Illian like fellow color pioneers Eggleston, Shore and Nan Goldin, was after something more . He wanted the heart of the matter - and he got it. These images, seen here for the first time, resonate with the feel of the music and its connection with the scene and everyone in it.

Hearing this thirty years after I had struggled to come out to my disapproving family sent my mind spinning. The thought of a family member going through some of the same things I did inspired me to create this story. At first, I pondered how to photograph his story but the idea of costuming a sitter or myself as my uncle felt wrong. The more I thought about it, the honesty and authenticity of vernacular photography fit with what I wanted to create. So, I started purchasing and collecting images from eBay. I cast an ‘average dark-haired guy’ (that may look a little like me) as my Uncle Ken and searched for him in photos from around the world with an eye to how they might serve my narrative. I named him Ken, after my college drama teacher, one of the first openly ‘out’ people I had ever known and who had helped me realize my truth about being gay. The story of Uncle Ken's life was inspired by what I could find. For instance, there were so many great photos of men being affectionate in the services that I had to create a period of his life in the Navy. As my collection grew to over 100 images, I organized the photos chronologically to keep track of the arc of his life. This inspired the idea of actually creating Uncle Ken’s vintage photo album, as if he had made it. Eventually, this inspired me to publish it as a book. To round out the story, I have included three letters of correspondence about his first heartbreak, a note to his family while feeling lonely in the Navy, and one from Grant, his fiancé, the night before their wedding. While this work is fictional, it speaks to the lack of positive queer stories from our past. There are few, positive \"lineage stories\" to feel a part of because so much in our past had to be hidden. Same sex and gender non-conforming lives have often been erased from history. This work steps into that space. Instead of returning to the hiding or shame of most pre-1970’s queer stories (a reality of how our world was, and in some cases, still is), I have created an alternate history where fluidity in gender and sexuality is the societal norm. Re-contextualized found photographs create a new life for my Uncle Ken, one full of acceptance, friends, and love, and show anyone struggling with identity today the joy of what could have been and can still be.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fall Line Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51033164611641,"sku":"1-0194","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9878\/5849\/files\/2026_10_30_Realm_0315_AnImpossiblyNormalLife.jpg?v=1793460176"},{"product_id":"the-sun-sets-midafternoon-by-jessica-hays","title":"THE SUN SETS MIDAFTERNOON by Jessica Hays","description":"\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Sun Sets Midafternoon\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jessicahaysart.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eJessica Hays\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFall Line Press \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIntegrating photographs and text, The Sun Sets Midafternoon examines the immediate aftermath of megafires on surrounding communities and the experience of local fires, interweaving narratives of ecological devastation, collective trauma, and climate grief. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEssays by Stephen Pyne and Tim Carpenter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWildfires are raging across the western United States, burning up increasingly large swaths of land every year. While fire is a natural part of many ecosystems, the increasing presence of larger, faster, and hotter fires is a reminder of the rapidly changing environment. Begun after experiencing the devastation of a wildfire in my hometown, this work explores solastalgia, which describes emotional and existential distress caused by negative environmental change, generally experienced by people with lived experience closely related to the land. Lands integral to our identity, our livelihoods, and our wellbeing are shifting and changing without notice or control. The experience of a wildfire is all consuming. It crowds out your vision. The pillar of smoke is unmistakable as anything else. Our communities are facing collective traumas as we wait for news about the spread and containment, constantly refreshing web pages and data bases. Although these are localized examples of wildland fire and the trauma that follows, collectively the scale of these events is unfathomable. The day to day struggles of normal life continues on as fires rage outside our windows, setting our lives in a scene of gray oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fall Line Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51033184731193,"sku":"1-0195","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0742\/9878\/5849\/files\/2026_10_30_Realm_0354_TheSunSetsMidafternoon.jpg?v=1793461384"},{"product_id":"100-days-of-war-by-igor-chekachov","title":"100 DAYS OF WAR by Igor Chekachov","description":"\u003ch3 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100 Days of War\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/chekachkov.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eIgor Chekachov\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFall Line Press \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003ePhotographs: Igor Chekachov\u003cbr\u003eText: Igor Chekachkov\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Kakkalaki\u003cbr\u003e206 color photographs\u003cbr\u003e304 pages\u003cbr\u003e13 x 21 cm\u003cbr\u003eSoft cover\u003cbr\u003eEnglish\/French\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn 100 Days of War, Igor Chekachkov delivers an unflinching visual ledger documenting the immediate, chaotic descent into conflict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn February 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Igor Chekachkov was forced to evacuate his hometown of Kharkiv. 100 Days of War originates from the aftermath of this displacement—a personal record of photographs and notes assembled in a small notebook during his journey west.

In Lowell’s interpretation, singular moments are made infinite. Bodies leap off roofs and fall from trees, suspended in permanent flight. The smoke from a cigarette and the sparks from a firecracker burn forever. In other pictures, the momentum of an action outpaces the shutter itself, encouraging the viewer to process the image the way one does a memory; coloring in details with emotions instead of information. The intentional absence of contextual clues frees the black \u0026amp; white imagery from any particular moment in time. There’s no evidence of technology, no hints from a subject’s clothes (in fact, there’s very little clothing at all). The result is an Edenic collection of photographs: simultaneously fleeting and everlasting, tactile and ethereal, grounded in reality yet floating above it.
