During the 1960s, Dennis Hopper carried a camera everywhere - on film
sets and locations, at parties, in diners, bars and galleries, driving
on freeways and walking on political marches. He photographed movie
idols, pop stars, writers, artists, girlfriends, and complete strangers.
Along the way he captured some of the most intriguing moments of his
generation with a keen and intuitive eye. With excerpts from Victor
Bockris's interviews of Hopper's famous subjects, friends, and family,
this volume is an unprecedented exploration of the life and mind of
one of America's most fascinating personalities.

Luljeta Lleshanaku belongs to the first "post-totalitarian"
generation of Albanian poets. In "Haywire" she turns to
the fallout of her country's past and its relation to herself and
her family. Through intense, powerful lyrics, she explores how these
histories intertwine and influence her childhood memories and the
retelling of her family's stories. Sorrow, death, imprisonment, and
desire are some of the themes that echo deeply in Lleshanaku's beautiful
poems. |

"Schultz's trick is to use the pictures as
evidence of what's going on in Arbus' psyche - and to peer into
her psyche to give us a bette runderstanding of what's going on
in the pictures"

This book is a revised and enlarged version of the original
maquette for Josef Koudelka's book Cikáni (Czech for
Gypsies), prepared by Koudelka and graphic designer Milan Kopriva
in 1968, and intended for publication in Prague in 1970. However,
Koudelka left Czechoslovakia in 1970, and the book was never
published in that original form. Koudelkas stark images depict
the poverty and clannishness of Gypsy life, but he does not
present their situation as a social problem that should somehow
be fixed. Instead, he shows the Gypsies as perpetual outsiders,
and their lives as a primal mix of glee and wonder, sorrow and
mystery. '

As a pioneer in the field of color photography, Herzog perfected his
eye for the supposedly insignificant. His motifs are the streets of
Vancouver, supermarkets, gas stations, bars, urban scenery, landscapes,
and, again and again, man in his environment. Above all, however,
color lends his photographs a unique atmosphere and power, and is
ultimately what makes them seem authentic. |
