Book Description
Jay Maisel, hailed as one of the most brilliant, gifted photographers of all time, is much more than that. He is a mentor, teacher, and trailblazer to many photographers, and a hero to those who feel Jay’s teaching has changed the way they see and create their own photography. He is a living legend whose work is studied around the world, and whose teaching style and presentation garner standing ovations and critical acclaim every time he takes the stage. Now, for the first time ever, Jay puts his amazing insights and learning moments from a lifetime behind the lens into a book that communicates the three most important aspects of street photography: light, gesture, and color. Each page unveils something new and challenges you to rethink everything you know about the bigger picture of photography. This isn’t a book about f-stops or ISOs. It’s about seeing. It’s about being surrounded by the ordinary and learning how to find the extraordinary. It’s about training your mind, and your eyes, to see and capture the world in a way that delights, engages, and captivates your viewers, and there is nobody that communicates this, visually or through the written word, like Jay Maisel. Light, Gesture & Color is the seminal work of one of the true photographic geniuses of our time, and it can be your key to opening another level of understanding, appreciation, wonder, and creativity as you learn to express yourself, and your view of the world, through your camera. If you’re ready to break through the barriers that have held your photography back and that have kept you from making the types of images you’ve always dreamed of, and you’re ready to learn what photography is really about, you’re holding the key in your hands at this very moment.

Crazy Is My Superpower
Author: A. J. Mendez
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 045149668X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
The New York Times Bestseller Recently retired WWE superstar AJ Mendez Brooks is a powerhouse—strong, quirky, and totally confident. But that wasn’t always the case. With humor and tremendous heart, she opens up for the first time about her harrowing struggle to understand her demons and the diagnosis that helped her gain control over her life. Everything I was told should be my greatest insecurities and weaknesses, everything that I’ve been labeled—SHORT, NERDY, SKINNY, WEAK, IMPULSIVE, UGLY, TOMBOY, POOR, REBEL, LOUD, FREAK, CRAZY—turned out to be my greatest strengths. I didn’t become successful in spite of them. I became successful because of them. Growing up AJ was a quiet girl trying to act “normal” when she felt anything but. As her family struggled with drug addiction, poverty, and mental illness, she found escape through comic books and video games, and was inspired by the tough and unconventional female characters. It wasn’t until she discovered pro wrestling that she learned superheroes could be real. Determined to become the superhero she’d always admired, AJ trained and sacrificed for years to achieve her dream of wrestling professionally. Yet she quickly faced industry pressure to play the role of the damsel in distress and to dress more provocatively to cater to male fans. But she fought back and created an ass-kicking alter ego that was a genuine representation of herself: nerdy, enthusiastic, and a little bit crazy. With humor and tremendous heart, AJ opens up for the first time about her harrowing struggle to understand her demons and the mental illness diagnosis that helped her gain control over her life. What most people view as a hardship, AJ embraced as inspiration for her superhero persona, shattering the stigma attached to mental illness. Charting her journey from a scrappy girl in an unstable home to an empowered wrestling champion, Crazy Is My Superpower is an unflinchingly honest story and brave confessional about her long road to self-acceptance.

War Photography
Author: John Taylor
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 100025934X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
What makes news patriotic? How is photojournalism used in wartime? In a national crisis, the press operates under various forms of censorship. Within these constraints, it continues to produce news in line with what is considered newsworthy. Everyday ‘human interest’ photographs and stories, which tell of bizarre, comic or tragic events, are turned to patriotic ends. The subject of death is transformed by its use in saving the nation; it is accompanied and displaced by more comforting ideas. Originally published in 1991, with the help of full-page illustrations from newspapers and journals, John Taylor looks at the special truth of war news, how it is built on established ways of storytelling, and how photography is used to make it seem real. Taking examples from the First and Second World Wars, the Falklands campaign and present-day accounts of terrorism and crime within the United Kingdom, Taylor shows that aside from legal controls, the press’s own methods bring it close to the official perspective. Drawing on history, sociology and photo-history, War Photography is a well-illustrated account of the place of photojournalism in the news industry and the use of news in creating national identity.

The Tuskegee Airmen History And Chronology In Text And Photographs
Author: Jeffrey Jones
Publisher: Jeffrey Frank Jones
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
CONTENTS By CHAPTER: A History Of The Tuskegee Airmen Tuskegee Airmen Chronology News Stories Historic Photographs INTRODUCTION The Tuskegee Airmen were the first black pilots in American military history, those who were stationed at the bases where they trained or from which they flew, those who belonged to the organizations to which the pilots belonged, or those who belonged to the support organizations for those flying units. The pilots were called Tuskegee Airmen because they trained at airfields around Tuskegee during World War II. The Tuskegee Airmen Incorporated uses the term DOTA (Documented Original Tuskegee Airman) to define anyone, “man or woman, military or civilian, black or white, officer or enlisted,” who served at any of the air bases at which the Tuskegee-trained pilots trained or flew, or in any of the Army Air Force units “stemming from the ‘Tuskegee Experience’ between the years 1941 and 1949.” The Tuskegee experience began in 1941, when the first military black flying unit was activated, and ended in 1949, when the last segregated all-black flying units were inactivated. Certainly there have been a great many black pilots who have served in the Air Force since 1949, but unless they served in Tuskegee Airmen units or at Tuskegee Airmen bases between the years 1941 and 1949, they were not technically Tuskegee Airmen. There were no “second-generation Tuskegee Airmen,” because during the years 1941-1949, there were no fathers and sons who both took part in the program.
