"Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our
God?" Psalm 77:13 If you think the Old Testament feast days are
outdated and of no interest to Christians living in the
twenty-first century, think again Within the feast days lies the
entire gospel message of salvation-every feast says something about
Jesus: who He is, what He is doing, and what He will do in the
future. Feast Days for the Contemporary Mind will open your eyes to
the amazing truths about salvation that God wove into the feasts He
gave to the Israelites to observe. Pastor Craig Martin Barnes
explores each of the seven feasts and the antitypical fulfillment
of each event as it relates to our redemption. This book plunges
you into the Word of God, examining the Old and New Testament as it
relates to the feast days and their completion and providing
detailed commentary that expounds upon the subject matter and
guides you to a deeper understanding of Jesus' life, death, and
heavenly ministry.

Garry Fabian Miller's Dark Room is a photography book unlike any
other. At its heart is the artist's description of a life lived
making pictures between the dark and the light, a deeply personal
account woven against the history of photography from the moment of
its birth in the 1830s to its decline, and some would say death, in
the digital age almost two hundred years later. It is a memoir that
reads at times like a manifesto, at others like a confession; a
last testament to the dark room as both a site for the imagination,
and a physical space for the alchemy that William Henry Fox Talbot
once described as 'a little bit of magic realised'. Dark Room
charts Miller's work over five decades, shifting from a
camera-based practice in early career to the abstract picture
making for which he has become internationally recognised, working
without a camera to experiment with the possibilities of light as
both medium and subject. At its core is the relationship with
nature and place that has so sustained his way of life, and
specifically with his home on Dartmoor and the cycle of daily walks
that have been at the core of his practice for thirty years. The
book also features an essay on Miller's work by his friend the
potter and writer Edmund de Waal and technical notes by Martin
Barnes, senior photography curator of the Victoria and Albert
Museum.
Maurice Broomfield (1916-2010) was a humanist photographer of the
heroic and sublime - and sometimes surreal - qualities of industry
and manufacture. His work spans the rise of post war industrial
Britain in the 1950s to its slow decline into the early 1980s.
Through his perfectionism, skill and sheer delight in the
possibilities of photography, he produced an invaluable record of
Britain's manufacturing past that is packed with artistry and high
drama. 'My father always wanted to be called Maurice not Dad, so
Maurice it is...' Industrial Sublime is introduced by Maurice's
son, filmmaker Nick Broomfield, who this year released the
documentary My Father and Me, which explores his relationship with
Maurice. V&A curator Martin Barnes discusses the life and work
of Maurice, whom he came to know well as he worked to transfer his
archive from his Hampshire home to the Museum. He also analyses in
more detail a selection of the most important images, many of which
are accompanied by memories related by Maurice as he revisited his
work. Together they form a monument not just to the might of
British manufacturing, but to the dedication, skill and experience
of those who worked in it.
Among the most magnificent buildings of England are its Anglican
cathedrals, great symbols of spiritual and architectural power.
There are few experiences more uplifting and humbling than standing
in the nave of a cathedral, and no one can fail to marvel at
Durham's incomparable Romanesque masterpiece, the elegant stylistic
unity of Salisbury, the world-famous stained glass of Canterbury or
the striking Gothic scissor arch at Wells. Britain is the top
foreign tourist destination for Americans, with 3 million visiting
each year, and historic buildings are the top visitor sites.
Canterbury Cathedral alone receives over 40,000 visitors each year
from the United States and, together with Durham, is a World
Heritage Site. In this truly breathtaking book, award-winning
Magnum photographer, Peter Marlow, has captured the nave of each of
England's 42 Anglican cathedrals. Taken in natural light at dawn,
usually looking towards the east window, these remarkable images
bring into sharp relief the full splendour of the buildings. Marlow
first took up photography as a student, after visiting an
exhibition of the photographs of Walker Evans at the Museum of
Modern Art in New York. The impetus to begin photographing
cathedrals came from a commission in 2007 from the Royal Mail for
photographs of the interiors or six cathedrals, for use on a set of
commemorative stamps. Once the commission was complete, Marlow was
inspired to continue the project in his own time. Approaching the
Dean and Chapter of each cathedral, he gained permission to enter
each building in the early hours of the morning and to turn off all
artificial lights. Marlow adopted a kind of ritual, waking as early
as 3.00 am to drive to the location and begin working from 6.00 am.
