  • Introduction
    Introduction This collection of essays and reviews follows right on from Anglo- English Attitudes. The last piece in that book was written in 1999; the earliest one here is from the same year. To be honest, nothing much has changed in the interim. I write about whatever happens to interest me, sometimes accepting commissions from editors, sometimes writing pieces and sending them in on spec. A decade from now, by which time I’ll be in my sixties, I hope to have enough new mate- rial to bring out a third volume. You see, I’ve got tenure on this pecu- liarly vacant chair – or chairs, rather. It’s a job for life; more accurately, it is a life, and hardly a day goes by without my marvelling that it is somehow feasible to lead it. As in the earlier collection, there’s no area of specialised concern or expertise; on the contrary, the pleasure, hopefully, lies in the pick ’n’ mix variety, the way one thing leads to another (often Quite different) thing. Actually, one thing has changed: in the last ten years I’ve been asked to contribute introductions to Quite a few books, either re - issued literary classics or photographic monographs and catalogues. I love doing this and am especially grateful to the editors who somehow got wind of the idea that I was interested in Rebecca West or Richard Avedon or whoever and gave me the chance to get between the covers of a shared volume with them. This seems to me the greatest privilege that can be afforded any reader (even if it slightly under- mines the idea of being – as I claim in a piece to be found later in this volume – a gatecrasher).

  • Michael Kamber
    Why Photography WHY PHOTOGRAPHY Michael Kamber I grew up in a time, in the 1960s and 70s, when photographs made a difference. My family got The Portland Press Herald every morning. There was always a black-and-white news image on the front page. This photo was a representation of an important event in the world from the previous day. Weekly news magazines, such as Time and Newsweek, were packed with photos too; I pored over them eagerly, occasionally cutting photos from their pages. They were my only links to far-off happenings in a distant world. The iconic photos of the civil rights movement in particular were burned into my consciousness. I studied the defiant marchers, snarling dogs, and pot-bellied Southern sheriffs with insouciant grins. Pictures from the Vietnam War changed my consciousness as well. We watched grainy clips on TV every evening. Yet it was the photos, rather than the news footage, that seared the deepest. I remember the photos and the photographers: Larry Burrow's color work from the field of battle, exhausted men and blood-stained ban- dages against the brown earth; Henri Huet, a French-Vietnamese As- sociated Press photographer, took pictures with the eye of a poet; the classic images that I would see again and again in my youth: Eddie Adams' Saigon execution photo; Nick Ut's picture of the napalmed girl running down Highway One. These photos were credited with 69 CREATIVE LIVES turning the American public against the war. These photos provided evidence of people's lives, their suffering, American foreign-policy failures; realities that needed to change.

  • ESSENTIAL QUESTION How Did Changes in the Technology of Record Manufacturing Effect Popular Music, Radio, and the People Who Consumed Both?
    THE SHORT AND LONG OF IT: HOW 45 RPM SINGLES AND 33 1/3 RPM ALBUMS HELPED SHAPE RADIO AND AMERICAN CULTURE OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How did changes in the technology of record manufacturing effect popular music, radio, and the people who consumed both? OVERVIEW The earliest recordings made with Thomas Edison’s phonograph in 1877 required no electricity. To record, musicians directed their performances into a large, funnel-shaped horn. The narrow end of this horn was attached to a needle that recorded the sound vibration by cutting a groove into a wax cylinder as it was rotated by turning a crank. To play the sound captured on that wax cylinder, this process was reversed. Though the improvements to this process have been many, the basic concept of making “records” in the pre-digital era continued to involve capturing sound in the form of indentations on a material surface. What did change over the course of time was the surface on which records were made. Wax cylinders were replaced by flat shellac discs. Shellac however was hard, heavy, and, worse, breakable. Vinyl, the more flexible compound still used for records today, was introduced in the 1930s. With the introduction of vinyl, fierce competition within the recording industry led to two closely timed technological advances in the late 1940s. First, in 1948, Columbia Records introduced the “Long Player,” a 12-inch record that rotated at 33 1/3 rpm and held almost three times as much music as previous records, roughly 18 minutes per side. The following year, Columbia’s main competitor, RCA Victor, released a new 45 rpm 7-inch record.

