forensic digital imaging and photography in a manner that is
straightforward and easy to digest for the professional and
student. It provides information on how to photograph any setting
that may have forensic value, details how to follow practices that
are acceptable in court, and recommends what variety of hardware
and software are most valuable to a practitioner.
In a practice spanning nearly two decades, Jose Dávila has created an expressive body of work that explores the visual tropes and iconic symbols of art, architecture, and urban design. Initially trained as an architect and self-educated as a visual artist, Dávila creates sculptures, installations and photographic works that simultaneously emulate, critique, and pay homage to 20th-century avant-garde art and architecture, referencing artists and architects from Luis Barragán to Josef Albers and Donald Judd. Humor and melancholy co-mingle in works that often explore the tension between industrial and organic materials and the forces of compression and balance. This monograph assesses the full scope of Dávila’s practice in all media for the first time, and includes texts attesting to the historical and social dimensions of Dávila’s art. Essays address the artist’s early pieces, his exercises on balance, sculpture, graphics and paintings, and his works in public space.
Vacations are a delimited period during which social rules and responsibilities are eased, removed, or shifted, and people have increased autonomy over what they choose to do. Recent trends in the travel industry emphasize the appeal of vacations for voluntary identity changes-when bankers can become bikers for a week or when "Momcations" allow mothers to leave their families behind. But how do our vacations allow us to shape our identity? Getting Away from It All is a study of individuality and flexibility and the intersection of self-definition and social constraint. Karen Stein interviews vacationers about their travels and down time, focusing on "identity transitions." She shows how objects, settings, temporal environments and social interactions limit or facilitate identity shifts, and how we arrange our vacations to achieve the shifts we desire. Stein also looks at the behavior, values, attitudes, and worldview of individuals to illuminate how people engage in either identity work or identity play. Vacations say a lot about individuals. They signal class and economic standing and reveal aspirations and goals. Getting Away from It All insists that vacations are about more than just taking time off to relax and rejuvenate-they are about having some time to work on the person one wants to be.
...one comes to realize that sitting on the fence between right and left, or right and wrong, internal and external, can be very uncomfortable when emotions and feelings and the natural flow of things have been blocked, shut down, compressed, cut off, hidden or made to hide... It bids looking into 'the mechanical encrusted upon the living' as Henri Bergson once described the essence of the comic...Can we trace it, face it and erase it? Can we become free? As more and more we succumb to 'nature deficit disorder' (Louv) perhaps we can tear down a fence instead of building yet another one...Let fall the self limiting enclosures in our minds to allow our thoughts to breathe...Inner revolution begins now Hug a Tree
