Launched in an era when speed and grandeur went hand in hand, the
RMS Queen Mary is the last survivor of the golden age of ocean
liners. From the time of her maiden voyage in 1936, passengers
crossed the North Atlantic cocooned in luxury. Movie stars,
tycoons, politicians, and royalty shared a ship with everyday
people, for whom this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. During
World War II, the Queen Mary ferried countless soldiers safely
across the sea and, at war's end, carried their brides and babies
home to America. Refurbished and polished to her previous glory,
the Queen Mary continued to carry passengers until her final voyage
to Long Beach in 1967. The RMS Queen Mary now serves as a floating
hotel and tourist attraction, a living testament to her glamorous
history, a generous showcase of art, and a magnificent example of a
time when oceans could be crossed in both comfort and beauty.
This book focuses on photography within the social research field,
building a solid foundation for photography as a social research
method and describing different techniques and applications of
photo research. It provides a comprehensive approach to research
photography, from preparation and the ethical considerations that
need to be understood prior to going into the field, to collecting
data, analysis and preparing research for publication. It also
introduces artistic genres of photography to help readers with the
choices they make when pursuing photographic research and as a
reminder that when collecting photographs that they are in fact
producing art. The ethical issues examined place a new focus on
dignity and considerations of participant anonymity and
recognition, informed consent, working with vulnerable groups,
unequal power relationships and possible intervention. Combining
preparation and ethics, it examines how best to collect and take
good photographs, and explores the practical issues of stigma and
introduces Verstaendnis (german: understanding) to aid researchers
in the field. Subsequently, the book discusses the different
photo-analytical approaches for researchers and provides examples
of how to analyse photographs using the different techniques.
Lastly, it offers guidelines, with examples, for researchers
wanting to publish their work.
Newcastle is England's most northerly city and shares a long
history with Gateshead, its neighbour on the south side of the
River Tyne. The two, city and town respectively, are a heady mix of
the old and new; both were industrial powerhouses during the 19th
Century that have successfully embraced recent change, reinventing
themselves as vibrant places of entertainment and culture. With
this book in hand, journey over and under the Tyne to discover
treasures such as the steam turbine ship Turbinia, a sleekly
streamlined example of north-eastern mechanical know-how; wander
across the wide-open space of the Town Moor, where President Jimmy
Carter has the right to graze cattle; take in Saltwell Towers, an
eccentric castle in the leafy surroundings of Saltwell Park; then
top it all off with a pint in a pub where the ghost of Charles I
may well make an appearance. Written by a Geordie, this book will
help you explore the quirkier side of both Newcastle and Gateshead,
and discover their hidden gems.
The Marina Bay Sand, the Changi Jewel and the fast-paced, high-rise
city are what immediately comes to one's mind about Singapore. This
is 'The Weekender's' first flight into the Asia Pacific region and
this issue will present Singapore in a different and more laid-back
perspective than you might be used to. However, it will still
showcase the iconic architecture and landmarks that juxtapose with
a melting pot of diverse heritages/cultures and remnants of the
city-state's colonial past. And at the same, this issue explores
the blurred boundaries between the old and the new, the hardscapes
and the softscapes. From starting the weekend with breakfast at a
local enclave, rich in history and culture, to wandering the
grounds of the UNESCO Heritage listed Botanical Gardens and then
ending the day sipping a cocktail along Keong Siak Road, a trendy
neighbourhood littered with eateries and bars, Matthew aspires for
the book to bring about a more local and intimate experience of
what the city-state has to offer for a weekend getaway or a
pit-stop to explore the rest of region. Whilst the flow of the book
will incorporate the weekend trajectory, the mixture of content
will mean that a reader is both influenced by Matthew's imagery of
the city, without explicitly having to follow a specific route but
allow them to adventure at will.
Louis, a self trained photorapher , grew up on a smallholding
north east of Pretoria in South Africa. Louis qualified in the
field of commerce and followed a corporate career in a large
financial services organisation . At the age of 40, Louis started
to take photography, his hobby for many years, more seriously.
