A timely reconsideration of the history of photography that places Black studio photographers, and their subjects, at the center From photography's beginnings in the United States, Black studio photographers operated on the developing edge of popular media to produce affirming portraits for their clients, as well as a wide range of photographic work rooted in their communities. Called to the Camera offers a comprehensive history of this work, from the nineteenth-century daguerreotypes of James Presley Ball to the height of Black studios in the mid-twentieth century, and considers contemporary photographers responding to Black studio traditions today. In addition to showcasing famous photographers such as Ball, James Van Der Zee, and Addison Scurlock, this volume brings attention to dozens of other artists across the country, including Florestine Perrault Collins, Austin Hansen, and Henry Clay Anderson. The book features more than one hundred extraordinary vintage photographs, many of them unique objects and some, like those by the Hooks Brothers Studio, published here for the first time. Highlighting Black subjects on both sides of the camera, Called to the Camera presents a broader and more inclusive history of photography.

The Underground Railroad (Journey to Freedom)

The essence of a Cult, or as the French say, eau de Cult, reminds us that the church should permeate with the fragrance of Christ. This book reveals how many slanderously labeled the first church a cult because of their love for one another. How can the church today recapture the love that filled the New Testament church? Within these pages you will find the keys to a fresh, pure, and amazing love that Jesus has in store for his people. Speaking from their experiences as a pastor and his wife, the authors share how they found this type of fellowship costly, but worth the price. To love as Jesus loved means that your church, like the first church, may find itself falsely labeled a cult. "To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life." —2 Corinthians 2:16a This book is the second in the To the Point Series, with the purpose of providing short, to the point teachings that require an obedience that comes from faith (Romans 1:5).
