The Birth Of Rock And Roll Dust-to-Digital 2015 ISBN
9780981734286 Acqn 24578 Hb 25x31cm 160pp 134ills 34col 46.95 In
The Birth of Rock and Roll, Americana collector Jim Linderman has
arranged a storyboard of sorts that dramatizes the spirit of rock
and roll in its early dayswhen "a juke-joint with fifty patrons was
a big show," as Linderman writes in his introduction. "A church
with fifty congregants was a full house. The annual square dance at
the town hall, a rent party, a fish-fry, the honky-tonk piano in
the whore house, the union meeting There was no real money in it. A
performer was lucky to be fed, get drunk and get laid." The
photographs have little to do with the conventional iconography of
the birth of rock and roll: conspicuously absent are pictures of
young white men in Memphis, poodle skirts, Alan Freed and Bill
Haley's Brylcream. These photographs instead document and celebrate
the pure but indefinable essence of rocking. Ordinary, anonymous
men, women and childrensome white, some blackare holding guitars
and strumming while looking relaxed or frantic, but nearly always
blissful. Some of the action takes place in rural fields, some in
dance halls, some at civic events, some in living rooms and
basements. Wherever there was an urge to make acoustic or electric
musicwhether to help at a rent party, busk in front of a crowd or
testify in the name of Jesusthere was an uncredited photographer
there to snap an image, and these are the photographs that comprise
Linderman's fascinating narrative.

Alvin Langdon Coburn Fundacion Mapfre 2015 ISBN 9788498444988
Acqn 24963 Hb 22x25cm 296pp 200ills 100col 51 A key American
Pictorialist and a crucial innovator in abstract photography; Alvin
Langdon Coburn is a fascinating but often neglected figure in the
history of American modernism. As early as 1909, Coburn was making
futuristic depictions of New York and Pittsburgh, anticipating
modernist architectural photography's classic "bird's-eye" view. In
1912, in New York, working with the Cubist artist-poet Max Weber,
he developed this idiom a step further, photographing New York from
the pinnacles of skyscrapers. The following year he published Men
of Mark, which featured portraits of authors, artists and
statesmen, including Henri Matisse, Henry James, Mark Twain and
Theodore Roosevelt. In 1914 Coburn relocated to London,
participating in the British Vorticist movement, led by Wyndham
Lewis and Ezra Pound; Coburn's series of multiple exposures and
"Vortographs" were the first truly abstract photographs. So why is
Coburn not better known today? After 1920 he deliberately withdrew
from the photo world (though he never gave up photography) and
retired to rural Wales, where he immersed himself in painting,
music composition and Freemasonry. In the 1950s he was rediscovered
and championed by Beaumont and Nancy Newhall of George Eastman
House, to which he bequeathed almost 20,000 prints and negatives
along with cameras, correspondence and ephemera. This beautiful
volume, published to accompany a show at George Eastman House and
drawing on a wide range of public and private collections, reveals
his work and legacy for a new generation.

Dennis Feldman - Holywood Boulevard 1969-1972 Circle Of Fire
2015 ISBN 9780986204500 Acqn 25072 Hb 29x36cm 90pp 37ills 39 For
three years, between 1969 and 1972, Dennis Feldman (born 1946)
repeatedly walked an eight-block stretch from Hollywood and Vine to
the Chinese Theater, called the Walk of Fame, where people flocked
to gaze at a sidewalk full of terrazzo stars inlaid with the names
of famous (and no longer famous) entertainers. Hollywood may have
been exclusive, but Hollywood Boulevard was not: here, drawn to the
world of stardom, the masses gathered to parade their looks, and
Feldman photographed them. Macho or gay, masculine or feminine,
beatniks or hippies-the Walk of Fame, Feldman found, was American
identity performance at its most visible. Hollywood Boulevard
compiles the photographer's large-format, black-and-white
portraits, which are testament to a world dizzy with the effects of
the 60s social revolution. The portraits are more than clever
social commentary: each is painfully human, the grasps at
performance not just ridiculous, but eerily universal.

Daido Moriyama - Record 27 Akio Nagasawa 2015 no ISBN Acqn 24550
Pb 21x28cm 120pp 61ills 35col 37 The photographs featured in this
instalment were taken by Daido Moriyama during a recent stay in
Hong Kong. Over a period of four days, he roamed the streets and,
true to form, shot whatever caught his attention. He reflects upon
his time there through the lens of current events, with the mass
protests in Hong Kongs streets making headlines and pointing to a
long-simmering sense of disquiet and distrust that finally reached
a boiling point. When making photographs, the distance between the
photographer and the subject always contains some critical and
delicate issues beyond imagination.