He enrolled for varies courses and did a lot of self studying on
the subject. Louis discovered the value of photography as a
medium to communicate without words and how to paint
stories with light. He became passionate about photographing
remote landscapes, places and ordinary people. Over the last
20 years, Louis has participated in several solo and group
exhibitions. He exhibits permanently in Price Albert, his
hometown, and shares his passion for photography with others
during workshops .

Artemis: Her History and Rebirth After 20 years of publishing
Artemis, year 2000 marked more than the end of the 20th century and
the beginning of a new millennium. It also marked the end of a
respected and distinguished small press journal. Artemis was one of
the few publications in southwest Virginia to provide an off campus
literary and arts presence in our communities. After fourteen years
of retirement, 2013 began her journey back into publication. Today,
Artemis2014 has been reborn to celebrate and give voice to artists
and writers in the Blue Ridge Mountains and beyond. The origin of
Artemis is rooted in social activism, starting in 1977 as a writing
workshop for the T.A.P. Women's Center in Roanoke, Virginia. It's
founder, Jeri Nolan Rogers, encouraged women in the group to
express themselves through poetry and other art genres as a
therapeutic tool. For the first few years of publication, Artemis
showcased the work of women from this group. In 1979 the journal
expanded its scope to include men and the community art large.
Throughout its history, Artemis presented many educational and
cultural events: school mentorship programs, an annual Winter
Lights Festival, live readings at Hollins University and other
venues such as the Art Museum of Western Virginia, Mill Mountain
Theatre, the Blue Ridge Writer's Conference and more. Artemis was
also a place for many contributors to debut their work. They were
published side by side with national and state poet laureates, a
Pulitzer Prize nominee, a T.S. Eliot prize winner, VCA and VCCA
literary prize winners, an NAACP Image Award recipient, and
numerous other award winners. Continuing the tradition, Artemis
2014 is presenting a number of first-time-published poets and
artists. Along with many distinguished, published contributors, we
are especially honored to present the work of our guest poet Nikki
Giovanni, and guest photographer Sam Krisch. Their contributions to
poetry and art are unparalleled. We, the editors, proudly present a
new and resurrected Artemis. We hope that you enjoy this 2014
edition and many more to follow. Artemis, P.O. Box 505, Floyd, VA

American women have made significant contributions to the field of
photography for well over a century. This bibliography compiles
more than 1,070 sources for over 600 photographers from the 1880s
to the present. As women's role in society changed, so did their
role as photographers. In the early years, women often served as
photographic assistants in their husbands' studios. The photography
equipment, initially heavy and difficult to transport, was improved
in the 1880s by George Eastman's innovations. With the lighter
camera equipment, photography became accessible to everyone. Women
photographers became journalists and portraitists who documented
vanishing cultures and ways of life. Many of these important female
photographers recorded life in the growing Northwest and the
streets of New York City, became pioneers of historic photography
as they captured the plight of Americans fleeing the Dust Bowl and
the horrors of the concentration camps, and were members of the
Photo-Secessionist Movement to promote photography as a true art
form. This source serves as a checklist for not only the famous but
also the less familiar women photographers who deserve attention.
The Forth Rail Bridge is one of the world's great engineering
feats, and one of its most well-known. When it opened in 1890, the
cantilevered bridge had one of the world's longest spans, at 541
metres. Its distinctive and innovative design marks it as an
important milestone in bridge construction during the period when
railways came to dominate long-distance land travel. Spanning the
estuary of one of the country's great rivers, the Forth Bridge
revolutionised travel within Scotland, and it continues to carry
and freight more than 130 years after its official opening. This
view of the Forth Rail Bridge features the Gresley A4 Class Pacific
Plover locomotive and was painted by Terence Cuneo (1907-1996) for
British Railways in 1952. Cuneo withstood gales of over 50 mph as
he sketched the scene from a girder above the track.
