"Sharp, fierce, and funny, Operation EMU is a wicked satire about the space program, low-budget filmmaking, and why Americans love to be told what to believe. Brandon Barker's first novel doesn't stop surprising or delighting. Imagine NASA run by pro wrestling's Vince McMahon - or better yet, start reading this book."-- Douglas E. Winter, author of Run (Knopf)"I loved Operation EMU -- very, very funny and wicked at the same time, with nice digs at popular/unpopular culture. I think it could be, aside from the delightful novel it already is, a very amusing movie."-- Judy Bachrach, feature writer for Vanity Fair and author of Tina and Harry Come to America: Tina Brown, Harry Evans, and the Uses of Power (Free Press)."Operation EMU is original, fresh, smart, funny, touching, and compulsively readable. Brandon Barker's take on man's first contact with life on another planet -- one suspiciously like our own in the age of the cave men -- could be a collaboration between Calvin Trillin and Philip K. Dick; but in the end, this fascinating novel is all Barker, a major new talent with a unique voice and a shrewd and compassionate eye on the human condition."-- Steven Spruill, author of Before I Wake (St. Martin's Press), Painkiller (St. Martin's Press) and Sleeper (Berkley).

This portfolio of contemporary documentary/editorial photographer John Johnston represents an afternoon at the Rodeo. Johnston captures the modest intensity found among the riders as they focus their rough abilities in order to stay on the horse or cow. "The Cowboy Way" is an honest sampling of Johnston's ability to see clearly yet capture timelessness in each frame. For added flavor, woven through the portfolio is an except from a classic cowboy tale by The Hon. Geo. W. Peck, "Pecks Bad Boy with the Cowboys."

We have come to see the world as devoid of mystery, and with these images I hope to restore some sense of wonder about the world around us. There was once a greater sense of mystery in the world, sailors of long ago would tell tales of mysterious beasts in uncharted areas of the flat Earth. Hand-drawn maps had vast areas marked as "Unknown" and the darkest corners were inscribed with the wondrous phrase, "Here there be Dragons."  Those days are gone now and the deep, dark secret places exist for us only inside our minds and in our imaginations. These photographs ask viewers to examine their interior lives, the secrets within themselves. My photos can act as a mirror into the viewer's unconscious mind. One thing that can be said for certain is that my photographs provide an instantaneous visceral reaction in almost every viewer. I want to images to do this, to encourage people to look into their interior lives, and to become aware of the mystery and beauty of the world around them. B.A. Bosaiya
