"You’ll be in awe of the work of the American rancher and
wildlife alike." — Fox News "... Krantz delivers a
true sense of not only the size and scope of Art and Catherine
Nicholas’ Wagonhound Ranch, but also the deep sense of
stewardship the Nicholas family and their crew bring to ranching
every day." — Western Horseman "...Anouk’s
photographs tell a visual story of the rancher and his relationship
with the land." — The Eye of Photography "A stunning
photographic collection that celebrates the reality of ranch
life." — Big Sky Journal Wagonhound is a historic
working ranch spanning over 300,000 acres in Wyoming, where the
elevation ranges from 5,000 feet to 9,000 feet; where talented,
strong, and steady quarter horses supplied by the ranch-owned
remuda are required to help the cowboys manage the herds in a
spectacularly rugged terrain. Catherine and Art Nicholas, who took
the reins of the historic ranch in 1999, take the stewardship of
the land very seriously — their vision has been to honour
tradition, preserve the land, which is steeped in history, and
return it to a pristine condition. In Ranchland: Wagonhound, Anouk
Krantz’s beautiful photography reveals the daily and seasonal
rhythms of the ranch and the daily lives of its men and women
cowboys, whose long hard days — starting in the dark and
finishing in the dark — involve everything from cattle driving to
branding to training the best quarter horses in the country and
more. Set in a stunning large-format book, these photographs and
the stories offer an inspiring new perspective into today's
cowboy/ranching culture and land stewardship of the American
West.Â

An overgrown concrete bunker at Ypres; a rusting gun carriage in a
field in Flanders; perfectly preserved trenchworks at Vimy,
northern France; a rocky mountaintop observation post high in the
Tyrolean mountains. More than 100 years after the end of World War
I, the conflict's legacy can still be seen from Europe to the
Pacific. Abandoned Places of World War I explores more than 120
bunkers, trench systems, tunnels, fortifications and gun
emplacements from North America to East Africa. Included are
defensive structures, such as Fort Douaumont at Verdun, the site of
the Western Front's bloodiest battle; the elaborately constructed
tunnels of the Wellington Quarry, near Arras, designed to provide a
safe working hospital for wounded British soldiers; and crumbling
concrete pill boxes in Anzac Cove, Turkey. From the preserved
remains of the mighty Przemysl fortress to bunkers and observation
points high in the Slovenian Dolomites, Abandoned Places of World
War I features more than 180 striking photographs from around the
world.
Easton's photographs, alongside texts by writer, poet and social
researcher Abdul Aziz Hafiz, aim to confront stereotypes and
question the dangerous over-simplification of the challenges facing
such communities. They do so by presenting the contemporary
experience of residents as an 'alternative history telling'. The
black and white photographs in the book were all made in an area
less than half a mile square in Blackburn during 2019 and 2020.
Working with a large-format wooden field camera, Easton spent long
days and weeks in the neighbourhood talking to residents and
sometimes making pictures. The project melds image and text -
Easton's portraiture and landscapes combined with poetry and an
essay by Aziz Hafiz and with the testimonies of residents. This
long-form collaboration acknowledges the issues and impacts of
social deprivation, housing, unemployment, immigration and
representation, as well as past and present foreign policy. The
result is a collective and nuanced portrait of the town - a
sensitive response to the oversimplistic representation of such
communities in both the media and by government, which deny the
right of Bank Top to tell its own story.
Featuring 100 of the best photographs ever captured on camera, Look
At This If You Love Great Photography is a must read for anyone who
appreciates the power of the image. In this beautiful guide to some
of the most compelling photographs ever taken, photography
journalist Gemma Padley offers concise, insightful summaries of
just what it is that makes each one so special. Having written for
some of the most important publications on modern photography,
Gemma draws on her expert knowledge to reveal the fascinating
stories behind these incredible pictures, focusing in on why each
image chosen represents such a high point in photographic history.
Uniquely curated to offer a fresh perspective on the medium, expect
to see pictures from legends of the art form, including Ansel Adams
and Martin Parr, alongside cutting-edge examples from the studios
of the most creative photographers operating today. Whether it's
gut-punching photojournalism that changed public opinion and made
us question who we are, or images that rewrite the rules of
photography and blur the lines between other art forms, this is a
penetrating rundown of the pictures that really matter and you need
to see them.
Thatcher’s Children was born out of a series first made in 1992
focusing on two parents and six children living in a hostel for
homeless families in Blackpool, England. The project was made in
response to a speech by Peter Lilley, then Secretary of State for
Social Security, in which he announced his determination to
‘close down the something-for-nothing society.’ French
newspaper Libération dispatched a journalist to northern England
to find out what this society looked like, and Easton was
commissioned to take the accompanying photographs. His resulting
monochrome images of the overcrowded two-bedroom council flat in
Blackpool sparked a reaction by both the public and the press. His
images attached human faces and nuanced realities to a group of
people casually maligned by politicians and media as an
‘underclass of scroungers.’
Dispersal considers the period of change in Stratford, East London
prior to the 2012 Olympic Games. It is both a visual record of a
place that has transformed beyond recognition and a commentary on
the impact of these changes. Though often represented as a
post-industrial 'wasteland', this part of East London was a melting
pot of over 200 trades and industries. Photographers Marion Davies
and Debra Rapp documented 60 of these small businesses - from
belt-making, zinc- galavanising, kebab-making and salmon smoking -
before they were forced to move from the area in 2007. These unique
photographs reveal the atmosphere and processes of the workplace
alongside a short account of the personal histories of each
business. While the photographs provide an impression of the site
at the cusp of change, they also suggest a landscape shaped over
time. How this landscape or urban 'edgeland' developed and evolved
from the mid-19th century is explored by urban planning and
architectural historian Juliet Davis. A series of maps from 2007 to
2015 analyse the patterns of dispersal of these businesses. The
three authors have charted the progress, successes and failures of
these large and small firms, re-photographing a selection in 2015.
They show how this major urban redevelopment project has had a
permanent and dramatic impact on the Lea Valley's industrial areas;
and at the same time they have created a lasting record of this
previously diverse and often unappreciated working environment.
