Paolo Ventura: Winter Stories
ISBN: 9781597111256 / Angielski / Twarda / 119 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this luxuriously produced limited edition, Paolo Ventura invents an imaginative series of photographs depicting scenes from the memory banks of an old circus performer as he looks back on his life. What the performer revisits are not moments of great drama, but rather fleetingly recalled glimpses of an everyday life, "images that he had thought to have never seen, quick moments he unknowingly observed as he raised his eyes to the clock hung at the corner of the block." Using his own childhood memories, beautiful miniature figures and sophisticated sets, Ventura re-envisions a simpler time...

The Cubans
ISBN: 9780984243204 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Asked to conjure an image of Cuba, most Americans see a country of elegant, crumbling buildings and old American cars. While it takes less than twenty-five minutes to fly from Miami to Havana, the United States and its island neighbor have been mired in hostility and distrust since the Castro Revolution ousted the American-backed puppet Batista fifty years ago. Shared family connections have allowed both Americans and Cubans to separate the governments of each country from its people, but there is still misunderstanding on both sides. Photographs that purport to represent Cuba and... Asked to conjure an image of Cuba, most Americans see a country of elegant, crumbling buildings and old American cars.

Without a Roof: Portraits of the Homeless is a visceral and compelling book featuring 28 photographs by Eugene Rosenthal with text by Maya Dreamwalker. Painted with an impressionistic, stream-of-consciousness word brush, this book does not purport to be a textbook on the subject, yet it captures many of the thoughts and questions that have been raised about homelessness.

Invisible No More: A Photographic Chronicle of the Lives of People with Intellectual Disabilities
ISBN: 9780813547688 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For too long people with intellectual disabilities have been shut out of most societies around the world, or more accurately, they have been shut in--forcibly confined in mental institutions, quietly hidden inside their families' homes, isolated from public view as much as possible, and prevented from achieving the full potential that any human being inherently enjoys. Invisible No More rights this wrong. Renowned photographer Vincenzo Pietropaolo presents a moving photographic chronicle-- a celebration--filled with more than one hundred dynamic images and thirty evocative stories of people...

Richard Misrach: Destroy This Memory
ISBN: 9781597111638 / Angielski / Twarda / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The photographs in Richard Misrach's Destroy This Memory are a stark, affecting reminder of the physical and psychological impact of Hurricane Katrina as told by those on the ground, and seen through the lens of a contemporary master. Rather than simply surveying the damage, Misrach--who has photographed the region regularly since the 1970s, most notably for his ongoing Cancer Alley project--found himself drawn to the hurricane-inspired graffiti: messages scrawled in spray paint, crayons, chalk or whatever materials residents and rescue workers happened to have on hand. At turns...

Images to read: Imágenes para leer
ISBN: 9781453633182 / Angielski / Miękka / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 36 photographs in this book, by Eduardo Machuca, show a sample of Armando Alanis' street poetry work in the city of Monterrey, Mexico. Armando has been painting unused street walls with white and then writing with black paint, short poetic messages that capture the attention and imagination of drivers and pedestrians alike. His work is, however, ephemeral. Walls get painted over by someone else to announce something else. This endeavour is now close to its 15th year, in which Armando has painted close to 5,000 walls. Walls' poems text translated into English.

Michael Wesely: Time Works
ISBN: 9783829605137 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. It is common belief that a good photographer has to take sharp pictures. Michael Wesely, however, demonstrates just the opposite. Among the many variables, which the photographic process allows to manipulate, he is obsessed with only one: the exposure time of the shutter, practiced to the extreme. Some photographers work with exposure times of several seconds, but days, weeks, months, even years? They are Michael Wesely s domain and he tries them with all photographic subjects: portraiture, landscapes, still lives, plants, and buildings. Thus it seems only natural that sunrises and sunsets,...
