A Sky-High Flight of Imagination When a photographer's imagination
really soars, a book like this one is created. Imagine posing live
models like museum statues, and transforming their photographs back
into statues Then, place them in exotic digital backgrounds. The
result is 240 genuinely stunning photographs in a coffee table book
that will deliver many hours of enchanting viewing. Living Nude
Statues began as a search for great poses for models. Naturally,
the most admired poses are found in museums, so photos of nude
female statues from museums around the world were used as posing
guides. With this collection of statue poses to use with the
models, wonderful images were created. Then, a question arose: what
it would be like to turn these photographs of models in statue
poses back into statues again, using photo manipulation techniques?
By teaming up with a photographer who has exceptional Photoshop
skills, wondering became wonderment at the results. The twelve
professional models featured in this volume are from the greater
Phoenix, Arizona area. Each model is featured on twenty pages in
the book. Each set of photographs is shown on facing pages with the
studio shot on the left and its transformation into a statue on the
right.
This little book guides young people through the process of
straightening out their messed up thinking about what is true,
about who they really are, about their general purpose in life,
about their place in the universe, and about the nature of reality.
It is based on the scientifically accurate teachings of Sufi
George, an American new paradigm metaphysician who cuts straight
through the hypocritical claptrap of common thinking to deliver a
crisp and clear concept of oneself as a pure and natural being. The
book is short and friendly and can be easily read while taking a
walk. Sufi George has tens of thousands of readers around the world
and is regarded as a Sufi master.
This album includes sixteen professional models with eight
photographs each (128 photographs). The models are from Phoenix and
Tucson, Arizona. George Arthur Lareau produces these surreal
bodyscapes with two pinhole cameras. Pinhole cameras have no lens,
just a tiny pinhole. Pinholes were the first cameras, marking the
beginning of photography. In the studio, the amount of light
required to make an exposure is very high, requiring him to use a
powerful flash unit. Pinholes are also challenging to use because
he has to imagine his photos (no viewfinders) and blending images
is somewhat unpredictable. Lareau bought his two pinhole cameras as
toys, but then became fascinated with the results they give him.
There is no lens so there is no color correction. Everything is in
focus because of the great depth of field. This led him to choose
pinholes for his bodyscape projects. Lareau developed his unusual
style for bodyscapes some thirty years ago, using students from the
University of Illinois as models. Finding his own vision for that
series of bodyscape photographs was a four-year endeavor, and today
he continues to probe new visions with his pinhole cameras.
Lareau's fiction is both irreverent and mystical. Whether he draws
his material from the gutters of life or from flights of
imaginative fancy, he strikes his reader with one hammering wake-up
call after another. He is a surviving Boston beatnik, a new
paradigm metaphysician, a photographic artist, and an author in
many genres including consciousness theory, poetry, drama,
photography and business. Not a prolific producer in any single
genre, he instead applies his genius to a very broad spectrum,
chasing his inquisitiveness with reckless abandon. His writing is
sometimes reminiscent of Bukowsky.
A Hilarious Comedy Based on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show With a
tumultuous fanfare of national publicity, a mental patient/author
claiming to be the second coming of Jesus Christ appears on the
Johnny Show. His book, Yes I Am, heals the sick by sleeping with
the book placed on the body. Jesus, a modest figure, sets Johnny
straight about who he really is. The two act out a skit as "The
Mile-High Players," parading on the street with end of the world
placards. This play is available for production royalty-free
This revealing personal journal exposes the emotional tribulations
of a man coping with the extremes of his wife's MPD behaviors.
Rebecca was eventually diagnosed not only as a victim of multiple
personality disorder, but as the host for 44 separate
personalities, probably a record. This journal is not pleasant
reading. It is the shocking and heart-wrenching first-hand account
of a man driven nearly to madness by his dedication to and love for
his wife. Rebecca had been in mental hospitals five times when she
met George, and had been given five different diagnoses, none of
which was multiple personality disorder. She had not finished high
school, had divorced after giving her son up for adoption, and was
living in a half-way house. It was only after their first
year-and-a-half together that they suspected what her problem
actually was, and her diagnosis by the state's leading expert at
Massachusetts General Hospital made it a devastating reality. For
seven years, George Arthur Lareau battled between his deep love for
Rebecca and the tortuous experiences he suffered from their
tumultuous relationship.
This collection is an intimate chronicle of one American life. Yet,
it reflects the rapidly changing and endlessly varied American
experience itself during the latter half of the 20th Century.
Searching to understand himself and his times, George Arthur Lareau
plunges into the waters of art, mysticism, business and love,
documenting his experience in poetic form. Lareau is probably the
last surviving Boston beatnink poet. His poetry readings were
popular in Boston beatnik coffee houses. He gave readings at
Harvard University and at his alma mater McKendree University,
among other venues.
