Tein Lucasson loves ALL dogs. For this reason, the graphic
designer, art director and producer uses photos of dogs sent to him
by his fans and friends to create high-quality artistic images that
look like paintings of old masters: from the Labrador in an
aristocratic coat with a ruff to the promenade mix in a sailor's
uniform. Each dog has its own unmistakable character, which Tein
brings closer to its readers in witty, bizarre and thoughtful
texts. After the success of Portraits of Eighty-Eight Cats and One
Very Wise Zebra, Tein now presents his second illustrated book for
teNeues: Lovingly designed, this book is a must for every dog
lover's shelf. The perfect gift for all lovers of our four-legged
companions. Text in English, German, French and Italian.

Hi, my name is Malik Frank and I was born to be a Digital Media
Artist. As a kid, when I was 5 years old, my kindergarten teacher
told my parents that I would never be able to function as a normal
child and that I will be incapable to do anything. My mom cried a
river because she thought the world was over for me. However, my
dad was determined to make sure that I'll be successful no matter
what. So, as my dad learned different ways on how to teach me, he
noticed that I can learn things through pictures. My dad noticed
that I loved cameras because I would always talk about them. I took
great pictures and showed a passion for it. My dad helped me to
make sure that I would be successful as a Digital Media Artist. He
helped me with my craft of using a professional camera by learning
how to better enhance my eye, looking at artwork, and helping me
with my classes using cue cards. As a result of the skills I've
developed, he assisted with making those connections over the years
of being at High School of Graphic Communication Arts, that would
help me achieve. Today, I am a successful Teen Digital Media Artist
who is determined to begin the greatest journey of my life
Throughout this book, I will display photos over the years of being
a high school student, creating my imagination on camera and
turning my photos into a masterpiece.

Today the use of photography (and its extension, video) in
psychiatry is a common practice. But in the 1850s, when pioneering
medical photographer and psychiatrist Dr. Hugh W. Diamond was
behind the camera, this technique was an innovative application of
art to science, reflecting and expanding the contemporary interest
in physiognomic characteristics. In "The Face of Madness," notable
scholar Sander Gilman has curated a unique exhibition of 54 of Dr.
Diamond's photographs and commentary.
Diamond's photographs are eloquent portraits of the insane-the
melancholy, the depressed, the deranged, the alcoholic-whom he
cared for at the Surrey County Lunatic Asylum. In addition to their
psychiatric significance, these photographs are notable works of
art since Diamond was a pioneer in experimenting with and refining
photographic techniques.
Diamond's paper "On the Application of Photography to the
Physiognomic and Mental Phenomena of Insanity," is included in this
printing. This discourse discloses three functions of photography
which are still relevant to the practice of psychiatry today:
Photography can record the appearance of the mentally ill for
study; it can be used for treatment through the presentation of an
accurate self-image; and it can record the visages of patients to
facilitate identification in case of later readmission.
In addition to Diamond's paper, notes and analysis by Dr. John
Conolly are also included in this volume. Dr. Conolly, one of Dr.
Diamond's associates, was widely considered to be the leading
British psychiatrist of the mid-nineteenth century. His patient
case studies accompany 17 of Diamond's photographs. These reports
include clinical information as well as diagnoses based on the
theories of the physiognomy of insanity accepted at that
period.
"The Face of Madness" is a book to be treasured not only by
psychiatrists, but also by photographers and medical historians. As
Eric T. Carlson writes in the Introduction: "Until now these
photographs have been known only through the sketches made from
them. Professor Gilman has performed a great service in locating
them and by giving us their history."
Sander L. Gilman, PhD, is a distinguished professor of the
Liberal Arts and Sciences as well as Professor of Psychiatry at
Emory University. A respected educator, he has served as Old
Dominion Visiting Professor of English at Princeton; Northrop Frye
Visiting Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of
Toronto; Mellon Visiting Professor of Humanities at Tulane
University; Goldwin Smith Professor of Humane Studies at Cornell
University; and Professor of the History of Psychiatry at Cornell
Medical College. He has written and edited several books including
"Sexuality: An Illustrated History" and "Seeing the Insane."
Axle Contemporary has assembled an exhibition which includes many
of the most compelling photographers working now in New Mexico. The
participants include photographers known for diverse genres:
Landscape, portraiture, architectural, commercial, fashion,
environmental, conceptual, journalism, abstract, and wedding
photography. We've invited these artists to exhibit works of
self-portraiture. Process ranges from 8x10 view cameras to
smartphone photos, from split-toned waxed callotype to digitally
manipulated inkjet prints, collage, and monoprinting. For many of
the artists, this exhibition has provided an opportunity for
experimentation and reflection, outside of the artist's established
oeuvre. The result is a rich portrait of a community of
artists-photographers working in New Mexico at this time, by the
photographers themselves. Photographers are: V. Amore, Henry
Aragoncillo, Laurie Archer, Phillip Augustin, Brad Bealmear,
Jonathan Blaustein, Gay Block, Iscah Hunsden Carey, Matthew
Chase-Daniel, Carola Clift, William Clift, Eric Cousineau, Guy
Cross, Ungelbah Davilla, Antone Dolezal, Dianne Duenzl, Jennifer
