Nash Editions: Photography and the Art of Digital Printing
Introduction by Graham Nash
with essays by Richard Benson, R. Mac Holbert and Henry Wilhelm
Art direction and design by AC Berkheiser
This is the magnum opus on digital printing and the book to read before color calibrating your monitor or wondering about differences in pigmented and dye-based inks. With little in the way of "how-to," the book focuses more on why and showcases eloquent photographs, including a heartbreakingly beautiful portrait of Marilyn Monroe, a naked World War II bomber tail gunner, and the inevitable "Emperor's New Clothes" work. Equally heartbreaking for far different reasons is Henry Wilhelm's essay "A History of Permanence" that includes a section called "The Totally Lost Kodacolor Era" that will leave you stunned by the corporate callousness that's described. This book not only deserves to be on the bookshelf of anybody who cares about photography, it deserves to be read. – Joe Farace, Shutterbug

Just Add Water: Photographs by Burk Uzzle
Introduction by Vicki Goldberg
Art direction and design by AC Berkheiser
A self-described "hard puppy to keep under the porch," photographer Burk Uzzle created the images in Just Add Water by traveling across the United States with his 8x10 camera, capturing the vivid, celebratory, sometimes eccentric personality of the American landscape in the unique style that has become his trademark. This large-format book marks Uzzle's first major published series of color photographs. Burk Uzzle, on the photographs in this book: "In most of these pictures I am exulting in America's personality out on a limb with itself. That teeter-totter balance between logic and humor as the limb seems about to break also relates to how I strive for formally impeccable compositions but then have some loose lug nut rattling around somewhere in the frame, giving a subversive aspect to the dialogue between graphics and content. It's as if America and I try so hard to get everything right, but in spite of ourselves we invariably end up out on that limb, finding that often the only real salvation comes with a gentle chuckle and a sly, knowing smile. All my pictures seem to conclude that logic, while useful to a point, is by itself a bore. So we might as well have a little fun, even if it's in between some tears."
