“Photojournalists were swept along by the firestorms of change:” A Look at 1989 by the NPPA

The Best of Photojournalism Vol.15 by presented by The National Press Photographers Association and The University of Missouri School of Journalism

January 28, 2023 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

I love photojournalism a lot and so have collected the majority of this series. These books came out from the mid 1970s until the early 2000s, and the Best of Photojournalism contest still goes on although they seem not to do the physical books anymore. This 15th volume covers the 1989 competition, which was a very strong year in terms of world events — the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Tienanmen Square protests and massacre, the overthrow of Ceausescu, etc. The book is split […]

“It’s not circus if it isn’t under a tent.”

Through Sun, Rain, Wind, and Mud: On the Road with Cole Bros. Circus by Bill Carter

August 9, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

CBR14Bingo: Camel (the camel is an exotic animal, and there are photos of exotic animals in this book) The title’s sentiment isn’t one I completely agree with, having seen great circus in an arena setting, but the experience of sitting in a tent does elevate the experience and bring a more elemental feeling. I recently got to see Paul Binder talk about the circus and he pointed out the core nature of a round ring, and that there is a fundamental power in sitting in […]

An Underdeveloped Look a AI-Human Relationships

Pixels of You by Ananth Hirsh, Yuko Ota, and J.R. Doyle

February 7, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

I’ve been following Ananth Hirsh and Yuko Ota’s work for years (I really love their autobio comics), so I preordered this and promptly forgot I did that until it showed up in the mail today. It’s nice to give yourself little presents in the future like that, and preordering really helps the authors. Overall, though, I found this to be a bit of a disappointment when compared to their other work. Fawn and Indira are interns at a photography gallery, and their first meeting is […]

Midwestern High End but how Representational Is it?

Dishing Up Minnesota by Teresa Marrone

January 15, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Imagine a regional cookbook that includes recipes from that region but also from farms/mills/markets/etc and from various cultures related to the region, with some background and history to help connect everything; that’s Dishing Up Minnesota. I may be biased, having been born and raised in that state, but it also means that I actually know something about the food culture of that part of the country. Some ingredient and recipes are obvious necessities, such as a wild rice soup, at least one or two walleye […]

Manly Men Doing Manly Things

The Painter of Battles by Arturo Perez-Reverte

November 3, 2021 by elderberrywine Leave a Comment

It didn’t take too long for me to realize who this author reminded me of.  Not particularly his style, but more his content.  Hemingway.  Coming from me, that is not a complement. Faulques is a professional photographer who specializes in the battlefield.  In Serbia, he photographs a young Croatian fighter, Markovik, and the picture wins a prestigious award, and is also published widely.  Unfortunately, it also makes Markovik himself famous, and his wife and child are killed.  Thus, he is searching for Faulques.  Meanwhile, Faulques […]

Book Cover: taste the wild

Recipes and Stories from Canada would be enough

Taste the Wild by Lisa Nieschlag, Lars Wentrup

September 11, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

Bingo 20: Landscape As the cover (pictured above) suggests, this book is about Canada (see wooded landscape in mists) in terms of food (it’s part cookbook) and character (it’s part excerpted prose bits from travel and fiction stories, and photography collection too). I can see how all of this could fit together, except that it doesn’t quite work out. The photos are gorgeous but the sentimental/philosophical sayings accompanying them are so out of context that to me at least they come off as either hollow […]
