Book Synopsis Photography and Humour by : Louis Kaplan
Download or read book Photography and Humour written by Louis Kaplan and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ticklish subject of humour is often on the sidelines of writing about photography, yet photos often entertain us with their wit and visual jokes. Photography and Humour remedies this situation by providing a history of photographic laughter, gathering together over one hundred images. In this first survey to look at the history of photography through the lens of humour, Louis Kaplan reviews some of the important ways photographers from the mid-1800s to today have found humour in the world, and how viewers have found amusement in photographs.
Book Synopsis Study in Black and White by : Tanya Sheehan
Download or read book Study in Black and White written by Tanya Sheehan and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2019-05-06 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, Tanya Sheehan takes humor seriously in order to trace how photographic comedy was used in America and transnationally to express evolving ideas about race, black emancipation, and civil rights in the mid-1800s and into the twentieth century. Sheehan employs a trove of understudied materials to write a new history of photography, one that encompasses the rise of the commercial portrait studio in the 1840s, the popularization of amateur photography around 1900, and the mass circulation of postcards and other photographic ephemera in the twentieth century. She examines the racial politics that shaped some of the most essential elements of the medium, from the negative-positive process to the convention of the photographic smile. The book also places historical discourses in relation to contemporary art that critiques racism through humor, including the work of Genevieve Grieves, Adrian Piper, Lorna Simpson, Kara Walker, and Fred Wilson. By treating racial humor about and within the photographic medium as complex social commentary, rather than a collectible curiosity, Study in Black and White enriches our understanding of photography in popular culture. Transhistorical and interdisciplinary, this book will be of vital interest to scholars of art history and visual studies, critical race studies, U.S. history, and African American studies.
Book Synopsis Photography Performing Humor by : Liesbeth Decan
Download or read book Photography Performing Humor written by Liesbeth Decan and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New perspectives on humor within photography Despite the ubiquitous presence of photographic humor in art and popular media, the phenomenon has as yet received very little scholarly attention. Focusing on staged humor rather than on comic effects of snapshot photography, this volume brings together leading scholars in the field addressing humor performed in front of the camera, often specifically created for the camera, and the performative joke-work done by the medium itself. A first section explores how photography, due to its “shattering” qualities, turns into a privileged medium for eliciting humorous effects and how humor can be discerned within the photographic event. A second section discusses the toolbox of photographic trickery (photomontage, double exposure and cinematic movement) that allows photography to mock itself. The book closes with a section on photographic wit in conceptual art, both in canonized and more locally distinct practices. With artists’ pages from Paulien Oltheten, Lieven Segers and David Helbich

Book Synopsis Humor, Seriously by : Jennifer Aaker
Download or read book Humor, Seriously written by Jennifer Aaker and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WALL STREET JOURNAL, LOS ANGELES TIMES, AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER • Anyone—even you!—can learn how to harness the power of humor in business (and life), based on the popular class at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business. Don’t miss the authors’ TED Talk, “Why great leaders take humor seriously,” online now. “The ultimate guide to using the magical power of funny as a tool for leadership and a force for good.”—Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of When and Drive We are living through a period of unprecedented uncertainty and upheaval in both our personal and professional lives. So it should come as a surprise to exactly no one that trust, human connection, and mental well-being are all on the decline. This may seem like no laughing matter. Yet, the research shows that humor and laughter are among the most valuable tools we have at our disposal for strengthening bonds and relationships, diffusing stress and tension, boosting resilience, and performing when the stakes are high. That’s why Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas teach the popular course Humor: Serious Business at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, where they help some of the world’s most hard-driving, blazer-wearing business minds infuse more humor and levity into their work and lives. In Humor, Seriously, they draw on findings by behavioral scientists, world-class comedians, and inspiring business leaders to reveal how humor works and—more important—how you can use more of it, better. Aaker and Bagdonas unpack the theory and application of humor: what makes something funny, how to mine your life for material, and simple ways to identify and leverage your unique humor style. They show how to use humor to rebuild vital connections; appear more confident, competent, and authentic at work; and foster cultures where levity and creativity can thrive. President Dwight David Eisenhower once said, “A sense of humor is part of the art of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done.” If Dwight David Eisenhower, the second least naturally funny president (after Franklin Pierce), thought humor was necessary to win wars, build highways, and warn against the military-industrial complex, then you might consider learning it too.
Download or read book PHOTO FUNNIES written by Roger V. Smith and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2024-07-02 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sources of humor can be discovered everywhere at any time by almost anyone when careful, thorough observations are made. Photo Funnies is a collection of natural, unaltered photographs from across the United States that were personally discovered and photographed by the author. The book shows the abundant frequency of “hidden” or subtle humor that surrounds us every day. The book is organized into relevant, overlapping, and interrelated chapters: obviousness, health, safety, education, and recreation. Each chapter reveals how these shared, common activities and places each of us frequently encounter every day can be sources of humor. After initially observing each photo, ask yourself, “What do I physically see and what is its intended purpose or meaning?” Then, after more careful examination, ask yourself, “How else can this be interpreted?” Look for anything and everything that is unusual, strange, or out of the ordinary, such as misspellings, inconsistencies, ambiguities, and contradictions. Create several of your own interpretations or captions for each photo before you view the author’s caption below each photo. You can become a discoverer of “hidden” or subtle humor by asking the above two questions all the time with everything you see. The chapter titled “Make Your Own” tests your new, sharpened power of observation by matching Photo Funnies with the author’s creative captions. The sources of humor are everywhere and can be discovered by almost anyone when careful, thorough observations are made.
Book Synopsis Hot Dog Taste Test by : Lisa Hanawalt
Download or read book Hot Dog Taste Test written by Lisa Hanawalt and published by Drawn & Quarterly. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new book from the James Beard award-winning cartoonist and designer/producer of Netflix’s Bojack Horseman Lisa Hanawalt's debut graphic novel, My Dirty Dumb Eyes, achieved instant and widespread acclaim: reviews in the New York Times and NPR, Best of Year nods from the Washington Post and USA Today, and praise from comedians like Patton Oswalt and Kristen Schaal. Her designs define the look of the wildly popular Netflix animated series Bojack Horseman. Her culinary-focused comics and illustrated essays in Lucky Peach magazine won her a James Beard Award. Now, Hot Dog Taste Test collects Hanawalt's devastatingly funny comics, gorgeous art, and screwball lists as she tucks into the pomposities of the foodie subculture. Hanawalt dismantles the notion of breakfast; says goodbye to New York through a street food smorgasbord; shadows chef Wylie Dufresne, samples all-you-can-eat buffets in Vegas; and crafts an eerie comic about being a horse lover yet an avid carnivore. Hot Dog Taste Test explodes with color, hilarity, charm, and, occasionally, reproductive organs. Lush full-spread paintings of birds getting their silly feet all over a kitchen, a fully imagined hot dog show (think Best in Show but with hot dogs), and a holiday feast gone awry are the creamy icing on this imaginative rainbow-colored cake. But Hanawalt's wit and heart extend far beyond gags--her insightful musings on popular culture, relationships, and the animal in all of us are as keen and funny as her watercolors are exquisite.

