The first amateur motion picture camera was massively produced in 1923, shortly after the introduction of 9,5 mm film by the Pathé Frères in France 101 years ago, in December 1922, and of 16 mm film by the Eastman Kodak Company in America a month later. The present collection depicts 101 movie cameras manufactured between the 1920s and the 1980s, most using 8 mm perforated celluloid film. A full-page 'portrait' of each model is accompanied by an exposé of its main technical specifications on the facing page. The guided tour leafs through a range of makes and companies from an era when novelty, aesthetics, industrial design, and competition for the commercial home market propelled the creation of sculptures out of metal and glass for the wide use by individuals and families who aspired to preserve their visual impressions in motion. The book is a useful source for hobbyists and collectors.

Sebastião Salgados Fotobuch-Klassiker Arbeiter. Zur Archäologie des Industriezeitalters (Erstausgabe 1993) würdigt die traditionellen handwerklichen Arbeitsweisen, während zu Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends überall in der Welt Maschinen und Computer die Arbeit der Menschen übernehmen. Mit Bildern von beeindruckender Schönheit hat Salgado eine visuelle Elegie komponiert, mit der er jene Männer und Frauen ehrt, die sich ihren unbeugsamen Geist und ihre Würde selbst unter härtesten Arbeitsbedingungen bewahren. Mehr als bei jedem anderen lebenden Fotografen sind bei Sebastião Salgado die Bilder von den Vergessenen, den Elenden und den Ausgegrenzten der Welt eine Hommage an die conditio humana. Salgado definiert seine Arbeit als "kämpferische Fotografie", die dem "besseren Verständnis des Menschseins" gewidmet ist. Über Jahrzehnte hinweg hat er in seinen Fotografien den Armen und Entrechteten etwas von der Menschenwürde zurückgegeben, die sie zu verlieren drohten - von den Hungernden in der Sahelzone bis zu den indigenen Völkern Südamerikas. Mit dem Band Arbeiter legt Salgado ein globales Bildepos vor, das über das bloße Abbilden hinausgeht und zu einer Hymne auf den Widerstandsgeist arbeitender Männer und Frauen wird. 350 Duoton-Fotografien eröffnen eine archäologische Perspektive auf diejenigen Tätigkeiten, die von der Steinzeit über die industrielle Revolution bis in unsere Gegenwart als Inbegriff harter Arbeit gelten. Mit Bildern aus dem Inferno einer indonesischen Schwefelmine, von der Dramatik des traditionellen sizilianischen Thunfischfangs und der schwindelerregenden Ausdauer brasilianischer Goldgräber legt Salgado Schichten visueller Informationen frei, um die unermüdliche menschliche Arbeit als Kern der modernen Zivilisation zu enthüllen. Arbeiter präsentiert sein Thema auf mehreren sich gegenseitig durchdringenden Ebenen: Salgados einleitender Text, entstanden in Zusammenarbeit mit dem brasilianischen Schriftsteller Eric Nepomuceno, erläutert seine leidenschaftliche fotografische Ikonografie. Ausführliche Bildunterschriften, die ebenfalls von Salgado stammen, liefern den historischen und faktischen Hintergrund. Das Buch ist eine von Offenheit und Respekt getragene Hommage an diejenigen Menschen, die mit ihren eigenen Händen, mit der Kraft ihres eigenen Körpers arbeiten.

The Manhattan skyline has always held a unique allure in the world's imagination. At street level the scale of the city is dynamic and shifting, from towering skyscrapers to intimate pocket parks and older side streets. At a certain distance, the outline of the city is revealed.

For more than 80 years, Glamour has been the preeminent women's empowerment brand in America. But until now, no one has told the extraordinary story of its origins and the famous names who helped shape the magazine into the global powerhouse it is today, and Glamour's many historic firsts. Glamour was the first American fashion magazine to feature a Black cover star, the first to present Gloria Steinem's writing, and the first to feature groundbreaking reporting on reproductive rights

Did you know that flying fish sometimes fly with seagulls? That Moon Dogs sometimes hunt on Earth? That grasshoppers have been on the planet for 350 million years? That assassin bugs carry switchblades? That clumps of jellyfish can fly? That demons live among us? That the Flash and his wife zip through the area? Do you know how to tell fact from exaggeration from falsehood? This book contains some of Calvin Hight Allen's favorite photographs with whimsical captions. The photographs, taken by the author and some of his friends in the "Old Men with Cameras" photo club, are as unique as they are stunning; the captions, as penetrating as they are clever. They cover an amazing variety of subjects from local barns to far-flung galaxies. Wide-ranging in imagination and steeped in erudition, the captions sparkle with sometimes ironic, iconoclastic, irreverent, and unconventional humor interspersed with tenderness, empathy, and appreciation in capturing the essence of human nature.

