Former professional sports journalist Sol Neelman is surely one of the most unusual sports photographers in America: he has a passion for offbeat sports people play in their spare time. His first book, Weird Sports (Kehrer Verlag, 2011), which sparked a worldwide media sensation, is now joined by this sequel, which brings us more whacky ideas and astounding photos to marvel at as people pursue sports such as Chuckwagon Racing, Lingerie Basketball, Bike Tossing, Frog Jumping, Color Running, Live Monster Wrestling, Forklift Bowling, Water Balloon Fighting, Cowboy Downhill, Barstool...

Across four decades, photographer Norman Seeff has created some of the most iconic portraits of the biggest names in music, art, and showbiz: Patti Smith, Ray Charles, Miles Davis, the Rolling Stones, Steve Jobs, Marc Bolan, Frank Zappa, and many more. Rock 'n' roll, blues, jazz, or new wave: his pictures burst with spontaneous vitality and give us deep insights into the culture of photography and music in the 1960s to the 1980s. In this first major monograph, we witness how Seeff captured artists on film, in their private surroundings, or at the studio.

For forty-five years, Jeffrey Silverthorne has been working steadily on an extensive body of work. With a background in the fine arts and the American photographic tradition, Silverthorne developed a photographic oeuvre that moves and balances between personal experiences, public spaces of presentation, and staged scenes.

His work is in the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Los Angeles County Museum; Yale University Art Gallery; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; George Eastman House, Rochester; and Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.

This book not only shows an overview of the artist's...

Myths and legends have often been inspired and shaped by geologic landforms and, similarly, British photographer David Parker uses the natural world as an arena for the personal exploration of new mythic, symbolic, and metaphoric motifs.

Myths and Landscape brings together images from Sirens and New Desert Myths, two larger projects created in parallel and sharing a common esthetic. For Parker, the siren song is a call to contemplation, and his pictures chart many fascinated encounters with an enchanted world of forgotten archetypes, further exploring the tension...

The Hereditary Estate functions as a ten-year retrospective and as a conceptual work of art. Daniel Coburn's work investigates the family photo album employed as the visual infrastructure for the flawed ideology of the American Dream. Frustrated by the lack of images that document the true and sometimes troubling nature of his own familial history, the photographer set out to create a new archive, a potent supplement to the broken family album that exists in many families.

Using photographs made over the last decade and altered, amateur photographs, he weaves a family...

You Are You documents an annual weekend summer camp for gender-nonconforming children and their families. This camp offers a temporary safe haven where children can freely express their interpretations of gender alongside their parents and siblings without feeling the need to look over their shoulders.

Through Lindsay Morris's sensitive images the viewer will experience an important moment in history where the first gender-creative childhood is being openly expressed with the support of friends and family. Morris reaches beyond the confines of the camp to contribute to a...

In her series Removals, Finnish photographer Maija Tammi looks at the most common diseases by showing their raw evidence just a few minutes after operations. A removed gallstone, a goiter in a kidney bowl, looking like rare gems. "People find them really visually pleasing when they don't know what's in the photo," Tammi says, "They sometimes change their mind when they find out."

In Leftover, "portraits" of used radiation therapy masks, collected from hospitals, deal with the fear of sickness; both defined and undefined.

The intriguingly designed double book...

Completed in 1974, Alaska's Dalton Highway is the northernmost road in America. At 414 miles, the predominantly dirt road follows the upper half of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, and is maintained exclusively as the transportation route for the oil fields at Prudhoe Bay. Alaskan photographer Ben Huff followed the road north for the first time in 2007, in search of the Alaskan frontier. He found a complex landscape--the physical and psychological line between wilderness and oil. For five years he traveled the road, and created a melancholy portrait of a space that asks us to reconsider our...

This is Serge Clement's first major retrospective, including forty years of work. The title DePaysE refers partly to the disorientation of one's living environment and in the mind. The universal cityscape surfaces as abstract multiple layers of asphalt, architecture, and streetlights. Like a journey into the heart of urban solitude and its periphery, Clement's work draws the viewer into an intimate relationship with the image. As the images accumulate, they create an imaginary density of timeless fragments.

Serge Clement has had solo exhibitions around the world and his...
