Becoming Photography
"Monograph dedicated to Chuck Samuels. Becoming Photography covers thirty years of career and was produced in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name presented at EXPRESSION and at PLEIN SUD in the winter of 2021. This publication features two essays that examine the work of Chuck Samuels: "The Hidden Face of Photography" by Mona Hakim, and "Histories and Counterhistories" ("Historias y contrahistorias") by Joan Fontcuberta. Hakim, Samuels's close collaborator, looks at each of the series that he has produced throughout his career. True to form, Fontcuberta "tracks" the presence of truth and falsehood in Samuels's work. Together, they not only cast an exhaustive gaze at his work but explore the issues inherent to photography as a medium."--
Scissors, Paper, Stone
Finalist: Raymond Klibansky Book Prize Humanities and Social Sciences Federation of Canada (2008) Making a connection between photography and memory is almost automatic. Should it be? In Scissors, Paper, Stone Martha Langford explores the nature of memory and art. She challenges the conventional emphasis on the camera as a tool of perception by arguing that photographic works are products of the mind - picturing memory is, first and foremost, the expression of a mental process.

Scissors, Paper, Stone explores the great variety of photographic art produced by Canadian artists as expressions of memory. Their work, including images by Carl Beam, Carole Condé and Karl Beveridge, Donigan Cumming, Stan Denniston, Robert Houle, Robert Minden, Michael Snow, Diana Thorneycroft, Jeff Wall, and Jin-me Yoon, is presented as part of a rich interdisciplinary study of contemporary photography and how it has shaped modern memory.

The Revolt of the Young is a collection of essays originally published in 1984 that shows al-Hakim as a public intellectual addressing the ongoing conflict between generations.
