<p>Pictorial photography in the United States has been revived as a serious area of inquiry in recent decades, surviving the mid-century denigration it received as the photography establishment embraced a more modernist, "straight" photography, yet it is still under-examined. "California Dreamin'" uncovers the very active, yet relatively overlooked tradition of pictorial photography practiced in the context of camera clubs in California during the first half of the twentieth century. It gives Pictorialism, and specifically the West Coast Pictorial tradition, thoughtful attention, bringing together the work of well-known photographers who have secured a place in the photography canon - including Ansel Adams, Anne Brigman, and Edward Weston - with the work of still lesser known photographers - such as William E. Dassonville, Will Connell, Arthur F. Kales, William Mortensen, and Karl Struss.This book also includes relatively unknown photographers such as Fred Archer, Louis Fleckenstein, Louis Goetz, and Kaye Shimojima, who were nevertheless quite active as Pictorial photographers on the West Coast in the early twentieth century. The broad selection of images discussed, many of which have never been reproduced before, showcases the work of over forty photographers and attests to the visual power, complexity, and breadth of photography created in the camera clubs.</p>

California Dreamin': Camera Clubs and the Pictorial Photography Tradition

Stacey McCarroll

This book surveys the contemporary art photography movement of aerial photography, against the backdrop of the scientific and historical imagery that preceded it. This global project includes Italian photographer Olivo Barbieri, who surveys Rome, Shanghai, and Las Vegas from a helicopter. Esteban Pastorino Diaz photographs the landscapes of Greece and South America using a kite with a camera mounted beneath it. Terry Evans works with various conservancy groups around Chicago to document the flat views of the Midwestern landscapes. Frank Gohlke engages with the universal destruction of Mt St Helens' eruption and the re-growth of the following decade. Adriel Heisey builds his own planes, and hangs outside of them, to document Native American sites such as Chaco Canyon from a low altitude. Emmet Gowin travels all over the world to record from the air the marks of environmental destruction. David Maisel photographs the Great Salt Lake. Alex McLean flies his plane over a variety of places that are reduced to geometrical colored patterns. Additional artists include Barbara Bosworth, Marilyn Bridges, William Garnett, Mario Giacomelli, Emmet Gowin, and Bradford Washburn.
