Description:
Slowly clearing out some space on my bookshelf for other stuff and have the following books for sale. Condition of the books are very good (8 to more or less mint).

1) Paolo Pellegrin (Fotografie Portfolio) (Hardcover)
Price $15
"Paolo Pellegrin is a journalistic and fine-art photographer with few equals. As well as becoming a full member of Magnum in 2005, he is a contract photographer for Newsweek. The recipient of many prizes, he has achieved various awards including eight World Press Photo and numerous Photographer of the Year accolades. Taking photographs worldwide, his subjects often include the underprivileged and those caught in political conflicts. Pellegrin's painterly images are both evocative and remarkably original. He is also a celebrity photographer in his own right, profiling some of the most famous faces of our time."


2) Light in the Landscape: A Photographer's Year (Hardcover)
Price: $15
"This is more than just a breathtaking coffee-table book: it’s an invaluable source of inspiration for anyone eager to learn how to capture a magnificent landscape. All these astonishing images—from the wintry seascapes to the golden skies—come from the camera of Peter Watson, one of the world's finest photographers. Presenting over 100 of his best works, Watson explains how he got the picture, what techniques and filters he used, how he developed depth and texture in the composition, and more. Month by month, his work tracks seasonal changes, seizing nature in all its splendor."


3) Beat Streuli: BXL (Hardcover)
Price: $5
"Swiss-born artist Beat Streuli's central motif is the urban environment and its inhabitants. But his quietly mesmerizing photographs are neither documentary nor conceptual: rather, they lead us to a form of aesthetics that could be described as the "glamor of the usual." In this beautifully produced volume, Streuli brings together a new series of images taken in his current home town of Brussels--primarily in his own neighborhood near the center of the city. It is an area populated largely by immigrants from diverse ethnic groups. As essayist Katerina Gregos points out, "While the business of representing the 'other' can be a tricky and sensitive issue, Streuli's approach is refreshingly non-judgmental, and unpretentious, despite being decidedly voyeuristic." Here, large-scale portraits of passersby and inhabitants of the city compel the viewer to look at the European capital as a melting pot metropolis that is forging a new cultural identity."


4) Moments: The Pulitzer Prize-Winning Photographs- A Visual Chronicle of Our Time (Hardcover)
Price: $10
"These poignant, often heart-wrenching photographs, taken by the world's best photojournalists, tell dramatic & memorable stories & form a visual chronicle of our & tragedies of our age. Here are the moments during which history turned: five Marines raising the U.S. flag at Iwo Jima, Babe Ruth offering a final salute at Yankee Stadium, the fallen students at Kent State, the demonstration at China's Tiananmen Square, a lone woman defying security officers during the evacuation of the West Bank. Filled with emotion & passion, each photograph trasports us to a single moment. This breathtaking collection demonstrates the power of photography to compel, provoke, inspire, & above all, preserve."


5) The Photographer: Into War-torn Afghanistan with Doctors Without Borders (Softcover)
Price: $10
"In 1986, Afghanistan was torn apart by a war with the Soviet Union. This graphic novel/photo-journal is a record of one reporter's arduous and dangerous journey through Afghanistan accompanying the Doctors Without Borders. Didier Lefèvre’s photography, paired with the art of Emmanuel Guibert, tells the powerful story of a mission undertaken by men and women dedicated to mending the wounds of war."
