Download or read book Chris McCaw written by Chris McCaw and published by Hodder Christian Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The photographs of Chris McCaw (born 1971) are produced with various hand-built view cameras as big as 30 by 40 inches, which are equipped with large aerial lenses designed to allow a maximum amount of light to pass through. Using large paper negatives, McCaw makes very long exposures ranging from several hours to a full day, which result in solarized final images. Besides the attractive neo-primitive qualities of his landscape imagery, the concentrated sunlight passing through the large optical elements actually scorches an etched path across the surface of the paper, rending open the charred skies to hint at a brighter light behind our sun. Sunburn brings together more than 60 of these landscapes, cooked visions in which blackened suns move stroboscopically through veiled skies that hang like curtains over vistas reduced to shadow. The violent shearing or destruction of each image contests the traditionally mellow aesthetic of the landscape photography tradition, and the marks left behind are a physical testament to the power of the sun, which is both subject and collaborator in this chance meeting of creator and destroyer. The excitement of discovering such a remarkable and untapped property of these particular lenses and expired gelatin silver papers is a testament to McCaw's openness to the photographic process, and his continued experimentation over the past eight years has created an equally indelible mark on the tradition of landscape photography. -- Amazon.com.

Book Synopsis Coloring Metal Sculptures: The Magical Works of Ricardo Breceda by : Diana Lindsay
Download or read book Coloring Metal Sculptures: The Magical Works of Ricardo Breceda written by Diana Lindsay and published by Sunbelt Publications. This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is something magical about Ricardo Breceda's metal sculptures. Perhaps because they evolved from his little daughter's request for her father to build a dinosaur for her. Not many fathers would acquiesce to such a request. But his little girl was his princess and he aimed to please. He built the dinosaur and went on to build many more dinosaurs, horses, and elephants.His small menagerie caught the attention of millionaire Dennis Avery who commissioned Breceda to build 131 different metal sculptures scattered on his property in Borrego Valley with the most dramatic creature being a fantasy giant dragon that dives under the road and has a rattlesnake tail. The Borrego Valley sculptures have become a major attraction for Borrego Springs. Today, Ricardo's sculptures can be found scattered about southern California in such places as Twentynine Palms at the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park, Cabazon and the Palm Springs area, La Quinta, Norco, Temecula, Aguanga, Ocotillo Wells, Idyllwild, and even Jacumba. Now you can add your own magical touch to stagecoaches, Pleistocene animals, historical characters, dinosaurs, bighorn sheep, snakes, monkeys, and various other assorted animals.
