and power of these sleek, complex machines
and restores some of the glamour to the
experience of air travel.
An eloquent foreword

beauty possible in even the most complex
technology.

DAVID MAISEL
 Oblivion
monograph by David Maisel
published by Nazraeli Press
12” x 12”, 48pp, casebound
essay by William L. Fox
poem by Mark Strand
$60 plus shipping
The term “shadowland” that Maisel uses when discussing the Oblivion photographs is appropriate. When you cast a shadow on a fact, you create doubt. When you shadow someone, you follow them invisibly. Shadowland is what the military calls those blacked-out areas where they wish to operate unseen, whether they are testing an experimental aircraft or interrogating people beyond lawful means. It is a land of spies and spooks, a place where ghosts live, and what Los Angeles looks like in Oblivion. The city is almost recognizable in Maisel's negative prints and yet not quite, as if we are seeing both more of what we know and less.

 The Lake Project
Photographs by David Maisel. Introduction by Robert A. Sobieszek.
Nazraeli Press, Tucson, 2004. Unpaged, Numerous color illustrations, 14x14". Hardbound [Signed] $150
In 1913, in response to a thirsty and ever-growing Southern Californian megalopolis, the State began syphoning off water in mass quantities from Owens Lake, located on Route 395 between the Sierra Nevadas to the west and Death Valley to the east. By 1926 the lake was all but dead, a vast expanse of exposed deposits of nickel, arsenic, and cadmium. Maisel took to the air over Owens Lake in 2001 and 2002 capturing hallucinatory scenes of color and texture that nearly conceal the fact that they are aerial views. The sheer size of the areas photographed are at direct odds with the microscopic and abstract, two-dimensional space that Maisel creates in these images. In that sense, the work succeeds on several fronts and is well-suited to book form.

CHRIS JORDAN
 In Katrina's Wake: Portraits of Loss from an Unnatural Disaster by Chris Jordan, Bill McKibben, Susan Zakin
Publisher: Princeton Book Company Publishers, 96 pages
(September 2006)
Hardbound, Signed, $35
Book Description
While many may argue whether the devastation of hurricane Katrina was the direct or indirect result of global warming, infrastructural neglect, inadequate preparation, or an incompetent governmental response, nobody will deny the heartbreak it wrought, the homes, businesses, and history washed away, the landscape uprooted, or the lives lost. Renowned photographer Chris Jordan went on assignment—his own—to capture the tragedy of the aftermath of this, the greatest natural disaster in the history of the United States. In Katrina's Wake, his series of 50 photographs, layer, the horror of ruin with the uncanny beauty of nature, even in its most savage incarnation. His images show how the remnants of a place—from Mardi Gras beads to church pews, from computer stations to swing sets—recall the essence of a place. Essays by Bill McKibben, Elizabeth Royte, and Susan Zakin explore the causes and effects of global warming, noting that we are all responsible for the future of our planet. A portion of the profits from the sale of this book will be donated to organizations dedicated to rebuilding New Orleans.

JILL GREENBERG
 End Times. Exhibition Catalogue
Jill Greenberg. Softbound $25
Paul Kopeikin Gallery, Los Angeles, 2006. Unpaged, various color illustrations, 5½x7".
Publisher's Description:
Following her enormously successful series 'Monkey Portraits', which debuted in October 2004, Jill Greenberg’s new work takes a more serious turn and has already hit a national nerve . 'End Times' combines beautiful, poignant imagery, impeccably executed, with both political and personal relevance. Greenberg’s subject is taboo: children in pain. She utilizes this uncomfortable image as a way to break through to the pop mainstream and begin a national dialogue. Jill Greenberg's images are sharp and saturated, stunning and quirky; her work is soaked with realism and imagination.
“For the first time in our history, ideology and theology hold a monopoly of power in Washington. Theology asserts propositions that cannot be proven true; ideologues hold stoutly to a worldview despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality. The offspring of ideology and theology are not always bad but they are always blind. And that is the danger: voters and politicians alike, oblivious to the facts.'
-Bill Moyer- (There is no tomorrow)

