2018., Goose Lane Editions Call No: 779.092 P916n Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "With Ned Pratt, there is no nostalgia, no romance, no theatre. His interest in the Newfoundland landscape forms the foundation for his photography. Pratt's approach to the act of looking transcends place. He distills the landscape into abstractions of form and colour. Disrupting depth with close architectural details and incisions of poles and wires, he undermines the traditional, romantic notion of 'looking out' to sublime geometry. Net Pratt: One Wave charts a decade of Pratt's breathtaking photography. Echoing Pratt's aesthetic, this beautifully designed book presents Pratt's works in formal conversation with each other. Stark imagery of buildings is juxtaposed with forays into abstraction and celebrations of the inherent geometry of natural forms -- whether a single wave crashing over a wall or stones cracked by freezing and thawing. The first ever book on Ned Pratt's photography, One Wave will accompany a major exhibition of his work, due to open at The Rooms in the fall of 2018. Featuring more than 30 large-scale reproductions of Pratt's photographs, this book will also include essays by the artist, Mireille Eagan, Curator of Contemporary Art at The Rooms; Sarah Fillmore, Chief Curator, Art Gallery of Nova Scotia; Ray Cronin, independent curator; and Jonathan Shaughnessy, Assistant Curator, Contemporary Art, National Gallery of Canada. Ned Pratt's photographs have been exhibited at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, PREFIX Photo, the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography, and the Contact Photography Festival. They may also be found in numerous public and corporate collections" -- Provided by publisher.

2013., Fitzhenry and Whiteside Call No: 917.18 Z18l Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Far from busy roads or crowded villages the Kiglapaits, Kaumajets and Torngat mountains rise from a deep cold sea, isolated, ice-covered and bare. Misty fjords, towering cliffs and dark lost valleys hold secrets long hidden and remain so. Here long ago Vikings passed and Inuit hunted. Today it lies waiting to be discovered. This is not a land as Sebastian Cabot once said "God gave to Cain" but a land that will seduce you by its sheer grandeur and beauty. Everyone takes pictures to bring back memories of times and places that moved them. The greater the emotional impact or involvement the greater is the need to preserve them. Precious memories fade quickly and become fleeting. My experience with Labrador has been long and intense. Compiling the images of sixteen trips refreshes old memories and allows stories to re-surface that are just wanting to be told. A book gels this mosaic of emotions, discoveries and feelings.

-- Around the world in 92 minutes :2014., Adult, Random House Canada Call No: 910.22 H129y Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "A surprisingly intimate and compelling visual essay about the planet we live on, choosing the best from the thousands of photos Chris Hadfield took on the International Space Station, showing us our home -- our city, country, continent, our whole planet -- from a unique perspective. These photos reveal why our planet looks the way it does and why we live where we do. Chris sees more in these images than we do, not just because he's spent months in space but because his in-depth knowledge of geology, geography and meteorology allows him to read the mysteries the photos reveal. Divided by continent, the photos represent one (idealized) orbit of the ISS. This planetary photo tour -- surprising, playful, thought-provoking and visually delightful -- is punctuated with commentary on life in zero gravity. In the spirit of his book An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, this collection of photographs open a singular window on our planet, illuminating the history and consequences of human settlement, the magnificence (and wit) of never-before-noticed landscapes, and the power of the natural forces shaping our world and the future of our species. In March 2013, Chris Hadfield became the first Canadian Commander of the International Space Station where, while conducting a record-setting number of scientific experiments and overseeing an emergency spacewalk, he gained worldwide acclaim for his breathtaking photographs and educational videos about life in space. His YouTube music video, a zero-gravity version of David Bowie's "Space Oddity," has received millions of views"--Provided by publisher.
