Into the Woods
An elegant introduction to the tree as photographic subject in more than 100 images. Wild or cultivated, rural or urban, solitary or within a forest, trees have long provided a compelling source of inspiration for artists and photographers alike. Both as stand-alone aesthetic objects and as symbols of broader cultural significance, trees have an understated, sometimes underappreciated, ability to evoke a deep, primal sense of wonder. Whether captured as functional botanical records or as a means of creative expression, Into the Woods is an elegant, informative introduction to the ways in which distinctive patterns of branch, bark, leaf, and root have continued to offer arresting subjects for photographers across the centuries. Including more than 100 photographs ranging from the nineteenth through the twenty-first century, supported by insightful commentaries and an introduction, Into the Woods illustrates the marvelous world of trees in photography.
CESMM3 Examples
Martin Barnes provides a comprehensive range of examples of diagrams and bills of quantities, based on Section 8, works classification, of CESMM3. The example bill pages illustrate the application of the rules of measurement in all 26 classes of CESMM3, and the diagrams include some helpful short cuts.
Cameraless Photography
This volume is a remarkable historical survey of photographic images created without a camera. Cameraless Photography presents a concise historical overview of photographic images created independently of a camera. It surveys the corresponding techniques—including photograms, chemigrams, luminograms, dye destruction prints, and more—used to create those images. The book features one hundred key images from more than one hundred and seventy years of history, ranging from the earliest experiments in chemical photography, such as those by Anna Atkins in the nineteenth century, through seminal avant-garde photograms of modernists such as Man Ray in the 1920s and 1930s to the latest digital processes by Susan Derges. Visually compelling, Cameraless Photography is an outstanding introduction to the significant cameraless processes used throughout the history of photography and the cameraless work of some of photography’s greatest names.
Shadow Catchers
The very first photographs of the nineteenth century were produced without the use of a camera. Today, having rediscovered camera-less techniques, a number of artists are using camera-less photography to create beautiful, startling images. Now available in an updated and fully revised edition, Shadow Catchers surveys the work of five leading practitioners – Pierre Cordier, Susan Derges, Adam Fuss, Garry Fabian Miller and Floris Neusüss – who, by casting shadows on light- sensitive paper or by chemically manipulating its surface, capture the presence of objects, figures or glowing light. The resulting pictures are consistently powerful, often with surreal effects and symbolic content. This is the first book to gather together the work of these key contemporary artists, revealing the technical processes and creative practices involved in their art. In an age of mass-produced imagery, Shadow Catchers offers a fascinating insight into a world of handcrafted photographs that are at once visually striking and intellectually stimulating.
The New Engineering Contract
The introduction of the New Engineering Contract (NEC) encourages a systematic approach to contracting which is multidisciplinary in nature and fully interlocked in form. The NEC is intended by its supporters to be more flexible and easier to use than any current leading traditional standard forms of contract. It is believed that these features reduce adversariality and disputes. The NEC seeks to achieve this aim primarily through co-operative management techniques and incentives built into the NEC's procedures. This commentary analyses and evaluates these and related claims of innovation. The New Engineering Contract: A legal commentary examines the background to the NEC, its design objecti...
Horst
"Little known within [Horst's] body of work ... is a set of 'photographic patterns', made by the photographer in the mid-1940s. Created from an unusual series of close-up photographs of botanical specimens, these photographic collages were intended for use in such commercial fields as textiles, wallpaper, plastics, ceramics, glass, bookbinding and jewellery. While nine of these collages were reproduced in Horst's Patterns from Nature (1949), the majority - rediscovered only recently - have gone unseen for decades. Written by photographic curator Martin Barnes, [this] brings together every known and complete example of these extraordinary works ... Beginning with a brief examination of Horst's life and career, the book explores the fascinating story behind the patterns' creation, investigating along the way the cultural and historical context in which Horst was working and the painstaking processes by which he brought the patterns into being"--Publisher's description.
