A one-of-a-kind visual document of the crown jewel of Florida's spring system

"The Ichetucknee is Florida's sacred river, and no artist I know has captured its beauty more impressively than Steve Earl. This remarkable collection of images reflects real commitment and connection: a twenty-year testimonial born of water and blessed with soul."--John Moran, author/photographer of Journal of Light

"Steve Earl artistically celebrates one of Florida's most pristine rivers. . . . His artistic wisdom reflects nature in its purest, deepest, and most delicate form. He is...

The art of Willie Doherty (b. 1959), one of Northern Ireland's most important artists, joins history, memory, and language into an enveloping experience. This catalogue features two bodies of Doherty's work: Ghost Story, a tensely beautiful 15-minute media work based on landscape and memory, and a selection of photographs of the borderlands between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

Arising from the region's Troubles, Doherty's art is nonetheless universal in effect and can be seen independent of any specific context. Charles Wylie's essay deals with how...

Visit a Florida where sunburn is the result of honest, hard work--not an afternoon at the beach

"Without its lush ranchlands, there would be precious little left to see of old Florida, and nowhere for some of our most endangered wildlife to survive. Carlton Ward s colorful tribute to this dwindling frontier is also a call to save what remains of it. The alternative is unthinkable."--Carl Hiaasen

"Ward's masterful photographs go beyond pictures of cowboys and the Florida landscape to taste the life, feel the land, and appreciate the importance of the past, present, and...

U.S. Highway 66 was always different from other roads. During the decades it served American travelers, Route 66 became the subject of a world-famous novel, an Oscar-winning film, a hit song, and a long running television program. The 2,000 mile concrete slab also became a seven-year obsession for Susan Croce Kelly and Quinta Scott. They traveled Route 66, photographing buildings, knocking on doors, and interviewing the people who had built the buildings and run the businesses along the highway. Drawing on the oral tradition of those rural Americans who populated the edge of old Route 66,...

This is the second volume of the photo-comic, "tiny ghosts." tiny ghosts is a creepy, melancholy, sometimes depressing, sometimes darkly humorous, weekly, photo webcomic. It's maybe about what it feels like to be a monster or a ghost or a robot, but not the scary kind. It's about being frightened of war and what you might turn into when you grow up if you aren't careful. It's about loss and longing and love and hope and being small and scared of a big world and not knowing your place in it and wanting to belong but always being on the outside and not being sure that God loves you but...

The paintings, murals, and graphics of Ben Shahn (1898-1969) have made him one of the most heralded American artists of the twentieth century, but during the 1930s he was also among the nation's premier photographers. Much of his photographic work was sponsored by the New Deal's Farm Security Administration, where his colleagues included Dorothea Lange and Walker Evans.

"Ben Shahn's American Scene: Photographs, 1938" presents one hundred superb photographs from his most ambitious FSA project, a survey of small-town life in the Depression. John Raeburn's accompanying text illuminates the...

Over one hundred and twenty thousand British men and women live in New York City. Jason Bell, an Englishman himself living in New York, was inspired to look further--An Englishman in New York is the result.

The book features taxi drivers, cops, construction workers, divers, helicopter pilots, chefs, burlesque dancers, drug dealers, UN ambassadors, and even dog walkers. Jason was also struck by the significant influence that many Brits exercise on New York's cultural agenda, leading him to include amongst his subjects writer Zoe Heller, director Stephen Daldry, artists Cecily...

Edgar Martins was initially commissioned by The New York Times to photograph the fallout from the US subprime mortgage crisis. Extending the project, he photographed across the United States in eight separate states and across sixteen different locations. These carefully researched sites exposed the extent and impact of the crisis on the US construction industry. Approaching the project as a photographic intervention into a crisis, the resulting images go beyond pure formal investigation or documentation. His interest is in summoning a disquieting conjunction of realism and...

Some stories will tease the mind but they are all of a very true nature, some going back many years going back only a few. The names have been changed to protect the Guilty. The stories have not.

This book is a vivid recollection of the strange and often bizzare things that have happened over the years, some believable and some very hard to swallow but nonetheless true.

A few fascinating facts have been thrown in along the...

'East End' is a collection of photographs taken over the six year period from 2005 to 2011. With locations from Whitechapel to Walthamstow, Silvertown, Docklands, London Fields, Upton Park and Leytonstone, David Apps' images document East London's ever-changing skylines, street art and the early stencil work of Banksy, and the London 2012 Olympic site before and during its construction.

In this famed collection of full-color photographs, Birney Imes reveals a previously unexplored and now nearly vanished domain, the black juke joints of the Mississippi Delta. Imes's work transforms these common gathering places in Delta cultural life into something rich and strange.

The evocative Mississippi place names in Imes's photographs are as captivating as the names of the juke joints themselves: the Pink Pony in Darling, the People's Choice Cafe in Leland, Monkey's Place in Merigold, the Evening Star Lounge in Shaw, the Playboy Club in Louise, Juicy's Place in Marcella, the...
