Students of the Civil War know Franklin, Tennessee, for the major
battle that happened here, but there is a lot more to the story. In
fact, Main Street in Franklin is a glimpse into 250 years of
history. Within a few blocks surrounding the public square, some of
the city's original buildings now house the newest and most popular
shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues in Middle Tennessee.
Franklin has been a center for agriculture and manufacturing. It is
a place where families can enjoy small-town life on the interstate.
It is home to a college. It has always been the seat of Williamson
County. Franklin's small businesses have a habit of sticking around
for decades, often passing through generations of the same family.
Franklin is as quaint and picturesque as it is exciting and
progressive, because it continues to attract the kind of people who
have always made it that way.

In the 1830s, a small community known as El Fronton de Santa
Isabel set roots on the banks of the Laguna Madre Bay. Official
claim for the land was granted to Don Rafael Garcia as part of the
Potrero ("Pasture") de Santa Isabel in 1828. Less than two decades
later, Point Isabel was home to Zachary Taylor's Fort Polk and
found itself a home base during the Mexican-American War. In 1853,
construction was completed on the Point Isabel lighthouse, a
navigational beacon with a 16-mile view. Port Isabel was
incorporated in 1928, and a deep-water port shipped its first
commercial load in 1937. By the 1950s, Port Isabel was the
"Shrimping Capital of the World," and the first Queen Isabella
Causeway connected South Padre Island to the mainland. Port Isabel
continues to deepen its roots on the banks of the Laguna Madre Bay.
Heritage and cultural tourism, a relaxed quality of life, and an
appreciation for all things coastal are synonymous with Port
Isabel.
A new edition of a modern classic of photography. Martin Parr is
Europe's premier contemporary photographer, and "The Last Resort"
is the book that is considered to have launched his career. Taken
at the height of the Thatcher years, it depicts the "great British
seaside" in all its garish glory. Described by some as cruel and
voyeuristic and by others as a stunning satire on the state of
Britain, early editions are now much sought after by collectors
worldwide. Includes a new essay by Gerry Badger, photographer,
architect, curator, and critic.
Serena Fass has attempted to illustrate Jesus' Great Commission:
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Whoever believes and is baptised will be saved." (Mark 16: 15 - 16)
and has presented a balance between the many different strands of
the Christian faith, for each century, from the earliest Christians
in Pompeii until today, and criss-crossing the globe from North to
South: from Norway to Mozambique - and West to East: from Peru to
Australia. Categories include architecture, painting, sculpture,
ivories, textiles, metalwork, jewellery and portraits of people
wearing crosses, as well as examples of the cross in nature.

On April 22, 1889, the federal government opened the unassigned
lands in central Oklahoma for settlement. Entrepreneurs, cattlemen,
and farmers, all seeking new opportunities, anxiously staked their
claim to town lots and 160-acre homesteads. From their tents on
Norman's Main Street, businessmen started to sell their wares.
Tents soon gave way to wooden shacks and, finally, two-story brick
buildings. By the beginning of the 20th century, Norman was a
bustling frontier town that quickly matured into a trade center, a
county seat, and a university town. In the 1940s, Norman became the
home of the Naval Air Technical Training Center, a naval base
constructed to train navy pilots and ground support crews for World
War II.
Recognised as one of the UK's most important photographers of the
last forty years, Brian Griffin grew up near Birmingham amongst the
factories of the Black Country. His parents were factory workers
and from birth Griffin seemed set to follow in their footsteps. And
so, on leaving school at the age 16, he began working in a factory,
just like everyone else around him. A year later he moved to
British Steel working as a trainee pipework engineering estimator
in a job that involved costing systems for the nuclear power
stations that were then being built. He remained there four years
before escaping the tedium of the office by enrolling to study
photography at Manchester College of Art. Griffin has exhibited and
published widely. In 1989 he had a one-man show at the National
Portrait Gallery, London. The same year The Guardian newspaper
selected him as 'The Photographer of the Decade' and LIFE magazine
used his photograph 'A Broken Frame' as the covershot for their
feature 'Greatest Photographs of the Eighties'. During the 1990s
Brian Griffin retired from photography and focused on directing
advertising, pop videos and short films. He returned to photography
in 2001, reestablishing himself once again at the pinacle of
British Photography.