Download or read book Comic Genius written by and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This star-studded tribute to the kings and queens of comedy draws together such legendary names as Steve Martin, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, Eddie Murphy, Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais, and many more. Granted extraordinary access, photographer Matt Hoyle has captured his subjects in portraits that are works of art in themselves—by turns zany and deadpan, laugh-out-loud and contemplative. Accompanying them are first-person reflections from each of the comedians on life and laughter that always cut straight to the heart of comedy: it's funny because it's true. Page after sidesplitting page in Comic Genius offers prose as engaging as each portrait is memorable. Here, in one handsome package, is the gift of laughter itself. Comic Genius is proud to support Save The Children.

Book Synopsis The Meaning in the Making by : Sean Tucker

Become inspired, find your voice, and create work that matters.
Why are human beings driven to make?
It’s as if we collectively intuited, long before science gave us the language, that the universe bends toward entropy, and every act of creation on our part is an act of defiance in the face of that evolving disorder.
When we pick up a paintbrush, or compose elements through our camera viewfinders, or press fingers into wet clay to wrestle form from a shapeless lump, we are bending things back toward Order and wrestling them from Chaos.
But making things is often not enough.
We also want the things we make to be filled with meaning. We’re each trying to describe what we know about life, to create a collective sense of “safety in numbers.” When we reach the end of our traditional descriptive powers, it’s time to weave collective meaning from poetry, painting, writing, dancing, photographing, filmmaking, storytelling, singing, animating, designing, performing, carving, sculpting, and a million other ways we daily create Order out of the Chaos and share it with each other for comfort.
On this journey we need a creative philosophy which will help us find our voice, discover our message, deal with the responses to our work, maintain inspiration, and stay mentally healthy and motivated creators as we strive to find “the meaning in the making.”

Download or read book Photo Hero written by George A. Covington and published by . This book was released on 2001-05 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book http://www.lovingodinc.com/ The Inspiration and the Vision (Make Me Over Jesus) The inspiration for this book was given to me one-night while I sat on my bed Writing in the Purpose Driven Journal God spoke directly to me and my body felt a warm sensation and tears started running down my face. My hands started writing - words that I did not think to write myself And I knew it was the presence of God **Practice His Poetry** After I wrote these words I immediately fell to My knees and praised his name I repeated over and over again Thank you, Jesus - Thank you, Lord He Sent Me In Another Direction (Order My Steps) I was so sure that when I finished writing the first manuscript that I would be ready to write a book on short story testimonies, but I kept writing poems and I couldn't figure out how I would be using these poems since my poetry book was complete. Then one morning it came to me - there is another book to be written first and we are going to call it "Order my Steps" Every time I hear the Pastor TL Carmichael say order my steps my heart would stop for just a moment and I could feel something embrace me - saying - this is a stamp on your life and this is a message to be shared I first heard this phrase Order My Steps, by the Mighty Clouds of Joy - and I would play this CD in my car over and over again. as If I had no control but to listen to the words until they were part of my name. I am who I am - This is me - A gift to Love everything I see.