 Monkey Portraits. Exhibition catalogue.
Photographs by Jill Greenberg. Softbound [Signed] $25.00.
Paul Kopeikin Gallery, Los Angeles, 2004. Unpaged, 20 color illustrations, 9x10".
“Monkey Portraits” is a personal exploration and departure for Jill Greenberg, who has a storied career as a leading celebrity photographer. Her enviable portfolio showcases David Bowie, Tom Cruise, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Lange, Kevin Spacey and Sharon Stone, among others. Her iconic and edgy subjects run the gamut of portraits of stars from the worlds of fashion, Hollywood, and popular music to product brand creations that have successfully moved the masses to do, buy, and be.
Seemingly far from her trademark style, Greenberg began shooting monkeys in 2001 after being moved by the intense personality that came through the first portrait. Greenberg’s style adds a whole other dimension to the portraits of these monkeys. Instead of amplifying a playful and almost alien characteristic as she does with her human portraiture, her stylistic aesthetic captures an intensely serious and humanistic portrait of not only the monkeys, but also of us. Each portrait is a reaction or action that we have sensed and felt, but have been unable to express- the monkeys become more human than us.
$25 plus $10 shipping and handling. SOLD OUT.
LIMITED EDITION: A special cloth bound catalogue, signed and numbered with an 8" x 10" print of any image in the catalogue in an edition of 50. Contact the gallery for details.

STEVE FITCH
 Gone: Photographs of Abandonment on the High Plains
Hardbound, signed, photographs and text by Steve Fitch. $40.
University Of New Mexico Press, Albuquerque, 2003. 176 pp., 70 color illustrations, 11 x 8 ¾".
Fitch's lush, color, view-camera-employed photographs present the findings of a wanderer and self-styled visual detective. He criss-crossed the Great Plains-from Billings, MT in the north to Lubbock, TX in the south-for ten years, collecting images of homes and businesses whose inhabitants were, simply, gone. The subtitle to this book suggests a theme at once dismal and sinister, but these interiors reveal nothing terrible; the cultural flotsam and jetsam of buoyant optimism in collision with harsh natural and economic reality fills the frames of both these photographs and these now-abandoned buildings. Fitch's photographs speak noisily about various themes: commercialism, the nature of dwelling-places, and mid-century idealism, yet as the absence of people sinks in, the essentially quiet core of this work remains.

handling. The international shipping rate

Nicholas Kahn and Richard Selesnick
 Apollo Prophecies
Die-cut slipcase
duotone panorama
58 Pages
7.625" X 10"
ISBN: 978-1-59711-020-4
The Apollo Prophecies depicts, in one extravagantly long duotone panorama, an imagined expedition of 1960s American astronauts. Landing on the moon, they discover a lost mission of Edwardian-era astronauts who greet them as long-awaited gods. By presenting wildly inventive staged photographs as evidence of events that never happened, the Apollo Prophecies playfully questions the concept of historical truth. Part Jules Verne, part Stanley Kubrick, the panoramic moonscape literally unfolds in multiple episodes that intermingle artifacts from the fearless era of early-20th-century exploration with space age gadgetry.
The book is for sale on the Aperture Foundation website.

ROCKY SCHENCK  Photographs by Rocky Schenck. Foreword by John Berendt. Introduction by Connie Todd.
Hardbound [signed] $55.00
University Of Texas Press, Austin, 2003. 160 pp., 84 color illustrations, 12¼x8¼".
Publisher's Description:
Schenck shows us a party in Hollywood but what he offers us is a modern commentary on insiders and outsiders, the surreal nature of Southern California, and the omnipresent solitude one finds in the city. In 'Information' he shows us simply an information booth, but in his darkroom it becomes a heavenly, haloed, longed-for destination where we feel the person behind the desk may very likely be able to tell us not only when to catch the next train but also whether there is life after death. 'Dresden' is a strongly modernist study in shadow and light but shot in an overtly soft Pictorialist style that lends to its precise geometry an emotional message involving the two figures that walk away together on an unknown path. 'Daddy in the Woods' is the figure of a man-the artist's father-standing in the woods and shining a flashlight that reflects off a nearby rock. The strong manipulation of the image brings us into another of Schenck's interior dimensions wherein the glowing figures of father and light embody solace and a refuge from a truly frightening and dangerous forest. The relative size and threatening shapes of the trees underscore the fragility of the father in his advancing years. These are photographs by a generous and courageous author, learning as he goes through life with his camera and willing to share what he has learned with his audience.
$55 plus $15 shipping and handling.
