[Book Signing]( [Order Signed Copies]( PRE-ORDERS  Soft Eyes Henry Wessel, Austin Leong & Adrian Martinez "Soft eyes", the late Henry Wessel once wrote in describing the way he went about looking for photographs, “is a physical sensation. You are not looking for something. You are open, receptive. At some point you are in front of something that you cannot ignore.” In this smart and tender act of homage, Wessel’s photographs (many of them previously unpublished) are combined with the work of two younger California photographers, Austin Leong and Adrian Martinez, and the resulting work is a surprising exploration of influence as well as a study of the sorts of connective tissue that provide a throughline in photography’s long and fascinating history of lineage. [Soft Eyes](  Gure Bazterrak Our Land Anne Rearick In the distance, there's the ocean. But here, it's the land of high, rounded mountains, of rivers, of pastures. Of those who cross, share and tend it. This land is the Basque hinterland. Straddling France and Spain, nestled between the Pyrenees and the Bay of Biscay, it's a proud land of wild beauty, often fantasized about and surrounded by a mystical mist, as if to better protect it from foreign eyes.

The world outside the windows of Wywrot’s space station/apartment looks both distant and desolate and incredibly beautiful, almost devoid of a human presence.

In a cumulative sequence of images, Sheikh presents a visceral portrait of the damage caused to the Great Salt Lake and its surrounding areas by intensive extraction of its natural resources for industrial use, in particular the processing of magnesium, and the resulting pollution of its waters by chemical waste.

Fine with previous owner's inscription in Good dust jacket in a protective library sleeve. In the mid-1980s, Stu Levy began making “grid-portraits” in order to overcome his his frustration with traditional portraiture’s limited point of view. These constructs of photographs, consisting of twelve to twenty-five individual images, scan the architecture and flow of time in a subject’s living or working environment. The resulting portraits, usually of artists, craftspeople and musicians, are made in the subjects’ studios or living spaces and serve as a backstage tour of the artist’s mind and creative process.