In this window of opportunity, he watched the cathedral interior
emerge from the darkness and come to life. Marlow's spellbinding
photographs are accompanied by his commentary on the project,
including sketches, preparatory shots and technical notes; an
introduction by curator Martin Barnes on the tradition of church
photography, especially the work of Frederick Evans and Edwin
Smith; and a concise summary of each cathedral interior by
architectural historian John Goodall.
The V&A Photography Library is a new series of accessible,
introductory volumes to the key themes, works, objects and
individuals in photography, illustrated with unprecedented access
to the V&A's photography collection, the oldest held by a
public museum and one of the largest and finest in the world, now
expanded with acquisitions from the Royal Photographic Society
collection. Written by Martin Barnes, Senior Curator of Photographs
at the V&A, and publishing to coincide with the launch of the
V&A's new Photography Centre in autumn 2018, Cameraless
Photography presents a concise historical survey of photographic
images created without a camera. With over 125 photographs
supported by extended commentaries and an introduction, it embraces
a chronology spanning the early photographic experiments of the
likes of Anna Atkins in the 19th century through the avant-garde
photograms of modernists such as Man Ray, to the work of
contemporary artists, such as Susan Derges, nearly two centuries
later. Visually compelling, Cameraless Photography will be an
outstanding introductory overview of the key creative, cameraless
processes running throughout the history of photography - including
photograms, chemigrams, luminograms, dye destruction prints and
more - illustrated by the cameraless work of some of photography's
greatest names.
Horst P. Horst (1906-1999) was one of the twentieth century's
master photographers. A revered figure in the world of fashion
image making, he charted sixty years of style for "Vogue" and
"House and Garden," from the fashions and celebrities of the 1930s
to the interiors of the 1980s. However, little-known within his
body of work - and contrasting intriguingly with his career in
fashion - is a set of prints and a book, "Patterns from Nature"
(1946). Working with a Rolleiflex and Graphic View Camera in New
York, Monterey and Mexico, Horst photographed the detailed textures
and forms of natural objects, including plants, rocks, shells and
butterfly wings. His close scrutiny of these forms makes them
unfamiliar and revelatory. These images were gathered into
"Patterns from Nature," which also featured 9 kaleidoscopic images
made by arranging the photographs in simple repeat. Horst believed
that these dynamic patterns would be 'immediately applicable to
industrial fields such as textiles, wallpaper, carpets, plastics
and glass'. Published to coincide with a major retrospective on
Horst's work at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Martin Barnes
re-examines these images in, "Horst: Patterns from Nature." This
new edition will make the 9 original collaged images available for
the first time in nearly 70 years and will also include a further
28 photo-collages that have only recently been rediscovered and
have never before been seen or published.
The very first photographs of the nineteenth century were produced
without the use of a camera. Today, having rediscovered camera-less
techniques, a number of artists are using camera-less photography
to create beautiful, startling images. Now available in an updated
and fully revised edition, Shadow Catchers surveys the work of five
leading practitioners - Pierre Cordier, Susan Derges, Adam Fuss,
Garry Fabian Miller and Floris Neususs - who, by casting shadows on
light-sensitive paper or by chemically manipulating its surface,
capture the presence of objects, figures or glowing light. The
resulting pictures are consistently powerful, often with surreal
effects and symbolic content. This is the first book to gather
together the work of these key contemporary artists, revealing the
technical processes and creative practices involved in their art.
In an age of mass-produced imagery, Shadow Catchers offers a
fascinating insight into a world of handcrafted photographs that
are at once visually striking and intellectually stimulating.
