[View this email in your browser]( [photo-eye] PHOTOBOOK WEEKLY May 11, 2024 BESTSELLER --------------------------------------------------------------- Portraits to Dream In Francesca Woodman & Julia Margaret Cameron Living and working over a century apart, British photographer Julia Margaret Cameron and American photographer Francesca Woodman experienced vastly different ways of making and understanding images. Yet the two share more similarities than expected. Both artists had brief careers lasting less than 15 years; while neither enjoyed popularity and success during their lives, they have posthumously received widespread acclaim. Their portraits feature ethereal, experimental qualities that connect them soundly across time.

Maybe it weeps so much for all the poison here.” The above quote, relayed to Lucas Olivet by Prince George resident Randy Dakota, was the inspiration for the title of this book which is centered around the capital of northern BC: the title a testimony, a tribute, a prayer.

Flames ripping through cavernous interiors; tearing holes through stained glass; felling steeples, bell towers, and domes. An abundance of fire. Firefighters battle in vain. Vast arcs of water appear as if trickles against the towering walls of flame. Locals, members of the congregation, and passersby look on in shock, the inferno illuminating their faces a sickly red. News crews rush to the scene to secure the most dramatic angle. In time, the structures tumble to the ground. The rubble smoulders for days.

The current image glut fills every conceivable vacuum, mostly via screens. This may seem like a condition of the times, but before this wave came an analogue precursor. The early 20th century enjoyed its own photographic Big Bang, as cameras, film, and print technologies became widely accessible and affordable for the first time. Small photographs, postcards, and drugstore snapshots spewed off in all directions like primordial particles. The aftershocks still reverberate today in flea markets, albums, garage sales, and basement boxes..." — Blake Andrews [Read ther full review]( [Order Dead Ringer]( NEW ARRIVALS --------------------------------------------------------------- Pig Feng Li Pig reveals a more intimate and sensitive aspect of Feng Li’s work, chronicling his pig’s journey as it grows into an adult. Here the photographer shares images of he and his wife’s expanded family, which at one time consisted of three cats, a parrot, and a pig that had been abandoned by its previous owner, all living together in one house. Full of kindness, humour, contentment, and of course animal antics, the pictures reveal the close relationship that developed between the pig and its human caretakers.

Was it a biological anomaly, an apparition, a portentous sign, or all the above? The visitation of this ghostly entity prompted a season of reverie; in the dimming twilight, as the vulpine creature darted in and out sight, Durant reconsidered his own life narratives, and questioned his insatiable desire to photographically capture the otherworldly visitor...
