FLAK PHOTO FEATURES HIJACKED, Volume 2 | Australian and German Photography Flak Photo continues its 2010 program by partnering with Big City Press, Kehrer Verlag, Schaden.com and Klompching Gallery to feature work from 20 artists included in HIJACKED, Volume 2, a collection of contemporary Australian and German photography. Building on the considerable success of HIJACKED, Volume 1: Australia and America, this volume is a again an expansive photographic anthology, that compels us to consider two socially divergent and disparate photographic nations. Germany and Australia are juxtaposed to stimulate conversation, suggest connection and invite deconstruction. Flak Photo highlights the diverse talents and perspectives of 20 of these photographers including images from Anne Lass, Andrew Cowen, Josef Schulz, Albrecht Fuchs, Bronek Kózka, Derek Henderson, Ingvar Kenne, Jan van Holleben, Johanna Ahlert, Jörg Brüggemann, Julian Röder, Lee Grant, Louis Porter, Michael Corridore, Narelle Autio, Natalie Bothur, Olaf Unverzart, Rebecca Ann Hobbs, Sascha Weidner, and Tamara Dean. Edited by Mark McPherson in cooperation with Ute Noll and Markus Schaden, HIJACKED, Volume 2 is not a definitive guide to Australian and German contemporary photography; it is a snapshot, a momentary survey with a focus on the depiction, representation and energy of young and emerging artists.

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 |

Family | Photographs by Chris Verene Heartbreaking in their candor, Chris Verene's Family is an exquisite view into the true personal stories and private lives of his extended family and their small community in economically depressed Galesburg, Illinois, over the past 26 years. Verene's photographs depict the repercussions of economic and social upheaval as they comine with the realities of divorce, loss of income, and mental imbalance. He is a compassionate storyteller, focusing on the whole, intimate truth of human narratives and his photographs capture moments that crystallize entire constellations of meaning and emotion. Despite their pathos, these images also forecast a greater good — the power of the human being to survive. Twin Palms Publishers Book Info | Chris Verene Website | Postmasters Gallery Info |
