Looking for Asian America: An Ethnocentric Tour
ISBN: 9780816646722 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Looking for Asian America shows real people engaged in the full range of human activity. This is no small accomplishment for the photographer or his subjects. For Asian Americans it is extraordinary to be merely ordinary. To others, even if not to themselves, Asian Americans appear to be contradictions of identity--a Chinese-Yankee is a knockoff." --Frank H. Wu, from the Foreword
In search of contemporary Asian America, celebrated photographer Wing Young Huie--the only member of his family not born in China--traveled with his wife Tara through nearly forty states to...

Images of the Rust Belt
ISBN: 9780873386265 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the last 150 years, steel production played a vital role in the shaping of our nation. This was especially true in Youngstown, Ohio, a part of what is now often referred to as "the Rust Belt." In their prime, however, the Youngstown mills ran along 25 miles of the Mahoning River and employed tens of thousands of people. All of that changed in September 1977 when the LTV Corporation announced that it was closing its Youngstown Works. Youngstown today struggles for its survival. Higgins's photography places these decaying traces of the industrial landscape squarely amid the magnificence...

ISBN: 9780873515047 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Fat men's races and fall-out shelters, murder victims and loose women, cheerleaders and immigrants, celebrities and children in distress were just some of the urban curiosities splashed across the pages of city newspapers during the Speed Graphic era (1930s-1950s). Championed by acclaimed news photographers like Arthur Fellig (a.k.a. Weegee), the Speed Graphic camera produced a new visual style that was as blunt, powerful, and immediate as a left hook.
Driven by the desire to fill newspaper pages with sensational images, press photographers shot everything, day and night:... Fat men's races and fall-out shelters, murder victims and loose women, cheerleaders and immigrants, celebrities and children in distress were just som...

ISBN: 9780878056958 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For Birney Imes a decaying roadside tavern in rural Mississippi has proved to be a rich and enduring source of photographic images. Place and its aura have been Imes's special province, and when as a young man new to photography he first chanced upon Whispering Pines, he was beginning a personal and photographic relationship that would last twenty years. This is where he had his beginnings and, since the mid-1970s, where he has made frequent visits to explore this peculiar microcosm of backwoods America. "It was overwhelming, and it was irresistible," Imes writes. "The 'Eppie's Eats' sign out...
