The Figital Revolution
Are you disillusioned by the current photographic market? Frustrated by the absurd claims of analog and digital proponents alike? Ready to throw in the *%$#! towel? Then the Figital Revolution is for you. FIGITAL stands for the dynamic fusion of film and digital photographic technologies. The Figital Revolution transcends self-serving industry hype and old-fart conservatism to get at the real issues photographers face today: how did we get here? Is digital all it's cracked up to be? Why is film on life support? How can photographers create a sustainable art? Why do most photo magazines suck? The Figital Revolution is about all that and more. Remember: movement does not equal progress. Yes comrades- the revolution has begun!

Rome 1970's
ROME 1970's provides a view of Italian life in the central city during a transitional time. Specific events marked a shift from an innocent "dolce vita" existence to a more hardened reality. The death of artist Pasolini and his shocking final film, Sodom, the kidnapping and murder of the powerful political leader, Aldo Moro, followed by two popes departing- one elderly and the other a possible assassination victim, shook the fiber of Italy itself.

Stephen Johnson on Digital Photography
"We are in the Stone Age of digital photography. We've figured out how to make some tools, but it is just now beginning to dawn on us what we might do with them. I've often been frustrated at the concentration on the technical aspect of digital photography with so little discussion of the aesthetics and heart behind the image making. This book is essentially a distillation of what I've been teaching over the last 25 years." Master photographer Stephen Johnson has been taking beautiful landscape photography for decades, and teaching others the practical art of image making since 1977. While he started out with traditional film camera techniques, Johnson is widely recognized among his peers as...
Outsider Art
Outsider Art is the work produced outside the mainstream of modern art by self-taught, untrained visionaries, spiritualists, recluses, folk artists, psychiatric patients, prisoners and others beyond the imposed margins of society and the art market. Coined by Roger Cardinal in 1972, the term in English derived from Jean Dubuffets Art Brut literally raw art, uncooked by culture, unaffected by fashion, unmoved by artistic standards. In this comprehensive and indispensable guide, Colin Rhodes surveys the history and reception of Outsider Art first championed by Dubuffet and the Surrealists, now appreciated by a wider public while providing fresh insights into the achievements of both major figu...
Garmenting
"Garmenting: Costume as Contemporary Art centers on contemporary artists' explorations of how dress both expresses and shapes who we are-our personal, cultural, and political identities-and it is my hope that their work will help stimulate discussion and foster understanding during these troubled times. As the quintessential "outside the box" thinkers, artists have always been on the front lines of driving and processing social change; there is a reason cutting-edge art has long been referred to by a military term, "avant-garde." As society rebuilds, artists' insights about our world and how we inhabit it are more necessary than ever"--
