Book Description
Ever since my teenage years, I’ve had a great desire to travel and find adventure. Using the camera to attain these goals, I have had some of the greatest adventures of my life. My life has been forever by the cultural influences and people I’ve encountered in my travels. The images I’ve taken are magical to me, and it is my hope that viewers will observe the uniqueness in each one. This goal is the basis for the collection, Desaturated Soul. Loneliness is a common motif in portraits and landscapes. I Took most of the photographs during the last ten years, a period of great change in my life. My children were on their own, and I had more free time. Feelings of loneliness sometimes crept into my world. Photography filled that void and brought me great joy. Black and white photography is soulful and exudes emotion. It’s another language, with a special beauty of its own. Such fundamentally different images as portraits, landscapes, and the surreal are included in the book. By combining photographs with text, I’ve attempted to create a specific mood. Exposing my soul to the world has been exhilarating, yet at the same time a bit frightening However, these visuals and the written word complement each other and comprise the final work. Drawing on inspiration from the photographs, I am highly motivated to write. Instinct is the tool that tells me whether or not to commit to a photograph. Something strikes me in an instant and I’m ready to go. My goal is to capture the feeling of the moment so as to evoke the viewer’s emotional reaction. The photographer is much like a psychologist, studying the complexity of human nature and understanding human emotion. My response to mannequin photography is much the same as my response to human photography. Although the mannequins are not real, I see something in their faces or an expression that seems real. Giving them life through photography is quite exciting. Feelings for particular landscapes operate in a similar fashion. There’s a gut feeling to photograph, something I feel in the depths of my soul. I feel the sun and the lay of the land. The cliff dwellings, for example, bring to mind the “Ancients”, the Anasazi, who left the areas where they once thrived. The reasons for their departure are unknown, and their lifestyle must have been remarkable. Photographing up close creates a personal connection between the photographer and the subject. An observer might take a second look as he studies the image. In that way, he is also taking a second look at the artist, who projects his personality onto the work. When reaching into a person’s soul with the camera’s lens, one feels his strength or weakness. To feel the beauty and spirit of the land creates excitement in landscape photography. I would like to touch people and have them feel as they have never felt before. Some might feel a connection to the biker’s strength or to the love surrounding eighty-two year old Maria. The photographs introduce thought-provoking ideas, allowing the viewer to form a greater understanding of his or her own feelings. Capturing only a small portion of what the world has to offer is my accomplishment. Given that there are so many more unique faces and places to see, there is much work to be done. My goal is to continue exploring the unusual and exotic with the camera.

Book Description
On the Conflicts of the Child's Soul (original title "Über Konflikte der kindlichen Seele") was first published inside the Jahrbuch fur psychoanalytische und psychopathologische foschungen which included essays by Bleuler and Freud. It illustrates his further departure from the Freudian school of thought and his exploration into the deeper and broader aspects of the human psyche. Jung believed that children naturally gravitate towards certain symbols and myths as part of their psychological development, a perspective he would elaborate on more in his later works on the collective unconscious and archetypes. Unlike Freud, who emphasized childhood experiences and especially early sexual experiences as the dominant forces shaping the personality, Jung introduced the notion that children also possess innate ideas – precursors to his later, more refined concept of archetypes. He suggests that these are universally present and influence the child's experience of the world. This edition is a new translation with an Afterword by the Translator, a philosophic index of Jung's terminology and a timeline of his life and works. Jung's interest in child psychology primarily stems from his broader focus on individuation—the process by which a person becomes differentiated from their unconscious and integrates their personality into a cohesive whole. In addressing childhood conflicts, Jung would likely emphasize the role of archetypal influences and the developmental impact of the early family environment. He suggests that early experiences shape the unconscious, and unresolved conflicts from this period manifest in adult life through neuroses. Jung also highlights the child's inner world, where external events (e.g., parental conflicts or social pressures) are internalized, leading to psychological struggles between different aspects of the self, such as between the ego and the unconscious. This mirrors the theoretical framework outlined in his other works where he explores the dynamics between consciousness and the unconscious. In Beitrage zur Symbolik des Selbst, for instance, Jung discusses how the self is not just the conscious "I" (the ego) but a larger whole that includes unconscious elements. The development of the child's ego, and its eventual integration with the unconscious, would be a process fraught with these early conflicts. In this essay, Jung explores the psychological conflicts experienced by children, challenging the idea that only adults face significant psychological dilemmas. He argues that children are deeply affected by their emotional environments, particularly through their relationships with their parents. Jung suggests that these early conflicts can have a lasting impact on the child's development and may lead to psychological issues later in life. This work is important for its contribution to developmental psychology and for laying the groundwork for understanding the impact of childhood experiences on the formation of complexes.