  • Stockton Goes to the Beach Presents Ronnie Spector of the Ronettes
    Stockton Goes to the Beach Presents Ronnie Spector of the Ronettes Coming to the Cape May Convention Center July 29 For Immediate Release Wednesday, June 26, 2013 Contact: Suzé DiPietro Interim Director, Stockton PAC Galloway Township, NJ 08205 [email protected] (609) 652-4927 Galloway Township, NJ – The 12th annual Stockton Goes to the Beach Summer Concert Series continues at the Cape May Convention Center in Cape May, NJ for the summer of 2013, with Ronnie Spector and her revolutionary performing style lighting up the stage on Monday, July 29 at 8 p.m. Spector’s sensuality, dress, attitude and sound have served as an inspiration for a generation of rock ‘n’ roll women. Tickets are priced at $35 and may be ordered online at www.capemaycity.com or by calling 1-855-708-9699 or by going to the Cape May Convention Center. Beginning in 1963, Ronnie Spector - as lead singer of the ultimate girl group, The Ronettes - recorded a long string of classic pop hits: powerful, poignant teen anthems such as the Grammy Award-winning “Walking in the Rain,” “Do I Love You,” “Baby I Love You,” “The Best Part of Breaking Up,” “I Can Hear Music,” and the international Number One smash, “Be My Baby.” Only a few artists in history have been capable of defining an entire era in pop music. Ronnie Spector is one of those artists: the embodiment of the heart, soul, and passion of female rock and roll in the 1960s. And to this day, no one has ever surpassed Ronnie's powerful Colpix label.

    THE WARS OF DON MCCULLIN Michel Guerrin & Alain Frachon, "Les guerres de Don McCullin" Le Monde, 15 -19 August 2018, various pages. A suite of articles written for the summer edition of Le Monde by Michel Guerrin and Alain Frachon, journalists with Le Monde. DON MCCULLIN, PHOTOGRAPHER 1 | 6 From his poor childhood to his landscapes, passing through Vietnam, for this British master of photography, all is conflict. Le Monde went to visit him and retraces the journey which led him from the gangs of London to his fame. Batcombe, Somerset (UK) - Special correspondents The photographer closes the door of his darkroom – the room of his “ghosts.” It is from there which they emerge, the “ghosts,” from a prefabricated cabin behind the house. They come from four immaculate white bins – developer, bath, fiXer and wash. Beside these are the enlargers, and on shelves there are reams of paper, all of which float in a putrid smell of potassium iodide. “You know that almost everything happens here, in this darkroom,” says Donald McCullin: siXty years of photography of which eighteen were devoted to war. “Soon, I’m going to get rid of all of it. I am at the end of my journey.” It is hard to believe. This man risked a thousand deaths in wars. In 2016 again, he was in Iraq. He was injured in Cambodia, beaten up in prisons in Idi Amin Dada. A price was put on his head in Lebanon. In PalmyrA, Syria, only two years ago, his lung was pierced from a fall. “I paid a good price,” he says, but in half a century of reportage in the form of ‘eXtreme journalism’, McCullin was never K.O.

  • HENRI HUET Photographe De La Guerre Du Vietnam
    HENRI HUET Photographe de la guerre du Vietnam Henri Huet © AP Le 10 février 1971, le photographe français Henri Huet, qui travaillait pour l'agence américaine Associated Press depuis 6 ans (AP), disparaît : son hélicoptère est abattu par des tirs du Vietcong au-dessus du Laos. Les Vietcongs sont ravitaillés par la fameuse piste Ho Chi Minh qui, côté Laos, longe la frontière. En 1971, les américains décident d’envahir le Laos en envoyant les troupes sud-vietnamiennes. En même temps qu'Henri Huet, trois autres photographes ont péri dans l'attaque de son hélicoptère : le Japonais Keisaburo Shimamoto (Newsweek), l'Américain Kent Potter (United Press International), et le Britannique Larry Burrows, star du magazine Life. Dans le domaine du photojournalisme, les photos en noir et blanc d’Henri Huet de la guerre du Vietnam sont une référence pour les photographes d’aujourd’hui. A leur époque, elles ont changé la façon dont l’Amérique voyait la guerre. Elles eurent plus d’impact que les millions de mots qui emplissaient les journaux. Henri Huet était très à l’aise avec les soldats dans la jungle et dans la boue des marais "comme on va au bureau, au moins cinq jours par semaine, et cela chaque semaine", selon les mots de son collègue et ami Horst Faast. Il partageait leur détresse, jour et nuit. Les officiers demandaient souvent qu’on leur envoyât Henri car ils aimaient discuter avec lui. La compassion faisait partie de ses qualités et il savait la traduire en photographie. http://www.lintermede.com/exposition-henri-huet-guerre-du-vietnam-mep-maison-europeenne-de-la- photographie.php https://www.mep-fr.org/event/henri-huet/ Avant, pendant la seconde guerre mondiale, la photographie de la guerre était surtout le fait de militaires.
