The first sightings of newly discovered work from Saul Leiter's
abundant archive of colour slides. Now widely acclaimed as one of
the world's greatest photographers, Saul Leiter (1923-2013)
remained relatively unsung until he was rediscovered by curators
and critics in his early 80s, and his work has been drastically
re-evaluated over the last two decades. Leiter's images evoked the
flow and rhythm of life on the mid-century streets of New York in
luminous colour at a time when his contemporaries were shooting in
black and white. His complex and impressionistic photographs are as
much about evoking an atmosphere as nailing the decisive moment.
Saul Leiter was born in Pittsburgh and moved to New York City in
1946. He pioneered a painterly approach to colour photography
starting in the late 1940s and produced covers for fashion
magazines such as Esquire and Harper's Bazaar before largely
withdrawing from public attention in the 1980s. The publication in
2006 of his first monograph, Early Color, inspired an avid
'rediscovery' of Leiter's work by contemporary audiences. His
studio in New York's East Village, where he lived from 1952 until
his death in 2013, is now the home of the Saul Leiter Foundation.
The Foundation has begun a full-scale survey and organization of
his more than 80,000 works, with the aim of compiling the
'complete' archive. This volume contains works discovered through
this process, specifically colour slides, never before published or
seen by the public. Meticulously curated by Margit Erb and Michael
Parillo of the Saul Leiter Foundation and supported by texts that
explain how Leiter built the slide archive and how it is now being
explored, catalogued and restored, this new monograph will be a
must-have for photography fans worldwide.

Mats Svensson is a photographer who took 60,000 photos in the
occupied Palestinian territories over several years and winnowed
them down to the 92 perceptive, nuanced, and ultimately
heart-rending images in this volume. Svenssons photos are
accompanied by pithy and surprising commentary from a wide variety
of Palestinian and Israeli figures as well as international voices
from Barack Obama and George W Bush to Nelson Mandela and Desmond
Tutu. Svensson documents Palestinian street scenes, conveying the
mannerisms and customs of daily life, as did the humanist
photographer Cartier Bresson. Svensson does not display the blood
and gore of conflict, yet he shows its precursors and its aftermath
in photos that, taken together, are as charged as the war photos of
Robert Capa and David Douglas Duncan. Svensson shows us occupation,
expropriation, arrest, and immense concrete barriers encroaching on
daily life and asks us to come to our own conclusions. Americans
will recognize this use of photos and words in the long tradition
of politically committed photojournalists such as Walker Evans and
James Agee who depicted the dispossessed of the earth in the
American south at the depths of the Great Depression in their
classic, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men.
As Others See Us is based on a new photographic exhibition from
Tricia Malley and Ross Gillespie, who together form the renowned
partnership broad daylight. It forms part of Homecoming 2009,
celebrating the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns' birth. The
exhibition consists of 20 portraits of prominent and influential
Scots, including Eddi Reader, Edwin Morgan, Peter Howson and Janice
Galloway. The portraits capture a unique insight into the sitter,
enhanced by the accompanying text, as each was asked to contribute
their favourite poem from Robert Burns, and to explain why it is
special to them and what they think it means to Scots today.
‘Think about a tune … the unsayable, the invisible, the longing
in music. Here is a book of tunes without musical notes … It
wrings the heart’ John Berger ‘A masterpiece’ Robert
Macfarlane ‘O’Grady does not just respond to Pyke’s stark,
beautiful photographs: he gives voice to thousands’ Louise
Kennedy ‘The experience of Irish emigration uniquely and
powerfully illuminated’ Mark Knopfler ‘If the words tell the
story of the voiceless, the bleak lovely photographs show their
faces. Fiction rarely gets as close to the messy, glorious truth as
do memories and photographs. This rare novel dares to use both’
Charlotte Mendelson, TLS An old man lies alone and sleepless in
London. Before dawn he is taken by an image from his childhood in
the West of Ireland, and begins to remember a migrant’s life.
Haunted by the faces and the land he left behind, he calls forth
the bars and boxing booths of England, the potato fields and
building sites, the music he played and the woman he loved. Timothy
O’Grady’s tender, vivid prose and Steve Pyke’s starkly
beautiful photographs combine to make a unique work of fiction, an
act of remembering suffused with loss, defiance and an
unforgettable loveliness. An Irish life with echoes of the lives of
unregarded migrant workers everywhere. Since it was first published
in 1997, I Could Read the Sky has achieved the status of a classic.
Now available in paperback, this extensive collection of the
world's best street photography captures daily life in every corner
of the globe. From pre-war gelatin silver prints to 21st-century
digital images, from documentary to abstract, from New York's
Central Park to a mountain city in Mongolia, these photographs
reveal the many ways street photography moves, informs, and excites
us. The book includes work by the likes of Margaret Bourke-White,
Henri Cartier-Bresson, Joel Meyerowitz, Gordon Parks, Andre
Kertesz, Garry Winogrand, Roger Mayne, and other masters of street
photography who pushed the genre's boundaries and continue to
innovate today. Each exquisitely reproduced photograph is
accompanied by an informative text which reveals the story behind
the image. David Gibson's insightful introduction traces the
history of street photography, reflects on its broad appeal, and
looks toward the future of the genre.
The UK shipping forecast covers the waters of Western Europe and
separates them into 31 sea areas encompassing the UK, from Dover to
Southeast Iceland to German Bight- of which Power photographed all
of them, over a period of four years. Each image is captioned with
the 0600hr forecast on the day they were taken. This newly edited
and revised second edition includes over 100 previously unpublished
images. 'The shipping forecast, of course, exists to save lives. It
warns those at sea, or about to put to sea, of approaching storms.
But for the majority of us, in Britain at least, its strange,
rhythmic language is unashamedly romantic and oddly reassuring,
despite forming an image of an island nation perpetually buffeted
by wind and waves. It manages to do all this while remaining
virtually incomprehensible: the general synopsis at 0 1 00. Low,
Southeast Iceland 995 moving slowly southwest, filling 1 00 7 by 0
1 00 tomorrow. Low, Biscay 958, expected Wales 1 00 5 by the same
time. Low, Trafalgar 1 00 3, moving slowly east, losing its
identity.'
Celebrating 100 years of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, motorsport’s

