    This introductory photography text teaches students how to use the medium confidently and effectively by emphasizing both technique and visual awareness.

    One of the first, and still one of the most beloved, photographic journals is the big and exuberant Diary of a Century. Juxtaposing family snapshots taken by Lartigue (many of them during his youth, but some from later in life) with texts from his daily journals, the boldly designed pages give new life to the belle époque of French history. Only seven years old when he started to photograph, Lartigue used his camera to record the happy times - the travels, hobbies, and pranks - of his wealthy, beautiful, and privileged family. Filled with the wit, openness, curiosity, and spontaneity of childhood, these dynamic images of early airplanes and fashionable women, pets and pools were literally taken out of the family albums and moved into the museum in the 1960s; exchanging their private life for a public one, they paved the way for younger photographers like Bea Nettles, Esther Parada, Deborah Willis, and Lorie Novak to focus on family imagery in their art.

    the great themesrevised edition

    This book consists of one hundred black and white photographs including his work from the legendary photography magazine Provoke. However, forty years after the publication of the original book, we have not as yet had the opportunity to examine (and enjoy) his works enough with the exception of a few photographs that has been repeatedly introduced on various occasions (this is particularly true in Europe and the U.S. where the history of contemporary Japanese photography remains less appreciated). Through radical self-critique, Nakahira would repudiate much of this early body of work in his 1973 essay, “Why an Illustrated Botanical Dictionary?” and considered it as something that must be overcome. Yet, for us to reconsider the meaning of the author’s rejection of his inaugural work, it is extremely valuable to know what the works themselves show. Has our history of photography finally caught up with Nakahira? The 2010 republication of For a Language to Come with a new cover design is an attempt to engage Nakahira’s photographic point of departure again in the present, to discover this work as one that is more vibrantly resonant today.For a deeper appreciation of his critical thought and practice, the supplement to the republication presents three essays written by Nakahira in the early 70s.Contains:-An introduction by Akihito Yasumi, “Trajectory of Nakahira Takuma: Situating the Republication of For a Language to Come.”-Three Essays by Takuma Nakahira:“Has Photography Been Able to Provoke Language?”“Rebellion Against the Landscape: Fire at the Limits of my Perpetual Gazing . . .”“Look at the City or, the Look from the City” (All translations by Franz K. Prichard)

    Before publishing this book, David Douglas Duncan was renowned for his photographs of the Vietnam War. In covering the Republican and Democratic conventions, Duncan used the same sensibilities, capturing the bloody conflict in Chicago and the bizarre carnival-like atmosphere of Miami Beach to great effect. Through his lenses, the tumult and pageantry of the 1968 political conventions are reborn.

Three thousand people set up camp for six weeks in a makeshift town that was dubbed Resurrection City, and participated in daily protests. Freedman lived in the encampment for its entire six weeks, photographing the residents, their daily lives, their protests and their eventual eviction.This new 50th-anniversary edition of the book reprints most of the pictures from the original publication, with improved printing and a more vivid design. Alongside Freedman’s hard-hitting original text, two introductory essays are included, by John Edwin Mason, historian of African history and the history of photography at the University of Virginia, and by Aaron Bryant, Curator of Photography at the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
