The Creative Monochrome Image: How to Excel at Black & White Photography

Here is the essential reference for any serious amateur photographer who wants to master the possibilities of black-and-white with a 35 mm SLR or medium-format camera. Covers all aspects, including: necessary equipment, using a studio, mastering the darkroom, the film/developer relationship, special techniques, successful flat copying and print finishing, and presentation.

Completely revised and fully updated! Award-winning photographer David Chamberlain's seminal guide to the art of black &amp; white photography offers no gimmicks or unnecessary equipment; this approach is based on technique, namely, "pre-visualization". Explained in detail, this method allows the amateur photographer, equipped only with his 35mm camera, to push the monochrome format to a wholly original place. Find out, once and for all, the truly essential equipment from camera bodies to lenses and light meters. The actual taking of the picture is in reality a small part of the entire process. That is why large sections are devoted to the studio, developing, presentation, and folio. Helpful hints will benefit you in the darkroom, with suggestions on print finishing and special effects. However, perhaps the best way to learn is by example, and Chamberlain won't disappoint you. Bonus: over 60 gorgeous photographs from his collection on display. Techniques are explained in full for each individual piece. Creative freedom allows each photographer to search for his or her artistic identity. Learn how not to let criticism get in the way of the pursuit for your artistic identity.

New Readings of Late Medieval Love Poems

This collection offers new and challenging scholarly interpretations of six major "Chaucerian" love poems from Clanvowe's Cuckoo and the Nightingale (1385) to the early Renaissance Court of Love (c. 1530). This study reveals previously overlooked subtlety and irony of these works, including an original, in-depth look at the neglected icon of this erotic poetry, the hawthorn tree.  The contributors' critical approach emphasizes the texts themselves, their cultural context, and the literary tradition of the genre.  The focus is decidedly on the poems' likely meaning to their original audiences; Chamberlain sketches fifteenth century literary taste in his introduction.  This book contributes to the ongoing debate about the meaning of love in Middle English, and medieval, poetry.Contents: "Under the Schaddow of the Hawthorne Greene":  The Hawthorn in Medieval Love Poetry, Susan Schoon Everly and David Chamberlain; Clanvowe's Cuckoo, David Chamberlain; Venus Unveiled:  Lydgate's "Temple of Glas" and the Religion of Love, Bryan Crockett; "The          air":  The Plight of the Courtly Lover, Clair F.

David R Godine Pub

This is the long-awaited tenth-anniversary edition of Dr. Chamberlain's 1988 classic, Babies Remember Birth. In paperback format and enriched with a new last chapter, this book has the potential to revolutionize the way we look at babies, both before and after birth. Part I is filled with "user-friendly" information about the mind and abilities of newborns, as well as a thorough look at their development before birth. Parts II and III present evidence that babies do remember birth and are very much aware of the people around them at that time. Dr. Chamberlain writes compellingly about the newborn's sensitivity, awareness, and vulnerability. He emphasizes the importance and power of the infant-and-parent connection during pregnancy and after birth. When the information in this book becomes common knowledge, we will look at our children with new respect and understanding.