began back in 1923. Including details of the cars’ drivers, as
well as interesting facts about each race, such as weather
conditions, distance covered and average speeds, Le Mans Winning
Colours is a book to treasure for all racing-car enthusiasts.

piece of Northeast, Ohio, has made a huge impression on the hearts
of thousands of visitors. But what is it about this town that draws

mid-nineteenth century, was Geneva on the Lake able to sustain some
of the most trying times in the entertainment industry?

what the town is today, one may discover the answers to these
questions. By examining numerous accounts of happy times on the

Visually stunning and deeply insightful, 80s Sound and Vision is
THE defining book of an unforgettable decade, capturing the raw
energy, creativity and flamboyance of the era through its fashion
and music. With images by renowned photographer Sheila Rock, this
personal journey offers a sumptuous visual account including many
rare images from the photographer's archive, alongside those
originally featured in seminal publications such as The Face,
Rolling Stone and Vogue. Rock's compelling first hand narrative
shot across a decade primarily in London but also LA, San Francisco
and Tokyo, takes us to a time when the real catwalk happened on the
street; when style was the first and last word and when youth made
their own identity, culture, music and entertainment. Here are the
burgeoning roots of gender fluidity and an index of impressive
talents that bubbled out of the suburbs and art schools to energise
and invigorate a grey place with positivity and possibility. This
lavish compendium is a who's who of the artists, designers,
stylists, hairdressers, models and performers, who made the 1980s
their own. Alongside many notable stars (David Bowie, Brian Ferry,
Naomi Campbell, Judy Blame, Leigh Bowery) are documented the
equally relevant style gangs and subcultures who lived by their own
rules (New Romantics, Goths, Mods and Metal Heads) and the 'it'
hang outs and clubs (Billy's, Blitz, Le Beat Route) where a new
sensibility was created and paraded. 80s Sound and Vision is a
unique chronicle of an extraordinary time and bears witness to the
powerful explosion of imagination and innovation that shaped a
decade.
