"First published in late 2007, New York-based photographer Paul Graham's A Shimmer of Possibility was hailed as "one of the most important advances in contemporary photographic practice that has taken place in a long while" and was said to "redefine what a photobook can be." Inspired by Chekhov's short stories, the book is a series of photographic vignettes--taken from 2004-2006--of quotidian moments in contemporary American life, which Graham occasionally punctuates with the sublime. For example, there is an image of a man mowing his lawn while it begins to rain and the sun illuminates each drop. These filmic haiku avoid summation; life simply flows past, enveloping the viewer in its beauty"- from the publisher.

''Anthony Hernandez's "Pictures for Rome" (1998-99), made while he was a fellow at the American Academy, make no reference to any iconic images of that historic city and its famous edifices. Instead, these elegantly disturbing color photographs examine what could be considered a series of unofficial urban monuments composed from the distressed architectural elements and detritus found inside abandoned buildings..."Pictures for Rome" are pictures of haunted places. Whether they chronicle the bones and viscera of an aborted commercial structure or never-finished hospital, a vacant housing complex or long-deserted schoolhouse, these images engage the ghostly relic of urban renewal, the failed construction projects and real estate disasters that conjure modernism's less glamorous side. And they remind us that even in Rome, the mother city, everything is disposable... "Pictures for Rome" are not, in other words, the same thing as pictures… Read More

4to.; illustrated throughout in black-and-white; scattered foxing to top textblock, endpapers and text pages; white paper covered boards printed in black; pictorial dust-jacket printed in grey and black with foxing on interior flaps; additional mylar cover added for protection. Photojournalist Haruo Tomiyama's images show strong ties to the expressive symbolism found in the postwar work of Shomei Tomatsu. Their intimate look at Japanese society during the 8-year period from 1962-1970 seeks to uncover the small and subtle details in daily activities in a newly modernized urban Japan. Covering a wide range of old and new traditions, events and places, Tomiyama's images portray a Japan in transition: from the volatile anti-Anpo demonstrations to a group of older men soaking in a traditional "onsen" bath. Many of the photographs published in this monograph originally appeared in two commissioned photojournalism series: "Gendai Gokan" (1964-66) for Asahi Journal and "Human Flowers" (1967-68) for Camera… Read More