Book Description
This richly informed study analyzes how various cinematic tools and techniques have been used to create horror on screen--the aesthetic elements, sometimes not consciously noticed, that help to unnerve, frighten, shock or entertain an audience. The first two chapters define the genre and describe the use of pragmatic aesthetics (when filmmakers put technical and budgetary compromises to artistic effect). Subsequent chapters cover mise-en-scene, framing, photography, lighting, editing and sound, and a final chapter is devoted to the aesthetic appeals of horror cinema. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Book Description
There are hot-spots, sink-holes, and hell-holes all over the earth. They move around a bit. Baghdad in Iraq has been often a hot-spot, Kabul in Afghanistan is another. Then there's the sink-hole of Tehran in Iran, together with the recently war-torn Damascus in Syria. Don't blame the places, nor even the folks. New York in the USA, London in the UK, and Brussels in the EU are no different for being sometimes politically-sinking hot-spots or terrorist-targeted hell-holes. In terms of prophetic history, a welter of the world's biggest cities are everyday battlegrounds from which governmental academics compartmentalise their own specialist solutions. Most of these solutions, whether military or civic, fall so far short of the cosmic solution as to escalate the existing state of world disorder. Sure enough, without a barebones history of hell there's no point to fixing up hell-holes. Without the briefest history of heaven, it's also pointless to shore-up sink-holes. And as for the world's hot-spots, you have to look as deep into the souls of the good-guys as you do into the souls of the bad-guys. But you can't just walk off from compartmentalising a problem and expect it to sort itself out. For a workable solution you've got to bring back all the component parts together again that you first took apart and make them work together. That's exactly why this Soul-Catcher's Calling stops at nothing short of dealing with all things both under the sun and beyond the sun. Soul-catching is a military operation, at first under command, and then undertaken entirely by personal commitment. All such tours of duty overseas will be carefully monitored and guided by the most experienced of guardian angels. However perilous the front-line travel, none who seriously commit themselves to this soul-catching operation shall get left behind.

Book Description
Undeath is a manageable condition. That's what the media says, anyway: with the help of the miracle life-extension drug, Lazarus, the Undead can retain their humanity and live normal, happy lives. Without it, they become violent, mindless walking corpses. Davin Montoya was eager to believe all of that. Forced to drop out of college to take care of his teenage sister, Zoe, after their father drank himself to death, he was more than happy to sign the no-good alcoholic over to the government's Lazarus House for treatment. That was one less thing for him to worry about. Until an accident left him joining the ranks of the freshly deceased himself. Now, keeping his death a secret is the only way to keep his sister out of foster care. But to do so, he must venture into the underground society of Unregistered Undead - a dangerous world of drug deals and government resistance. But when their access to Lazarus begins to run dry, the truth starts to unravel...and it's not what anyone expected.

Book Description
Traditionally, scientific fields have defined boundaries, and scientists work on research problems within those boundaries. However, from time to time those boundaries get shifted or blurred to evolve new fields. For instance, the original goal of computer vision was to understand a single image of a scene, by identifying objects, their structure, and spatial arrangements. This has been referred to as image understanding. Recently, computer vision has gradually been making the transition away from understanding single images to analyz ing image sequences, or video understanding. Video understanding deals with understanding of video sequences, e. g. , recognition of gestures, activities, fa cial expressions, etc. The main shift in the classic paradigm has been from the recognition of static objects in the scene to motion-based recognition of actions and events. Video understanding has overlapping research problems with other fields, therefore blurring the fixed boundaries. Computer graphics, image processing, and video databases have obvious overlap with computer vision. The main goal of computer graphics is to gener ate and animate realistic looking images, and videos. Researchers in computer graphics are increasingly employing techniques from computer vision to gen erate the synthetic imagery. A good example of this is image-based rendering and modeling techniques, in which geometry, appearance, and lighting is de rived from real images using computer vision techniques. Here the shift is from synthesis to analysis followed by synthesis.
