Sinopse

"Fake Photographs" explores the long and often deceptive history of image manipulation, revealing how altered and staged photographs have shaped public perception and historical narratives. From early darkroom trickery to modern digital editing, the book uncovers the motivations behind photographic deception, examining instances of propaganda, political manipulation, and artistic expression. One might be surprised to learn how early war reportage was often staged, or how deeply ingrained image manipulation is within the medium itself.

 
The book progresses through case studies, analyzing specific instances of photographic deception, including propaganda images and manipulated media influencing public opinion. It emphasizes that photographic manipulation is not a recent phenomenon but an inherent aspect of the medium itself. By blending historical analysis with practical techniques for identifying image manipulation, the book provides readers with the critical tools to navigate the complexities of visual media and encourages a more informed approach to the images we consume daily.

 
Ultimately, "Fake Photographs" provides a framework for understanding the creation, dissemination, and impact of manipulated images. It culminates in a discussion of ethical responsibilities in the digital age, addressing the roles of photographers, editors, and viewers in mitigating the influence of fake photographs. The book aims to empower readers to become more critical consumers of visual information, questioning the authenticity of images encountered online and in various media.

D'Angelo's Voodoo - cover

D'Angelo's Voodoo

Voodoo, D'Angelo's much-anticipated 2000 release, set the standard for the musical cycle ordained as "neo-soul," a label the singer and songwriter would reject more than a decade later. The album is a product of heightened emotions and fused sensibilities; an amalgam of soul, rock, jazz, gospel, hip-hop, and Afrobeats. D'Angelo put to music his own pleasures and insecurities as a man-child in the promised land. It was both a tribute to his musical heroes: Prince, Sly Stone, Marvin Gaye, J Dilla...and a deconstruction of rhythm and blues itself.Despite nearly universal acclaim, the sonic expansiveness of Voodoo proved too nebulous for airplay on many radio stations, seeping outside the accepted lines of commercial R&B music. Voodoo was Black, it was definitely magic, and it was nearly overshadowed by a four-minute music video featuring D'Angelo's sweat-glistened six-pack abs. "The Video" created an accentuated moment when the shaman lost control of the spell he cast.

The world's first auto-song-ography! Linn Lorkin sat at a piano so that she could read her memoir playing and singing as she went. The result is an audiobook that will make you laugh and cry ... and tap your feet. It’s the fabulously entertaining tale of a farm-girl from New Zealand, a country with no show-business culture whatsoever (at the time), who forges her own path and ends up playing and singing in some of the glittering capitals of the world. A colourful, funny, at times almost unbelievable, story – witness her first professional gig singing for prostitutes and sailors in Copenhagen and her stint in a dire Naples prison – is brought to life by this born performer’s own voice and snippets of her own songs. Prepare to fall in love with Linn Lorkin, her story and her music.
