A Certain Alchemy | Photographs by Keith Carter
Lauded as "a transcendent realist" and "a poet of the ordinary," Keith Carter is an internationally acclaimed photographer whose work has been shown in over one hundred solo exhibitions in thirteen countries. At first finding his subjects in the familiar, yet exotic, places and people of his native East Texas, Carter has since expanded his range not only geographically, but also into realms of dreams and imagination, where objects of the mundane world open glimpses into ineffable realities. Here, he explores relationships that are timeless, enigmatic, and mythological. Drawing from the animal world, popular culture, folklore, and religion, Carter presents photographs that attempt to reflect hidden meanings in the real world. Accompanying the images is an introduction by Carter's friend and fellow photographer Bill Wittliff, who describes Carter's artistic journey and the epiphanies he has experienced. Patricia Carter, Keith's wife and muse, also offers her insights into the wellsprings of his work. Hardcover • 182 duotone photographs • 184 pages • 12 x 12 in. • $50 US • About the Book 
One day in November | Photographs by Jessica BackhausJessica Backhaus’ book is a tribute to Gisèle Freund on what would have been her 100th birthday in December 2008. The book One Day In November is a testament to the friendship between the great photographer and a young photography student in Paris during the 1990s. Intended as a posthumous birthday present, Backhaus compiled a collection of images that are meant to convey visually what Gisèle Freund taught her and what Gisèle meant to her. Freund herself, a former Magnum photographer, can certainly be considered as one of the great artistic and intellectual figures of the twentieth century whose impact can be traced to her photographic work and colorful biography. Hardcover • 1 B&W / 99 color photographs • 128 pages • 8.5 x 9.5 in. • $78.00 US • About the Book 
Who We Were | A Snapshot History of America
Since the birth of snapshots, Americans have used simple, inexpensive cameras to record their life stories. In the process, they have left behind millions of pictures that document the story of America. The book's authors — Michael Williams, Richard Cahan, and Nicholas Osborn — spent the past decade at flea markets and antique stores, and went online looking at more than a million family photos to find snapshots that tell America's story. The book begins in 1888 with the earliest snapshots and ends in 1972, when a NASA astronaut placed a cherished family snapshot on the moon. With 350 color and black-and-white photos, Who We Were shows a side of America not reflected in history or photography books: a racy, quirky, fun-loving nation. It shows real America. Hardcover • 350 B&W / color photographs • 240 pages • 10 x 9.75 in. • $45 US • About the Book |

Boarding House | Photographs by Roger Ballen For five years, the focus of Roger Ballen's photographic work has been a strange and alluring place near Johannesburg he calls the Boarding House. Ballen's photographs are like images from a waking dream, compelling and thought-provoking, formally sophisticated and filled with layers of rich detail. With their emphasis on drawn and sculptural elements, and the collaboration between the artist and his subjects clearly evident, these images blur the lines between documentary photography and other practices like painting, theatre and sculpture — they make us question everything we see.
