![]() ![]() All of these people made it possible to work at breakneck speed and yet to high standards. I owe thanks to a number of people: to Tim Jefferies and David Peckman of Hamilton’s Gallery, to Vasilios Zatse and Matthew Krejcarek and their colleagues at the Irving Penn Foundation, and to Sandra Klimt, who produced the book. The text is as published (without the notes). I do not often reprint texts published elsewhere: I’ve enjoyed writing it: that’s why it reappears here. ![]() The catalogue is a very limited edition, and – as bloggers do – I wanted to reach as large a number of people as possible, so I have asked for permission for the catalogue text to be reprinted here. This means that a large number of visitors to London have the opportunity to visit these less known but high-quality pictures, and to purchase them as may be. It runs at Hamiltons throughout the summer, until 13 September 2013. The catalogue is beautifully produced and is now out as the show has opened. ![]() ![]() I hoped that by treating these pictures exactly as though they were made today, and reacting to them as if they were a recent offering by an artist at his peak, I might bring a little freshness as well as appreciation. I was glad to write it, as I find that the scholarship of Penn seems a little unchanging. Copyright © by The Irving Penn FoundationĪ number of weeks ago I was asked by Hamiltons Gallery in London to write a catalogue text on a group of pictures by Irving Penn which are less known than many, but seemed to have interesting characteristics of their own. ![]() ![]() ![]() Williams (ibid) explains that the shift in meaning onto people came through metaphor, initially with particular reference to the face. The image is significant, for if we examine the etymology of ‘character’, we are taken back to the Greek for ‘sharpening’, ‘furrowing’, or ‘engraving’: the techniques used for imprinting lettering, signs and symbols (Williams 1988: 234). The navvy waking from sleep and without malice heaving a stone to crush the life out of his still sleeping comrade, is understood to lack the trained motive which makes a character fairly calculable in his actions.(Eliot 1974: 364) (Daniel Deronda)Įliot presents us with the unpredictability of human nature each of us at the mercy of individual biology, that ‘strange spiritual chemistry’, is, although ‘fairly calculable’, simultaneously capable of working against the ordered patterns of character formation we have previously etched. ![]() We mortals have a strange spiritual chemistry going on within us, so that a lazy stagnation, or even a cottony milkiness may be preparing one knows not what biting or explosive material. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We have deemed that the majority of Luke’s books need new titles. Industry guidelines suggest that for minor changes in fiction titles, a new edition labeled “revised” will suffice, but for major changes, the work needs a new title. As his publisher, Watersgreen House has debated how to handle the new editions, which we believe to be universally better than the old. Publisher's Note: Luke Hartwell has spent the past two years rewriting all of his previously published books. Luke Hartwell, known for his honest portrayals of young adult sexuality and his compelling first-person narrators, has written a beautiful story with characters readers will want to befriend. The relationship that develops between the two boys is one of the most heart-warming and seductive in coming of age literature. When a young boy at a bowling alley has his cheeseburger delivered by a handsome future air force cadet, an infatuation develops so strong that three years later, when he learns the older boy's home town, he sets off on his bike to find him. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's her chance to follow her heart, but she'll have to leave everything behind - her ailing grandmother, her friends, her radio show.and a chance at her very own happy ending. But when Ingrid lands an interview in New York City for the internship of a lifetime, her secret life begins to unravel. There is one caller in particular - Dark and Brooding - whose raspy laugh and snarky humor are just sexy enough to take her mind off the fact that Micah is rapidly falling for a Mean Girls-worthy nightmare. Thankfully her three best friends - Billie, LD, and Micah (who she is definitely, absolutely not in love with) - are more concerned with spending one last epic summer together than finding out where Ingrid slinks off to every weekend.īut for that one glorious hour every Saturday night, Iggy shucks her own skin to become Niteowl - an infamous and daring deejay with the answers to everyone's love life but her own. ![]() ![]() ![]() Finally a high school grad, she can't wait to get out of her tiny hometown of Steadfast, Nebraska (population 347), to chase her dreams.

Interacting With ObjectsĪt its core, design is any human influence on the physical world. In doing so, he makes all of us smarter consumers and helps designers create products that work with users, rather than against them. In The Design of Everyday Things (originally released in 1988 under the title The Psychology of Everyday Things and revised in 2013), cognitive psychologist and engineer Don Norman explores the ways people understand and interact with the physical environment (this is sometimes referred to as “user experience”). More often than not, the true culprit in cases of “human error” is actually bad design. When we struggle with one of these designs, we assume that our difficulties are our own fault, or that we’re just not smart enough to figure it out. From doorknobs to smartphone apps, design pervades our lives to the point that it often becomes completely invisible. 1-Page Summary 1-Page Book Summary of The Design of Everyday ThingsĮvery man-made object, environment, or program in our world is designed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jo-Ann’s book Taking Back Our Spirits: Indigenous Literature, Public Policy, and Healing (2009) won the Saskatchewan Book Award for Scholarly Writing in 2009 and the First Peoples Writing Award in 2010.
