Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Real Photo Postcard Guide is an informative, comprehensive, and practical treatment of this wildly popular American phenomenon that dominated the United States photographic market during the first third of the twentieth century. Robert Bogdan and Todd Weseloh draw on extensive research and observation to address all aspects of the photo postcard from its history, origin, and cultural significance to practical matters like dating, purchasing, condition, and preservation. Illustrated with over 350 exceptional photo postcards taken from archives and private collections across the country, the scope of the Real Photo Postcard Guide spans technical considerations of production, characteristics of superior images, collecting categories, and methods of research for dating photo postcards and investigating their photographers. In a broader sense, the authors show how "real photo postcards" document the social history of America. From family outings and workplace awards to lynchings and natural disasters, every image captures a moment of American cultural history from the society that generated them. Bogdan and Weseloh’s book provides an admirable integration of informative text and compelling photographic illustrations. Collectors, archivists, photographers, photo historians, social scientists, and anyone interested in the visual documentation of America will find the Real Photo Postcard Guide indispensable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parisian archivist Hélène knows very little about her mother, Nathalie, who died when she was four. In the hope of learning more, she places a newspaper advert calling for information on Nathalie and two unknown men pictured with her at a tennis tournament in 1971. Against the odds, she receives a response from Stéphane, a Swiss biologist: his father is one of the people in the photo. More letters, and more photos, pass between them, in an attempt to unearth the truth their parents kept from them. But as they piece together events from the past, will they discover more than they can actually deal with? Winner of twenty-five literary awards, this dark yet moving drama deftly explores the themes of blame and forgiveness, identity and love.

This book was released on 2017-03-10 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an expanded, larger-format, and more highly illustrated version of a smaller book released by CEU Press in 2011. It presents and comments on an extensive set of religious and personal photographs and illustrations that depict people along with divine beings or absent loved ones. First, Christian examines the periodic appearances of Christ-like strangers in the Spanish countryside through the vision of a woman in La Mancha in 1931. Then he considers the long history of images with liquids on them not only for early modern Spain, but also in the United States, Italy and France in the 1940s and 1950s. The third and most extensive chapter addresses the iconography of illustrated depictions of divine and spirit beings in conjunction with humans and how its conventions were incorporated into commercial postcards and personal photographs, culminating in photo montages of families and their absent soldiers in World War I. The fourth theme is new to this edition. It compares the electric moments in Spanish communities when people ritually come into physical contact with saints and with animals, or transform themselves into saints or animals for ritual purposes. Over 50 of the color photographs by Spain's preeminent documentary photographer, Cristina García Rodero, are included.

Book excerpt: "With the dawn of the digital age, photography is more popular -- and indeed more affordable -- than ever. But a good camera doesn't necessarily make for a good photographer. This book contains 51 photography rules that will appeal to both the professional photographer and the enthusiastic amateur. Rules such as "Frame your image," "Freeze the action," "Never photograph people eating," "Crop well," and "Rule of thirds." Rules that to some are valuable words of wisdom, while others perceive them as ridiculous guidelines that need to be bended, twisted or broken altogether."--Back cover.

Book excerpt: Eve Arnold, a Magnum photographer since 1951 and revered by her peers and the latest creative generation in equal measure, has photographed many of the great, the famous and the powerful, ranging from politicians and actors to musicians, writers and artists.This survey of an extraordinary career includes not only engaging and intriguing photographs of big stars, many of whom became close friends, but also of everyday people at work and at play around the world. Interleaved throughout the book are five in-depth Photo Stories showing the access and trust Eve gained when covering subjects such as the plight of migrant workers in Long Island, on assignment with Malcolm X, and her landmark In China project. Brimming with images and contributions from friends, colleagues and luminaries, this book places Eve Arnold deservedly at the heart of the canon of photographic greats.
