| 11. |  | Robbert Flick 1981 SV# 035/81, Near Live Oak I, Joshua Tree National Monument, CA, [Sequential Views] Gelatin silver prints 20 x 24 ins Robert Mann Gallery © Robbert Flick. Courtesy Robert Mann Gallery, NY Flick's Sequential Views combines the characteristic photographic trends of the 1970s. Relying on the verisimilitude of the gelatin silver print, Flick creates a formal repetitious structure that is paradoxical to what the images appear to conceptually divulge. His continuum of views, merging into one, challenges presumptions about photographic process, space, and time. By shifting location, extending or negating forms through perspective, or using different focal length lenses, Flick disrupts the borders between indexical documentary practice that offers a cataloging of subjects and artistic interpretation. Besides questioning the physical makeup of any place and the notion of the single photograph, these views provide alternative explanations to the difference(s) between appearance and reality. |

It was designed by Giovanni Battista Castello on a relatively small lot. Near to the entrance is the grand double staircase that leads to the first floor. Magnificence and Luminescence behind Gates Genoa is a city whose numerous narrow, centuries-old alleys with houses wind themselves alongside the hills. On summer days, the heat and humidity are captured here. Sometimes, there is a light breeze and I try to dry my wet forehead by turning my head to put together a clear thought. I did not come to this city from the harbor or the open sea. My first impressions were from the air. From a taxi into the city - over mountain roads similar to those where I live - through tunnels which they would like to build back home - I landed directly next to the Via Garibaldi. Many different ideas drove me into different corners of the city. Some of them I wanted to tackle, but all of a sudden I was captured by this city and my commission. My profession held me tightly between the palace walls - into a city, into another time and into the buildings whose thick gates seemed to block me from entering. In the broad streets of the Via Garibaldi and Via Balbi, it was a different type of confinement. The mighty palaces bore witness to power and wealth, stood in a straight row and stretched their thick walls toward me. I went through the large gates and any thoughts I had of narrow depressing alleys between high walls all vanished. It was as if I were stepping into an ethereal lightness. Stepping through these courtyards, flights of stairways and galleries was similar to drifting into a magnificent and affluent past. Glaring sunlight, shadows between the arches and columns, a light breeze and thick walls that defend against the heat - voices died away to a broad mumbling in the courtyards. Old doors fell into their well-oiled locks. Gates spiked with defensive points did allow entry to the visitor. Behind many a door shone the magnificent and light worlds of palaces from another time. Often, a friendly porter would nod in response to my questioning and bobbing photography movements, and I could thankfully invite these palaces to dance with my camera. |
| 14. |  | Leroy Parkinson n.d. Nine Vignettes of a young boy in different poses Cabinet card format printing-out print Christopher Wahren Fine Photographs Courtesy of Christopher Wahren Fine Photographs (Skylight Gallery Catalog 27, October, 23, 2008 #72) What appear to be nine consecutive exposures of a young boy in different poses, his moods ranging from solemn to gleeful. With reverse photographer's stamp for "LeRoy Parkinson, Fox Lake, Wis[consin]." It is likely that these nine images were produced as overlapping exposures on a single photographic negative (in camera). This procedure requires considerable confidence and skill on the part of the photographer, since one bad image would spoil the negative. The alternative, of somehow overlapping multiple negatives when printing, would have been difficult to achieve with period processes and glass-based negatives. |

Courtesy Pace/MacGill Gallery, New York Michals believes that diversity of practice is essential, as ". . . Everything is a subject for photography including your own fantasies, your own truth, your own desires, your own fears. That's where you live. You don't live on the streets looking at people's faces or looking at sunsets. You live in your mind. And you know your fears more intimately. What I want from you is your secrets. That's the only thing you can give me: your secrets." Quoted in A. D. Coleman, "Duane Michals," Camera & Darkroom, vol. 15, no. 11, (November 1993), 30. |

Silver prints, 7 1/2x9 1/2 inches (19x24.1 cm.), or the reverse, each is mounted to linen. Oblong 4to, gilt-lettered leatherette. The medical firm of Bauer and Black, with factories in New York and Chicago, manufactured more than 250,000 first aid products a day--equivalent to 75,000,000 a year in the World War I period. The album opens with photographs of the company''s headquarters in New York City and Chicago. The pictures that follow depict a variety of products--some familiar and some distinctly outdated--in stylized packaging. Most of the prints show boxes of plasters artfully arranged against a white background; there are also a few images of window displays or print advertisements. B & B''s once multitidinous roster of plasters have since been phased out and replaced by support hose and ankle braces. Contemporary ailments, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or tennis elbow, are helped by their wrist and elbow braces. |

Waddell, 1987 (1987.1100.482) © Walker Evans Archive, The Metropolitan Museum of Art Curatorial description This picture is a composite portrait of a slice of society. It represents the window display of an anonymous portrait photographer in the South during the Depression. He was evidently not much of an artist but was good at pinching pennies, eager for business, and proud of his trade. On each of his large negatives he managed to make fifteen individual portraits. He thought most exposures good enough to use in this advertising display but covered his occasional failures with more successful images cut from other contact sheets.
