lippard, Mark Cheetham, William L. Fox, and Brandee Caoba, with a foreword from Michael Govan, as well as the artist's field notes and original research chronicling the unlikely history of ice lenses.

Lament&nbsp;connects the tangibility of history and the geography of memory in the American South. Through contemporary photographs, personal stories, essays, and quotes, Linda Foard Roberts's latest book connects the tangibility of history and the landscape (or geography) of memory to a greater understanding of the palpable presence of our shared past in everyday life.&nbsp;Roberts sees her photographic efforts as an ongoing contribution to truth-seeking by bearing witness to the silent stories encoded in our surroundings.&nbsp;Her work examines life, death, fundamental human rights, and excavations of narratives invisibly embedded in our lives.&nbsp;She has seen how such endeavors have the capacity to create opportunities for change, compassion, action, and justice.&nbsp;Lament&nbsp;is designed in two volumes housed in a cloth-covered slipcase. The first volume focuses on her images, while the second volume comprises a texts by renowned scholars and a poem.&nbsp;
For this project, Roberts employed Civil War-era equipment—an 8x10-inch view camera with a Darlot brass barrel lens—and visited sites across the American South where devastating events in social history took place. This use of historical equipment invokes the temporal merging she seeks to capture in her work—the overlap of the evidence of our past with the present.&nbsp;Lament&nbsp;is designed in two volumes housed in a cloth-covered slipcase. The first volume focuses on her images, while the second volume comprises texts by scholars Henry Louis Gates Jr., Ph.D., Cheryl Finley, Ph.D., Michelle Lanier, and Jennifer Sudul Edwards, Ph.D., and a poem by E. Ethelbert Miller.

Her second monograph with Radius, Victoria Sambunaris: Transformation of a Landscape shares the nuance and majesty of the artist’s practice in a large-scale book format.Based in New York, Victoria Sambunaris structures her life around a photographic journey traversing the American landscape for several months per year. Equipped with a 5×7-inch field camera, a video camera, and research material, she crosses the country alone tenting on top of her car. Her project-based photographs document the continuing transformation of the American landscape with specific attention given to expanding political, technological, and industrial interventions.Part of her ongoing, twenty-four-year series “Taxonomy of a Landscape,” this book encompasses the past decade of work, including collected ephemera that form the essential and incidental elements of her practice as a photographer and researcher. Also featured are archival documentation of experiences and observations on the road, such as snapshots, maps, road logs, journals, geology and history books, mineral specimens, and artifacts. The work of Victoria Sambunaris is held in numerous public collections across the United States, including the Denver Art Museum (CO), Los Angeles County Museum of Art (CA), Art Institute of Chicago (IL), International Center of Photography (NY), Center for Creative Photography (AZ), Buffalo AKG Museum (NY), San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (CA), Museum of Modern Art (NY), National Museum of Women in the Arts (DC), Brigham Young University Museum of Art (UT), Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (VA), Museum of Fine Arts Houston (TX), Nelson-Atkins Museum (MO), and National Gallery of Art (DC).
