Engels/ Beth Dunlop, et al, Hans
Havana: The Photography of Hans Engels
NY: Prestel 1999. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 104 pages. Ever since Fidel Castro came to power as the leader of Cuba's communist regime in 1959 Havana has remained all but impenetrable to the outside world. The revolution cut Cuba off from the West but at the same time preserved a century of built substance and style through the accident of fmancial stagnation. Without capital investment time stood still and five epochs of architectural style have survived to the present day. From the majesty of colonial city palaces to the half-hearted hope of heroic modernism Engels' photographs show a city in silent transition a microcosm of architecture through the ages. All of the structures picttired here were built in the twentieth century but for the most part they have suffered from neglect in the form of peeling paint and stucco &M grime and abandonment. Yet there is utter beauty and dignity here-a sense of being trapped in time-that is no longer evident in America's everchanging cities. Like the structures he photographs Engels uses a timeless approach to the artistic and technical aspect of his work. He uses a Sinar catnera with a 4 x 5 inch format standing under a darkening cloth just as photographers did a century ago. Using a Polaroid image to feel and see the light Engels takes a single shot of each building. Most of these images were taken during die month of February in 1997 and 1999 respectively. These photographs of apartment dwellings office buildings private residences and places of worship tell a story on their own. Their haunting images seem to speak about more than just the men who made them or the materials they are made of. The buildings and streetscapes depicted in Havana speak to us of yesterday today and tomorrow. Record # 351220 Prestel hardcover

Cassidy, Kyle
Armed America: Portraits of Gun Owners in Their Homes
Krause Publications 2007. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover 208 pages. As the 2004 Presidential Election was beginning to take shape Kyle Cassidy took note of the important role the simple concept of gun ownership was playing. Hardly anyone he knew didn't have an opinion in the debate over owning guns. Why was a constitutionally protected right so heavily debated and who exactly as these folks that own guns "I began to wonder who these seventy or so million Americans were how they lived and what was important to them. I set out to photographs as many gun owners as I could and ask them one question: "Why do you own a gun." Cassidy traveled over 20000 miles crisscrossing the country to meet with gun owners in their homes. Cassidy's photo essays create a powerful thought provoking and sometimes startling view of gun ownership in the U.S. These "everyman" portraits and the accompanying views of gun owners fashion a riveting and provocative book.

James Moore: Photographs 1962-2006
Bologna: Damiani 2017. 1st. Very Good/None. Hardcover 280 pages. American fashion photographer James Moore 1936–2006 was an influential voice in mid-20th-century fashion photography working for Harper’s Bazaar during its 1960s heyday under the leadership of legendary editor Carmel Snow. Shooting languid mod gamines and luxe bohemians in arresting often surreal or cinematic compositions Moore helped shape the visual vocabulary of ‘60s fashion alongside better-known colleagues such as art director Alexey Brodovitch under whom Moore studied. Moore also directed television commercials and contributed photographs to European magazines in the 1980s and 1990s and taught photography at the School of Visual Arts New York and the Rochester Institute of Technology.Every Moore photograph is an intricate exploration of space and beauty with an attention to detail that betrays the photographer’s peerless eye. Something of a “photographer’s photographer†Moore influenced the next generation of great fashion photographers but has been somewhat neglected in histories of 1960s fashion and culture--until now. James Moore: Photographs 1962-2006 collects a half century of extraordinary photographs by Moore the first time his work has been collected in a single monograph. Including texts from the leading editors models photographers and designers of the day this volume takes stock of James Moore’s astounding career and an extraordinary cultural moment.

Once locked away in European archives these early modernist photographs of America rival those of Steichen and Evans. Emil Otto Hoppe was born in Munich in 1878 but lived in London from 1900 until his death in 1972. He was an early and important modernist whose seminal views of the United States in the 1920s rival those of his peers: Paul Strand Edward Steichen Alfred Stieglitz and Walker Evans. His work shows us an America as only an outsider could: brave new and grand in scale but with a hint of trouble brewing in the gaps between its multicultural and economic diversities.

Approaching Nowhere: Photographs
NY: W. W. Norton & Company 2006. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. Like many who grew up during the spread of sprawl--with its predictable landscape of housing developments shopping malls interstate highways and big-box construction--acclaimed photographer Jeff Brouws is drawn to places that still embody the vernacular past as well as to those that starkly portray the soulless franchised American landscape. What began as cultural geography of Main Streets became a visual critique of the myth of upward mobility that created this car-centered paved-over universe. Some images look outward to the edges of suburbia where sprawl is encroaching upon nature. Others turn inward documenting the devastated inner cities. All the stunning color photographs reflect the complex beauty and desolation of visual life in our time. 100 color photographs. Record # 351767 W. W. Norton & Company hardcover

Approaching Nowhere: Photographs
New York : W. W. Norton & Company 2006. 1st. Hardcover. Hardcover in a bright dust jacket. Like many who grew up during the spread of sprawl--with its predictable landscape of housing developments shopping malls interstate highways and big-box construction--acclaimed photographer Jeff Brouws is drawn to places that still embody the vernacular past as well as to those that starkly portray the soulless franchised American landscape. What began as cultural geography of Main Streets became a visual critique of the myth of upward mobility that created this car-centered paved-over universe. Some images look outward to the edges of suburbia where sprawl is encroaching upon nature. Others turn inward documenting the devastated inner cities. All the stunning color photographs reflect the complex beauty and desolation of visual life in our time. 100 color photographs. Record # 351766 W. W. Norton & Company hardcover

Gustave Le Gray 1820-1884
Los Angeles: J. Paul Getty Museum 2002. 1st. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 416 pages profusely illustrated. After years of research this complete retrospective offers as no volume before it an assessment of Le Gray's important place in the history of photography.

He received commissions from Napoleon Ill and astonished viewers with his painterly landscapes and ravishing seascapes. Facing bankruptcy he feld Paris with Alexandre Dumas to Palermo travelled to the Middle East and finally settled in Egypt where he became drawing master to the ruler's children and continued to make photographs until his death in 1884. Le Gray's work had remained largely unknown by the general public until he was rediscovered in the 1960s. Record # 351888 J. Paul Getty Museum hardcover
