Please Please Return Polaroid is Miles Aldridge's ongoing love letter to Polaroid, a process once integral to the craft of many photographers but now more or less extinct, apart from the rare and out-of-date material traded on eBay for exorbitant prices. The sequel to Aldridge's Please Return Polaroid of 2016, this book presents new and vintage Polaroids from his more than 20-year archive in a seemingly random sequence shaped by a dreamlike logic and surprising juxtapositions.Please Please Return Polaroid explores Aldridge's dedication to analogue processes where cut-and-paste is still a manual process, made with scissors, gaffer tape, intuition and not a little patience. Aldridge continues to use Polaroids as part of his work-in-progress "sketches," often scratching, tearing and taping them together, even drawing over them; each mark part of the creative act. Known for creating immaculate photos of a less than perfect world, Aldridge revels in these unpolished images, transforming some into extreme enlargements filling double pages with their re-worked and damaged surfaces. Long live Polaroid!

Having lived in Southern California during his university years, Robert Adams returned to photograph the Los Angeles Basin in the late 1970s and early 1980s, concentrating on what was left of the citrus groves, eucalyptus and palm trees that once flourished in the area. The pictures, while foreboding, testify to a verdancy against the odds. Featuring sumptuous quadratone plates, this greatly expanded and revised edition of a title originally published in 1986 reinvigorates one of Adams' most influential and admired bodies of work.

An accessible introduction to the history and themes of photographic portraiture.

In his early years in Yosemite, Ansel Adams formed the habit of writing letters at every opportunity.

Being in our sixties now would have probably been the time to sit down, relax, maybe travel a little, and enjoy the rest of our lives in retirement, as our Mothers would have. But we're NOT our mothers' Sixties! We have lived, loved, laughed, cried, succeeded, failed, gotten back up again, and we're still here! Whether we have married, divorced, been widowed, or single, we have raised our children, started our businesses, advanced in our careers, or just started over. Now is the time to tell our stories! We are the new 40s and 50s, just born a little sooner. Our lives are just beginning. We're starting over - in more ways than one. So, what does being sixty-ish look and feel like? I've been told that I don't look my age, and certainly don't act any differently. When I looked around me, I was in awe at my beautiful sisters in their sixties who have inspired me. I wanted to highlight Phenomenal women in this age group to give others approaching this milestone something to look forward to and to be proud of. I wanted to collaborate with them to tell their stories in this full color, coffee table book that could be passed on for generations to come. It is our time to shine! The idea of this Anthology book started with a few simple questions: Are you in your sixties, but everyone thinks you look much younger?Are you dynamic, successful, and living your passion?Do you have a story to tell that will inspire, motivate, and encourage other women?Do you have health and beauty secrets that are keeping you healthy and looking younger? With these questions in mind, I invited an array of amazing women to be a part of this project. Some of us are starting new relationships after being widowed, divorced, or just starting over. I, for one, have lost everything: My dream home, my business, my best friend, and eventually, my husband. I had to make a choice - either be swallowed up in a deep dark depression from a whirlwind of losses or decide to live the rest of my life to the fullest. I have chosen the latter. Why did I add the word "sexy" to the sixties? A lot of people would say that 'sexy' is about the body. But not me . . . I think that "sexy"' is a woman with confidence and power. Power is about loving yourself and having strength from within. So, even if you are not wearing a sexy outfit (that I put together), you still feel sexy. This book is written to encourage, inspire, and give women approaching, or already in this age group, something to look forward to. We are starting new careers, new businesses, finding love for the first, second, or third time, and enjoying life! We have made our mistakes and accomplishments and have learned from them all. Some of you will be astonished when I say that living never seemed so magnificent as it does now. In these pages, you will meet some Phenomenal, Confident and Beautiful Women in their Sixties, who will inspire you to be whatever you want to be, do whatever you want to do (legally), requiring permission from no one but yourself. Sexy Sixties is a state of mind, and that state of mind comes in all shapes and sizes. It is unique for every individual. You'll meet a doctor, a lawyer, speakers and writers, teachers and entrepreneurs, community leaders, sales executives and clergy, actors, singers, and models, all with one thing in common: We're Embracing Our Sexy Sixties!

Anyone who has ever laughed out loud at Max Kersting's brilliant combinations of word and image has immediately become a fan of his unique and original art. He lends new meaning to found photographs with his added speech and thought bubbles. The newly created word-image relationships are, in their sensitive way, as humorous as they are inimitably profound. This connection applies all the more to his new work, which could be called "purely graphic." Here, Kersting considers the "graphic" in its two meanings of drawing and writing, or symbol. Even Roland Barthes compared the flow of the fountain pen to the pressure of the ballpoint pen. Like brilliant emblems from Kersting's ballpoint pen, the texts are scratched across the paper in brief, marvelously unskilled handwriting, as well as across the existential ground upon which our daily lives occur.MAX KERSTING (*1983, Lippstadt) studied design in Düsseldorf and is an advertising copywriter in Berlin. He and his idiosyncratic style quickly became famous through his found, self-annotated photographs. Kersting lives in Berlin.

The Nature of Being is the sixth volume from the series of books about the Helsinki School. It concentrates on bringing together the various approaches used by the School's representatives to conceptualize nature visibly. The stated goal is not to limit oneself to purely physical depictions of animals, plants, and landscapes. Nature ought to be expressed through a di¿erent type of unit and with a new way of gauging time. Days, months, and seasons become the points of crystallization for time. Thus, the photographs reflect a Nordic sense about feelings of loneliness, jealousy, or desire. The works provide photographic insight into the complex horizon of emotions that characterize our individual views of nature. They do not portray landscape as such, but the world in which we live.Since the 1990s the name HELSINKI SCHOOL has been used to describe a group of fine art photographers who studied, taught, or graduated from the Aalto University's School of Art, Design and Architecture. The term unites a consistent conceptual approach.EXHIBITIONKunsthalle St. Annen, Lübeck, GermanyJanuary 26-April 26, 2020
