Springfield

Descripción del libro

Images of America: Springfield Volume I gave readers a photographic history of the city’s ethnic populations and religions. It also told the story of education and public service in the “City of Firsts.” In Springfield Volume II, author Ginger Zabecki Cruickshank takes readers on a second journey through the past to the origins of the city’s many businesses, transportation systems, and social agencies, such as the YMCA and local hospitals that have served the people of Springfield, as well as some of the best sports stories in the city’s history. The stories and early photographs of well-known companies including Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, Friendly’s Ice Cream Corporation, and Merriam-Webster are shown in this striking volume. All have roots in Springfield, as do Milton Bradley and Smith & Wesson. The famous Knox automobiles and the Peter Pan Bus Company are brought to life with other stories in the fascinating development of transportation in the area. As the city has adapted and grown with the population and changing economic times, it has built a tradition of citizens succeeding despite great obstacles. It is that tradition that has made the city what it is today.

Iluminaciones

How does a photographer learn to see? How does he create his own visual language--as unique as a fingerprint and as inimitable as the voice of a great writer? In Iluminaciones, Jack Parsons's seventeenth book, he takes the viewer on a very personal, deeply intuitive journey that reveals how he has honed his photographic vision. The answer is subtle--and remarkable: It is by growing into his own photographs. Here he shares with us ninety-one of his favorite photographs taken over the long arc of his stellar career. These are images that, over time, taught him, as he says, "to see the everyday...

Perpetuos

Este proyecto surge ante la curiosidad de saber por qué la gente se tatúa. El ser humano se viene tatuando desde tiempos ancestrales, pero desde principios de los 90 se hizo mucho más patente y la tendencia no ha hecho más que aumentar. Hoy en día estamos acostumbrados a ver tatuajes de todo tipo, en todo lugar, y en cualquier tipo de persona, pero sin embargo no sabemos la mayoría de las veces qué motivo ha llevado a una persona a tatuarse. Así que llegados a este punto me propuse por lo menos intentar averiguar por qué mis amigos y conocidos llevan tatuajes y documentarlo de alguna ...