Der Fotograf Michael Disqué und der Autor Roman Ehrlich reisten für ihr drittes gemeinsames Buch in die Wüste Tabernas in Andalusien. Sie fanden dort Wild West-Erlebnisdörfer und die Ruinen alter Filmsets vor, die Regisseure wie Sergio Leone für die Inszenierung ihrer Westernfilme in der spanischen Provinz errichten ließen. Weil die eigene Geschichte der Tabernaswüste kaum sichtbare Spuren im Sand zwischen den Sträuchern hinterlassen hat, eignet sie sich besonders, um in ihr andere Geschichten, historische Ereignisse, Ausgedachtes und Angedichtetes zu inszenieren.   Die Ruinen von Exodus enthält fotografische Arbeiten von Disqué, die sowohl den visuellen Eindruck dieser Landschaft abbilden, als auch dabei helfen, durch Collageverfahren die Effekte der Filme und die tatsächliche Geschichte der Tabernaswüste darzustellen. Ehrlichs Texte untersuchen die Verbindungen der in der Wüste realisierten Filmproduktionen mit der realen Landschaft.  Die Ruinen von Exodus ist ein teilnehmendes Beobachtungsprojekt der beiden Künstler und darüber hinaus der Versuch, die lichtsüchtige Industrie des Films und die unterbelichtete eigene Geschichte dieser kargen Landschaft gemeinsam auf die Bühne eines Buches zu bringen. Disqué und Ehrlich sind als Schauende und Lesende in die Wüste hineingegangen und haben einen Sack voll rostiger Dosen mit nach Hause und eine Vielzahl von Zeichen, Bildern und Erzählungen aufs Papier gebracht.     Landscape as Canvas. Ruins of the Movie Industry and an Attempt to Come Face to Face with a Place.  For their third joint book project, the photographer Michael Disqué and the writer Roman Ehrlich traveled to the Tabernas desert in Andalusia, where they encountered Wild West theme parks and the ruins of old film sets that directors like Sergio Leone had erected in the Spanish hinterland for productions of their Westerns. The Tabernas desert's own history has left few visible traces in the sand between the shrubs, making it an ideal blank canvas for the staging of other stories, historic events, fictions and fabrications.  Die Ruinen von Exodus (The Ruins of Exodus) contains photographic works by Disqué that capture visual impressions of the scenery while using techniques of collage to convey the dizzying effects of interference between the films and the actual history of the Tabernas desert. Ehrlich's writings probe the connections between the film productions realized in the desert and the real landscape and trace the manifold projections back to the origins of their imagery.  The two artists' most recent venture in participant observation, Die Ruinen von Exodus is also an attempt to bring out the movie industry with its addiction to glaring light on the stage of a book together with the austere landscape's underexposed own history. Disqué and Ehrlich went out into the desert as spectators and readers and returned with a bag of rusty cans and a multitude of signifiers, images, and stories rendered in these page

Für den denkenden Menschen gilt das Gehen als eine der förderlichsten Bewegungs- formen. Es ist ein Akt der Selbstsorge, der die Gedanken anregt und das Bewusstsein erweitert. Zu dieser Erkenntnis gelangten bereits die Philosophen und Dichter der Antike. Verdrängt von der Zeit des Christentums wird das Gehen als Selbstsorge erst seit der Renaissance wieder philosophisch betrachtet. Rousseau gelangt auf einem Fußmarsch zu seiner "Erleuchtung von Vincennes", Hölderlin zieht identitätsstiftende Kraft aus seinen Wanderungen, Robert Walser sieht in Spaziergängen eine essentielle Inspirationsquelle für jeden Poeten, Journalisten oder Philosophen. Walter Arnold begibt sich auf die Pfade bekennender Wanderer und Spaziergänger, folgt ihren gedanklichen Reisen und zeigt, wie das Gehen einen Beitrag zu unserem Glück leisten kann

The third issue of Solomiya is as desperate as it is full of love, beauty, courage, and an unsettling longing for "a journey, an escape, and freedom," as Yevhen, a young soldier from Odesa, puts it in War Dreams, a poignant series of portraits by Italian photographers Caimi&Piccini. While raising thought-provoking questions about masculinity in war through the recent work of Vsevolod Kazarin, Alex Mashtaler's yet unpublished photographs juxtapose the innocence of youth with the unforgiving harshness of reality - a reality shaped by Ukraine's colonial past and a present challenged by ongoing militarization. In interviews with the Solomiya Editors Andrii Ushytskyi, Ivanna Kozachenko and Sebastian Wells, Asia Bazdyrieva, Maxim Dondyuk, and Henrike Naumann further explore these complexities through their own perspectives and artistic practices. While Ivanna Kozachenko and the artist collective Commercial Public Art dissect the spatial strategies of the architecture built by Russian forces in the occupied territories of Ukraine, the writings of Lucy Zoria and Sebastian Wells offer diverse insights into the lived experiences of young Ukrainians abroad.

In this book, Hong Kong is seen as a labyrinth, a postmodern site of capitalist desires, and a panoptic space both homely and unhomely. The author maps out various specific locations of the city through the intertwined disciplines of street photography, autoethnography and psychogeography. By meandering through the urban landscape and taking street photographs, this form of practice is open to the various metaphors, atmospheres and visual discourses offered up by the street scenes. The result is a practice-led research project informed by both documentary and creative writing that seeks to articulate thinking via the process of art-making. As a research project on the affective mapping of places in the city, the book examines what Hong Kong is, as thought and felt by the person on the street. It explores the everyday experiences afforded by the city through the figure of the flâneur wandering in shopping districts and street markets. Through hisown street photographs and drawing from the writings of Byung-Chul Han, Walter Benjamin and Michel de Certeau, the author explores feelings, affects, and states of mind as he explores the city and its social life.
