Other Realities [Hardcover]

When I was a photo student in the mid 70's, my teacher dutifully put several of us in his car and took us to our first real art show and artist's talk. Fortunately for me, the artist was Jerry Uelsmann. He continues to inform the current generation of students and working artists alike. His work is other-worldly in both a technical and in a conceptual sense- you will be wowed on several fronts.

This book contains recent and early work- the sensibility running through the decades is distinctly Uelsmann. Early or late, the work is masterful. Fortunately, it's a large book so you get to see these images in a scale similar to actual prints.

You need a Jerry Uelsmann book in your library and this is a great volume.

Touch [Hardcover]

It takes a uniquely talented, seasoned master of photography like Jeff Palmer to convey a sense that is generally best experienced in person and translate it so meaningfully to another sense entirely.

In this book, the tactile experience of caresses, rubs, embraces and more is eloquently captured, evoking the emotions associated with these physical sensations in an almost inevitable way: the rush of feeling when a loved one brushes you as he walks by, the light touch of a supportive hand on the back of your neck, and yes - the pleasures found by self-touch.

Jeff Palmer's beloved black and white is anything but cold and unemotional, thriving without warm color by the intense heat of physical closeness. Like the light frisson that often accompanies an intimate stroke of a finger, these images will surprise you with their quiet yet potent sensuality.

Product Description

Jeff Palmer grew up in Palm Springs, California where he discovered his love for the ocean, the sun and suntanned bodies. For the first twelve years after attending college he worked as an acting instructor and learned how to sculpt the human body with light. Fourteen years ago he started taking photographs of men and in the meantime is one of the most respected male nude photographers in the USA.

Susan Burnstine: Within Shadows [Hardcover]

It's about time that Susan Burnstine's evocative and otherworldy images, created by her own handmade cameras, come together as a monograph. The book is a compilation of a decade of work, combining a variety of projects and resulting in a sublime journey through our dreams and subconscious. Her compelling and mysterious story telling lead the viewer into the recesses of our memories, where the familiar meets the ethereal, as if her camera allows her to pass through to another plane of seeing.

This is a special book, not only for the photography lover, but also for those who are interested in exploring the psychological and hallucinatory quality of images that challenge our imagination. Complimenting the photographs are essays by George Slade and Susan Spiritus and an interview by Russell Joslin, editor of SHOTS Magazine.

Paris Changing: Revisiting Eugene Atget's Paris [Hardcover]

Last summer I saw the Atget exhibit at the Bibliotheque Nationale, which was a marvelous passage through a lost time. This book matches some of those absorbing old photos with photos of the same location taken today. I think it's a fascinating book and I can lose myself in the nuances while comparing the photos. This pasttime may not be to everyone's taste, but I highly recommend the book to thoughtful people who enjoy looking at things.

Product Description

Cristina Garcia Rodero is a discrete photographer. I follow her work since more than 30 years, but she has not got the place that she deserves in the photograpy history, she should be world famous. Her pictures are alwas very beautiful, with an incredible sense for details and composition. Besides, this book produced in Spain is excellent in all points of view. Photography, lay-out, printing, paper, really everything is perfect. You should own this book, before it is out of print.