Matsue has photographed the varied surfaces of the earth around the
world: mountains, deserts, forests and cities. In these birds-eye
landscapes, light falls uniformly across the surface, eliminating
shadows and natural contrasts, resulting in emotionally flat
images. The minuteness of detail, however, opens new realms of
perception to the human eye. Since 2010, he has also begun to
produce videos, which blur the border between still and moving
images. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at Izu Photo
Museum, this book includes about 50 primarily recent pieces and
several video works. Includes an interview with Matsue and text by
Minoru Shimizu.

concrete structures, nature somehow finds its way to fight back.
This reminds us that our concrete jungle eventually would have to

Romains images of sprouting flowers and maturing trees on unlikely
places. Focusing solely on the phenomena of trees sprouting from
residential buildings in the busy districts of Hong Kong, Wild
Concrete compares the living conditions between plants and humans

13.50 In 2004, four members of Salvo began their education in
photography at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. Theo van
Dusseldorp, a master of the mediums technical aspects, was their
professor for several years. Although photography is traditionally
considered a medium balancing art and technique, few publications
explicitly show their mutual interaction. Here, the intimate
relation that exists between art and technique, between
advertisement and science, is articulated through a selection of
the over 25,000 Polaroids Van Dusseldorp made between 1978 and 2001
as studies for his product photos. He recently gave them to Salvo,
who were free to use them as they saw fit.

Pb 26x39cm 32pp 39ills 30col 13.50 Although photography is
inherently considered to be an objective medium, nevertheless a
picture almost always involves scaling. It seems that we have
become accustomed to interpreting photos - recognition and scaling
of depicted objects is an automatic response to seeing photographs.
This issue of 'Salvo' shines a light on the duality of actual
representation. Every photograph inside this publication is either
printed on the same size as the object that is photographed, or is
a study on how to achieve this actual representation.

photographer Leonard Fink lived and worked in New York City,
documenting over 25 years of its gay life, including pride parades,
bars, and especially the decaying architecture of the West Side
piers, which served as a space for gay men to interact socially and
sexually. From the mid-1970s onwards, Fink captured this time of
empowerment, cruising, sexual freedom, and openness and
experimentation, and his large collection of photographs has proven
to be a significant and engaging visual record of the citys gay
subculture before the rise of HIV/AIDS would forever change it.
This publication marks the first time Finks images have come

Stefanie Moshammer - Vegas And She Fotohof 2015 ISBN
9783902993137 Acqn 25036 Hb 22x28cm 112pp 57col ills 26.50 Austrian
photographer Stefanie Moshammers recent project Vegas and She" led
her to the underbelly of Nevadas shimmering city, Las Vegas. The
places she takes her camera to are stark, shiny dreamworlds they
take us away from reality and are somewhere between illusion,
desire and fantasy. With its backdrop of a burning desert, this
man-made oasis encompasses so many worlds standing at odds with one
another, that the resulting feeling is that of an eerie Western
mecca. In this ambiguous world, her protagonists are Striptease
dancers, the ones who keep Vegas moving, keep it pushing, the
inside that keeps alive the outside. Portraying the world behind
the shiny facade of Vegas, with its constructed settings and
beguiling scenery, the series of images for Vegas and She appear as
a stark contrast to the glitz usually associated with that place.
Her pictures are raw and wild, but at the same time poetic and
dreamlike a version of a bitter sweetness, translated into the
series of 'Vegas and She.

2007 and composed of graphic designer Yoshihisa Tanaka and sculptor
Ryuta Iida. The former builds the conceptual framework of their
output, while the latter carves it into being. In this case, the
results of this collaboration are thickly layered portraits of a
single subject photographed for the duration of several minutes.
The outcome of this process is 200 images, which then are printed,
bound and then sheared off, layer by layer, to produce the final,
dizzying portrait. Thus the identity revealed in these portraits is
not permanent, but rather one that remains in continuous flux,
produced both by the passage of time and Nerhols own whims.

or to spend the first 15 years of your life pretending to be a boy?
How does it feel to be one of the first skateboarders in a country,
and at the same time a girl in a conservative Muslim society? In a
nation divided along ethnic and gender lines, how do art, education
and skateboarding intersect to create new possibilities for change?
Skateistan The Tale of Skateboarding in Afghanistan shares the
strange and beautiful intersection of traditional Afghan society
and a new generation of Afghan skateboarders and artists. Through a
balanced mix of words and photographs, the book pieces together the
tale of grassroots NGO Skateistan, which since 2009 has brought
skateboarding, creative arts, and new education opportunities to
girls and boys in Kabul, Afghanistan. The NGO has been able to
replicate its unique project model in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and
Mazar-e-Sharif, Afghanistan. 'Skateistan' gives a rare, in-depth
look into the lives of exceptional young Afghans facing incredible
challenges and giving new life to a city that has been ravaged by

spent nearly a half century photographing their own environment,
which yielded a highly personal and intimate oeuvre. Yet their work
was also often experimental and, unusual for the Netherlands, often
