Bedrooms of the Fallen
Author: Ashley Gilbertson
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022613511X
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
For more than a decade, the United States has been fighting wars so far from the public eye as to risk being forgotten, the struggles and sacrifices of its volunteer soldiers almost ignored. Photographer and writer Ashley Gilbertson has been working to prevent that. His dramatic photographs of the Iraq war for the New York Times and his book Whiskey Tango Foxtrot took readers into the mayhem of Baghdad, Ramadi, Samarra, and Fallujah. But with Bedrooms of the Fallen, Gilbertson reminds us that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have also reached deep into homes far from the noise of battle, down quiet streets and country roads—the homes of family and friends who bear their grief out of view. The book’s wide-format black-and-white images depict the bedrooms of forty fallen soldiers—the equivalent of a single platoon—from the United States, Canada, and several European nations. Left intact by families of the deceased, the bedrooms are a heartbreaking reminder of lives cut short: we see high school diplomas and pictures from prom, sports medals and souvenirs, and markers of the idealism that carried them to war, like images of the Twin Towers and Osama Bin Laden. A moving essay by Gilbertson describes his encounters with the families who preserve these private memorials to their loved ones, and shares what he has learned from them about war and loss. Bedrooms of the Fallen is a masterpiece of documentary photography, and an unforgettable reckoning with the human cost of war.

Book Description
"On Consciousness", includes both books "I, energy" and "MPower the Shaman" in their revised version. "Gonzalo B�nard's work offers an antidote to materialist ideology", Graham Hancock"Gonzalo B�nard's teachings are an antidote to the consumerism that the Western World offers. And that his knowledge on consciousness derives from direct, sensory experience is something that mainstream science cannot comprehend, nor compete with." Holly Lasko at Graham Hancock's AoM December 2016The author went through 3 days of brain death to come back to life. He lived 3 years in Himalayas learning with old shamans and Buddhist masters, and spent some time in Africa with shamans and healers. Since a very young age he accepted and understood that he had open channels of energy; that he could use the energetic channels to heal himself and others. And that you can also open your channels to the Cosmic Consciousness. In this book B�nard tells you how to heal, yourself and others, and how to be connected with your higher self, sharing his own journeys and experiences. B�nard, a shaman himself following the Tibetan Bon tradition, explains all this in a simpler manner, and how the daily practice of meditation can make your life much more simple than it is. How you should listen and feel for a better life on Earth connected to the Universe. Living in the now: feeling one with the whole. Connected. Being energy on the same wave of frequency as the Earth. Being yourself a Shaman and a Totem, guiding your own, connected to the collective and cosmic consciousness.

Pages : 44
Book Description
WASHDAY AT THE PA, by New Zealand premier photographers Ans Westra, was first published as a photo-story booklet in 1964 by the Department of Education for use in Primary Schools, but all 38,000 copies were withdrawn following a campaign by the Maori Women's Welfare League that it would have a 'detrimental effect' on Maori people - and that the living conditions portrayed within the book were atypical. A second edition of the booklet was published the same years with some images omitted. This edition is a selection of these two editions together with photographs of the washday family taken in 1988, and includes essays by arts critic, journalist and broadcaster Mark Amery detailing the controversy and background of WASHDAY AT THE PA.

Category : Interior architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Contrasting ultramodernist photographs taken over a thirty-year period constitute the first book by one of the most celebrated photographers working today. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1963, and first coming into prominence in the early 1990s with his iconic photographs of Donald Judd’s works and architecture, Todd Eberle’s photographs document the disparate images that make up American architecture, landscapes, and society and are united by a minimalist aesthetic that runs through his work. Whether his approach to a particular subject is earnest (an unfurling flag) or kitsch (the Vegas strip), Eberle brings to his photographs a heightened sense of precision, symmetry, and proportion. The Empire of Space is a lavish look at Eberle’s career and features many rare and never-before-published portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and interiors. In the spirit of Walker Evans, Eberle creates an enduring and poetic portrait of America, the arts, and architecture through thoughtfully contrasting and analogous photographs. This exciting and definitive book on Eberle’s illustrious legacy is sure to rank among the most important publications to mix modernism, minimalism, and photography.
