H2O-scapes by Sylvie Leblanc (b. 1959) are photographic studies of the sky and the water, created between 2009 and 2023 in La Malbaie, Canada. All fifty-seven photographs were taken from the same location and depict the various physical states of the water in and above the Saint Lawrence River. Sometimes the landscape is entirely shrouded in fog without any visible horizon line; sometimes the outlines of islands are visible. Dramatic cloud formations, drifting ice floes or soft waves: Leblancs landscape remains the same and yet is presented in a multitude of different ways. Her photographs transform the dynamic play of the water molecules into a moment of stillness-and a space for dreams and contemplation.

A beautifully illustrated exploration of how Latif Al Ani's photographs and contemporary Iraqi artists continue to challenge the colonial appropriation of Iraq's ancient past Beginning in the early nineteenth century, Mesopotamian and early Islamic ruins became the focus of many Western colonial expeditions. These missions, which routinely dismissed the role and knowledge of local communities, came to shape the historical narrative of ancient civilizations and modern people. In Iraq, home to renowned sites such as Babylon, Dur-Kurigalzu, Ctesiphon, Hatra, and Samarra, foreign excavations appropriated ancient cultures and influenced how they were interpreted and transmitted. And these excavations still reverberate today in understandings of Iraqi identity. Centered around the images of pioneering Iraqi photographer Latif Al Ani (1932-2021), Through the Lens: Latif Al Ani's Visions of Ancient Iraq highlights the voices of those who explored the Iraqi past and the deeply personal stories of those who confront its legacy, challenging the Western colonial narrative that has dominated for centuries. The companion volume to an exhibition at New York University's Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, the book features archival documents, lithographs, 1960s photography, essays that explore the rich history of ancient and modern Iraq, and the work and personal accounts of five contemporary Iraqi artists who reflect on the complex issues of Iraqi cultural identity and heritage. Contributors include Adel Abidin, Narmin Amin, Pedro Azara, Roberta Casagrande-Kim, Abdulrahman K. Darwesh, Nelida Fuccaro, Nadine Hattom, Hanaa Malallah, Nat Muller, Mahmoud Obaidi, and Ala Younis.

Halloween es una celebración muy popular en Estados Unidos, que recientemente se ha extendido a gran parte del mundo. Suele tener lugar la víspera del 31 de octubre, al día siguiente es la fiesta cristiana de Todos los Santos con recuerdo de los difuntos. El nombre proviene del inglés antiguo "All Hallows Eve". Se dice que Halloween proviene de la religión celta del Samhain (Final del verano). Era una celebración del final del período de la cosecha. La tradición fue traída por inmigrantes escoceses e irlandeses a Estados Unidos y muchos creen que en realidad es una antigua tradición pagana celta que se trasladó al cristianismo.Una de las tradiciones de Halloween es disfrazarse, para salir de fiesta o para pedir dulces. Es lo que se llama en español, truco o trato. La gente decora las casas y otros locales con gran entusiasmo. A finales de los 1930, Una revista americana, The American Home (El hogar americanoempezó a publicar artículos dirigidos a las familias americanas, acerca del trick or treat (truco o trato). Programas de radio y televisión lo popularizaron aún más.Celebramos este feliz evento y esperamos que disfruten de nuestra selección de fotografías y que puedan servir de inspiración.

A traveler's quest for Michelangelo's most troubled work of art--the notorious Tomb of Pope Julius II. "A delightful combination of art history and light drama." -- Kirkus Reviews His artistic ambitions crumbling as fast as his marriage, Sam careens through Europe seeking inspiration in the great Michelangelo who, for all his success, struggled to complete what was to be his magnum opus. Sam teams up with an intriguing Italian woman who opens his eyes to the deeper meaning of the Tomb: how Michelangelo's grand ambitions got continually derailed. The result? A profound "midlife crisis." Incredibly, Michelangelo at Midlife is the only non-academic book about the Tomb. Sam travels from Florence, where Michelangelo began the project, to the quarries of Carrara where he dreamed up a colossal 50-foot pyramid studded with David­-sized statues. From Paris to Venice, the Sistine to Amsterdam, Sam chases the tangled 40-year tale of the Tomb. The story takes on added life with 180 COLOR illustrations, including graphics of the Tomb's evolution. The author, Gene Openshaw, has also written numerous best-selling books and PBS TV shows with travel guru Rick Steves. Michelangelo at Midlife culminates in Rome, where the parallel stories converge. Can Michelangelo--and Sam--navigate the choppy waters of middle age and realize their youthful dreams? "This is an entertaining treat, especially for art lovers and wanderlust-afflicted travelers looking for a breezy read." -- Kirkus Reviews

A bit from within:~~ "Here,where sounds of silenceserenade my soul, my pulse slows.Breath slides deeper,nudges my heart awake.In a world where more is better and less is less,Here,there's none of thatand all of this.Here,land becomes sanctuaryfor souls longing to rememberthe why of it all in a world of just too much"Earth stirs the author's curiosity as she listens to what she hears and narrates what she sees. When asked why, she responds, "I am not Mother Earth, but I can mother this earth through words and invitation to show her I care. When I return to the land, I feel most at home within me. Our world is noisy. I wrote this for you as a way to remember what is often drowned by sound, but is always just a pause and breath away."

This book offers an in-depth technical presentation of photography and details about the inner workings of the digital camera, while keeping the artistic principles in mind. Departing from the current stream, the book treats photography as a highly scientific and technical subject, and serves as a reference to those who seek for an understanding of the technical aspects relating to the photographic camera, the beating heart of photography.
