Light, water, and woods have always inspired Seattle artists and poets, and their views at the end of our millennium are especially rich, complex, subtle, and often humorous. This title celebrates these individual visions in a commemorative book sponsored by the City of Seattle through the Seattle Arts Commission.Photographs by Marsha Burns, Michael Burns, Lee Friedlander, Natalie Fobes, Peter DeLory and poetry by Denise Levertov, Richard Hugo, Colleen J. McElroy, and others are brought together to create a handsome and thoughtful portrait of Seattle at the end of its defining century.

Legendary for his massive photographic undertaking The North American Indian, Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868-1952) recorded much more than portraits of Native American tribespeople. Among his huge body of work are numerous images of all manner of native dwellings: tipis, hogans, huts, cliff houses, adobes, and many more that are far less familiar to the public eye. Though people are largely absent from these photographs, each image speaks volumes about the lives and lifestyles of the tribes to which they belonged. Other structures such as tombs, religious buildings, granaries, and totem poles are also featured prominently, further glimpses into ways of life that were in the process of disappearing. Taken from the Dan and Mary Solomon collection, Sites & Structures: The Architectural Photographs of Edward S. Curtis is the first book of Curtis photographs to explore these dwellings and structures, faithfully reproduced from the original prints and gravures. Curator and photography historian Rod Slemmons puts these photographs in context among Curtis's more familiar portraits and considers their anthropological and artistic importance. Reproduced in large, splendid tritones, Sites & Structures is one of the finest monographs of this American photographic master.

Just as Aperture's classic Masters of Photography series introduces audiences to the work of established great photographers, this first in a planned series of three-volume boxed sets offers an affordable, beautifully produced introduction to three emerging talents: Kelli Connell, Justin Newhall and Brian Ulrich. Via digital manipulation, Kelli Connell uses a single individual to represent two sides of an evolving relationship, the self and the other. Justin Newhall has spent the past few years following the Lewis and Clark Trail through the Dakotas, Montana and beyond. His lyrical work focuses on the intersections of tourism, history and mythology. Brian Ulrich shoots in malls, grocery stores and warehouses, documenting the bounty of commercial goods available to consumers and the peculiar behavior it seems to bring out. From cathartic to catatonic, his shoppers may be caught up in fantasy or quite simply overwhelmed, but they are certainly familiar. This slipcased box set will include three volumes, each with 56 pages and 25 color images.
