Throughout a decades-long career, Nakahira raised incisive questions about visual culture and politics in both his photography and his writing. As part of a dynamic moment of artistic and political experimentation in Tokyo, he wrote on a range of topics hardly limited to photography: art, film, journalism, literature, politics, television, and more. Nakahira’s essays brim with urgency, relentlessly interrogating photography’s relationship to power, the connection between language and images, and the gaze. As editors and translators Daniel Abbe and Franz Prichard write, Nakahira’s essays “both suggest doubt about, and possibilities for, a photographically mediated reckoning with the world.”\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aperture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46390425419833,"sku":"3-0012","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9878\/5849\/files\/AttheLimitsoftheGazeIMG_6315.jpg?v=1787671293"},{"product_id":"robert-adams-why-people-photograph","title":"Robert Adams: Why People Photograph","description":"\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Adams: Why People Photograph\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRobert Adams \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAperture\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFormat: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e189 pages\u003cbr\u003e5.53 x 8.28 x 0.64 inches\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780893816032\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eA now classic text on the art, \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhy People Photograph\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e gathers a selection of essays by the great master photographer Robert Adams, tackling such diverse subjects as collectors, humor, teaching, money and dogs. \u003c\/b\u003eAdams also writes brilliantly on Edward Weston, Paul Strand, Laura Gilpin, Judith Joy Ross, Susan Meiselas, Michael Schmidt, Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, and Eugène Atget.

Through eighty-three photographs taken across the country, Frank unveiled an America that had gone previously unacknowledged—confronting its people with an underbelly of racial inequality, corruption, injustice, and the stark reality of the American dream.

Facsimile pages from the diaries, along with images by the photographer, including self‑portraits, lend the volume an immediacy and authenticity. As curator Tomáš Pospěch writes, “Koudelka’s diaries are a ‘cookbook’ of classic photography. He associated with the most renowned photographers. His notes sum up his rich experience, including with the now‑vanishing technology of analog black‑and‑white photography. His remarks, quips, and stories reappear, just as he repeatedly made resolutions, affirmed the rules he had adopted, and recalled earlier events and dreams.” \u003ci\u003eDiaries\u003c\/i\u003e is a perfect companion to \u003ci\u003eJosef Koudelka: Next\u003c\/i\u003e (2023), the visual biography by Melissa Harris.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aperture","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46392782454841,"sku":"3-0015","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9878\/5849\/files\/JosefKoudelkaDiariesRealm1787763281819.jpg?v=1787764826"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.realmbooks.co\/collections\/aperture.oembed","provider":"Realm Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
