Description
En el mundo contemporáneo las apariencias han sustituido a la realidad. No obstante, la fotografía, una tecnología históricamente al servicio de la verdad, sigue ejerciendo una función de mecanismo ortopédico de la conciencia moderna: la cámara no miente, toda fotografía es una evidencia. A partir de vivencias personales, el autor crítica esta creencia y reflexiona sobre aspectos fundamentales de la creación y de la cultura actual.

El cambio de paradigma tecnológico al que la fotografía se ha visto sometida en los últimos años no sólo ha puesto de nuevo de manifiesto la naturaleza fotográfica de nuestra cultura, sino que ha zarandeado algunos de los fundamentos que parecían formar parte indisociable de lo fotográfico. A través del estilo desenfadado e irónico que siempre ha caracterizado a Joan Fontcuberta, La cámara de Pandora aborda la refundación de este medio...

En la primera década del siglo XXI, una premiada imagen del fotoperiodista Javier Bauluz y otra de Clemente Bernad protagonizaron dos sonadas polémicas. Sin entrar en el fondo del debate, Joan Fontcuberta interpreta las razones esgrimidas, camufladas bajo un manto de indiferencias cruzadas. ¿Es la cámara indiferente al suceso fotografiado? ¿Se puede fotografiar la indiferencia? ¿Pueden fotógrafo y modelo mantenerse indiferentes? ¿Es la fotografía...

Description
To Texans, barbecue is elemental. Succulent, savory, perfumed with smoke and spice, it transcends the term "comfort food." It's downright heavenly, and it's also a staff of Texas life. Like a dust storm or a downpour, barbecue is a force of Texas nature, a stalwart tie to the state's cultural and culinary history. Though the word is often shortened to "BBQ," the tradition of barbecue stands Texas-tall. Photographer Wyatt McSpadden has spent some twenty...

El alcance de las reflexiones de John Berger es tan diverso como sustancial e influyente. En 1972, Berger revolucionó la teoría del arte con el programa televisivo Ways of Seeing, que posteriormente se publicaría en el célebre libro homónimo Modos de ver. Poco después aparecieron Mirar y Otra manera de contar y, en paralelo, la obra artística y literaria de Berger. La presente antología viene a llenar un vacío en la publicación de su obra...

Beginning in 1847, Henry David Thoreau made three trips to the mostly unexplored Maine woods. Along the way he recorded his observations on the wildlife (flora and fauna), the weather, terrain, and on the nature of the people he met along the way, including loggers, rivermen, and his Abnaki guides. In Thoreau's Maine Woods, photographer Dan Tobyne captures the essence of the Maine Thoreau discovered and described in his book. The combination of short...

This advocate of equality for women combined an artistic vision of photography with determination and a love of adventure to forge a distinguished career spanning half a century. Originally trained...

Rocker Rod Stewart, Jackson says, had it wrong when he titled his breakthrough album Every Picture Tells a Story. Pictures don't tell stories-but many of them call to mind stories or have stories about their making.
Throughout his sixty-year career as folklorist, ethnographer, criminologist, filmmaker, and journalist, Bruce Jackson has taken photographs of family, friends, people he worked with, people he studied, and people he encountered. Ways...

"Mensajes al poblador rural. Más de setenta años en el aire de la Patagonia" es sin duda el mejor ensayo fotográfico que he visto en mucho tiempo. Una idea original, una edición impecable y una construcción del mensaje sin igual. Sólo alguien paciente y observador como Jorge puede encontrar y conjugar estas dos piezas clave para construir el relato. Por un lado, los mensajes de cientos de pobladores patagónicos que, aislados de todo, se conectan...

Traveling in Wonder is not your typical travel journal turned book-it's not even a travel guide. Instead, Traveling in Wonder: A Travel Photographer's Tales of Wanderlust reads like a letter from Autumn to the many countries she's visited, first as a student traveling abroad, then as a flight attendant, a travel agent, and more recently, a travel photographer.
With a gift for storytelling, Autumn invites the reader into what she was experiencing...

First settled by Stephen F. Austin's colonists in the early nineteenth century, Colorado County has deep roots in Texas history. Mainly rural and agrarian until late in the twentieth century, Colorado County was a cotton-growing region whose population was about evenly divided between blacks and whites. These life-long neighbors led separate and unequal lives, memories of which still linger today. To preserve those memories, Patsy Cravens began interviewing...

A collection of gorgeous photographs depicting the loving bond between humans and various species of animals.
John Drysdale's photographs are exciting, tender, hilarious, often exhilarating, but for more than the obvious reasons. Certainly, it's not every day that one sees a lion that's befriended a Boston terrier. Maybe elephants don't usually go fishing, and parrots generally don't tend to lounge around in beach chairs, next to their human companions....
