Since its founding in 1852, Thomasville has grown from a rural community to an All-America City. The railroad was key to its success, and those same tracks still run through downtown. Keen businessmen capitalized on the railroad for shipping and transportation by building factories to produce goods and furniture. Thomasville is still known for the great furniture designed and built there, but the city's history consists of more than just that industry. Thomasville served as the home of prominent figures like John W. Thomas and T. Austin Finch, gave rise to powerful societies long forgotten like the Thomasville Shooting Club, and hosts the oldest street festival in North Carolina--Everybody's Day.

In 1899, the Tennessee Copper Company lifted its first shovelful of red clay dirt from what would become the new Burra Burra Mine shaft overlooking the tiny East Tennessee village of Ducktown. At its peak, the company would employ more than 3,000 workers, drawing from small towns and communities in three states, and would become the largest US mining company east of the Rocky Mountains and south of Lake Superior. It would also become the home of the largest sulfuric acid plant in the world. Generations followed generations not only into the mines but also into the skilled trades and other occupations that made up the greater part of the company's workforce. In 1963, its parent company, Tennessee Corporation, was merged with the far larger Cities Service Company, which retained much of the company's original workforce but discontinued use of the Tennessee Copper Company name on January 1, 1970.

Michigan's beer history is as diverse as the breweries themselves, and the stories behind them are as fascinating as their tasty concoctions.A few enterprising women found themselves at the forefront of early brewing in the state, and several early Detroit brewers also served as mayor. Pfeiffer's mascot was designed by Walt Disney Studios. Jackson's Eberle Brewing Company took its fight against local prohibition all the way to the Supreme Court, and the Silver Foam trademark embroiled disputants in a different legal fight. Renowned modern craft brewers grew from humble beginnings, often staving off financial disaster, to establish themselves as local, or even national, juggernauts.Grab your favorite brew and join author Patti F. Smith for a look at Michigan's distant brewing past and its recent triumphs.

In seinen Aufnahmen zeigt Testino aus seiner ganz eigenen fotografischen Perspektive die Schönheit jenes besonderen Tages, die sich nicht nur in den Emotionen und der gelebten Tradition widerspiegelt, sondern vor allem in den vielen intimen Momenten gemeinsamen Glücks.Zusammen mit Beiträgen der bekannten Modeschöpferin Carolina Herrera und dem Partyexperten Riccardo Lanza versammelt das Buch Testinos bekannteste Hochzeitsaufnahmen sowie viele bisher unbekannte Momente aus seinem privaten und familiären Umfeld.

The first monograph by sculptor, filmmaker, and photographer Shikeith, Notes towards Becoming a Spill brings together a series of striking studio portraits of Black male subjects as they inhabit various states of meditation, prayer, and ecstasy.Shikeith describes the work as "leaning into the uncanny,” visualizing ritual and the process of excavating Black men's erotic potential, the better to exorcise the "intangible presences that haunt their bodies and psyches.” The men's faces and bodies glisten with sweat (and tears)—the manifestation and evidence of desire. This ecstasy is what critic Antwaun Sargent proclaims as "an ideal, a warm depiction that insists on concrete possibility for another world.” In this revelatory volume, Shikeith redefines the idea of sacred space and positions a Queer ethic identified by its investment in vulnerability, tenderness, and joy. Shikeith: Notes towards Becoming a Spill is made possible, in part, thanks to the generous contribution of 7G Foundation.

«Ein besonderer Moment im Fotografieren ist der Augenblick kurz vor dem Abdrücken, wenn du ganz unbewusst von etwas bewegt wirst. Du versuchst ihn festzuhalten, diesen flüchtigen Augenblick, in dem die Gefühle durch dich fliessen ohne dass du sie ganz verstehst. Diese Bilder versuchen diesen Moment mittels Fotografie zu bewahren und verkörpern meine persönliche Interaktion mit Korea, wo diese Bilder gemacht wurden. Der unerwartete Fluss an Gefühlen, den man nur augenblicklich vor dem Abdrücken erlebt, formt meine Erfahrung der Welt und definiert mich als Person. Diese unbeschönigten Darstellungen vonSüdkoreas einfachen Randgebieten blicken in die Tiefen menschlicher Einsamkeit. Sie verbildlichen das unbewusste Streben der Menschen, sich mit ihrer Einsamkeit abzufinden, schauen dem Mensch-Sein mit einer gefassten Gelassenheit ins Gesicht.»- Jong Won RheeDie Menschen in Jong Won Rhees Bildern sind meist abgewandt oder in sich selbst gekehrt. Die charakteristischen blauen Dächer, der blühende Mohn, die lauten Reklametafeln und Ladenschilder, die gebündelten Frühlingszwiebeln am Marktstand, die saftigen Felder wirken alle farbiger als die Menschen, welche uns in diesen zeitgenössischen Alltagsszenen begegnen.

Own composition, use composition, and make composition your own in your photographs!Of all the magical elixirs that make up a successful photograph, composition is perhaps the most fundamental, and at the same time the most elusive. What makes a composition "e;good"e;? It's hard to define exactly, but we instinctively recognize good composition when we see it. There is an undeniable emotional response when a composition resonates with and complements the subject matter of an image.But traditional attempts to define "e;good composition"e; and to pass on rules for good compositional construction are often doomed to failure. The truth is, there are no hard and fast rules. Rules eliminate experimentation and spontaneity, which are crucial for creating compelling, dynamic, and exciting compositions. The best compositions contain an element of the unexpected. "e;Expect the unexpected!"e; is perhaps the only viable "e;rule"e; of composition. To create exciting compositions, you must have a willingness to embrace serendipity and change as part of your artistic practice. After all, composition is a process, not a result.In Composition & Photography, photographer and bestselling author Harold Davis teaches you how to perceive patterns and abstractions and incorporate them into your image-making process. If one of the goals of photography is to show viewers things that are new, or things they haven't seen before, or things they have seen many times but need to see anew, then it's with the thoughtful and considered use of composition that you do that.In this book, you'll learn how to reduce your subject matter to the fundamentals, and to show familiar subjects in unfamiliar, novel ways. Harold covers topics and themes such as: Lines and circles Rectangles Combinations Repetition Symmetry and asymmetry Abstraction Entering and exiting Vanishing points and perspective Emphasis Designing within a frame Creating order from chaosComposition & Photography will help you find the tools and visual vocabulary to creatively design your photographs. Regardless of the genre and kind of photography you practice, you'll learn to create powerful compositions that incorporate structure and form into your work in ways that best support your images. Along the way, Harold shows and discusses his own work relating to each compositional element or theme he's exploring. And featured throughout the book are exercises about flexibility and process, designed to spur your creativity and help you begin an internal creative discussion."e;My goal as a photography teacher and writer about photography is to inspire and to help you become the best and most creative photographer and image-maker that you can be."e;Harold Davis"e;Harold Davis is a force of naturea man of astonishing eclectic skills and accomplishments."e;Rangefinder Magazine
