New York: genetica, inc, 2002. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. Very good. Kevin Clarke. Bibliographic information states 96 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Slight cover wear and sticker residue. The contents of this book are the subject of an exhibition tour which opened at the International Center of Photography in New York, June 28-September 1, 2002. Every Sept. 11, Michael Collarone, a Brooklyn-bred florist who goes by Mikey Flowers, has the same routine. In the hours before 8:46 a.m., the time the first plane struck the World Trade Center 19 years ago, he parks his truck in downtown Manhattan and, bearing buckets of angelic white roses, walks to the site where he once helped scour for victims' remains in the twin towers' smoldering wreckage. There, the burly 62-year-old meets up with "my guys" from the Port Authority police. This year, he will be wearing a mask for the first time and, for social distancing reasons, the victims' names will be played from recordings on a loudspeaker rather than read aloud from a stage, but little else will change for him. "I'm going to hug my friends," he says. "I'm going to hug my guys." Collarone's steadfast devotion to honoring the victims of 9/11 isn't a once-a-year kind of thing, though. He's been the de facto volunteer florist to Ground Zero since it was known around the city as the Pile or the Pit. And that didn't change when the novel coronavirus forced New York to freeze in place in March, and the National September 11 Memorial Museum chained off its eight-acre plaza. A couple of days a week, as he's done for the past eight years following the memorial's opening, Collarone or members of his shop would drop off a donation of 50 to 100 white roses. This book combines a first person account of the events of September 11 with a uniquely artistic view of the DNA recovery effort. Gripping texts and award winning photography combine to create a unique documentary of Mikey Flowers' experience. On the morning of September 11, 2001, a florist and volunteer Emergency Medical Technician named Mikey Flowers grabbed his digital camera and ran the few blocks from his store to the World Trade Center after the first plane hit the north tower. That day he helped people who escaped the towers, tended to the injured, and miraculously survived when the south tower collapsed. When he was able he took pictures of the stupefying chaotic scene. The images that Flowers took became the basis of a collaboration with the artist Kevin Clarke, whose studio was also near the WTC. Since 1988, Clarke has been making unique portraits combining photographic images and his subject's DNA sequences. For this collaboration, Clarke used Flowers' images of 9/11 and its aftermath for portraits of people who survived the attacks or who were involved in the rescue effort. A view of smoke billowing from the ruins behind a group of firefighters is overlaid with the DNA sequence of 13-year-old Ty Fujimora, who was evacuated from a school near the towers; another of the smoldering remains is paired with the genetic code of firefighter Dennis Grady; a third, which shows the south tower soon after it was hit, is covered with Flowers' DNA code. Among the other subjects represented in the project are Port Authority police officer Tom Kennedy, Police Detective Roger Parrino, Sr., and rescue volunteers Amy Wallin and Tony B. The resulting pieces are poignant tributes to the people who lost their lives and to those who tried to find survivors. His usual method is to get to know the person and then to spend weeks or even months looking for an object or scene in which he "recognizes" the individual. He then photographs it, digitally manipulates the color and image, and overlays it with the subject's genetic code, which is sequenced by a laboratory from blood donated by the subject. For this collaboration, Clarke used Flowers' images of 9/11 and its aftermath for portraits of people who survived the attacks or who were involved in the rescue effort., genetica, inc, 2002, 3, New York: Oxford University Press, 2000. First Printing [Stated]. Trade paperback. Very good. viii, [2], 221, [9] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Index. Katherine Kinney is a professor in the English department at University of California Riverside. Hundreds of memoirs, novels, plays, and movies have been devoted to the American war in Vietnam. In spite of the great variety of media, political perspectives and the degrees of seriousness with which the war has been treated, Katherine Kinney argues that the vast majority of these works share a single story: that of Americans killing Americans in Vietnam. Friendly Fire, in this instance, refers not merely to a tragic error of war, it also refers to America's war with itself during the Vietnam years. Starting from this point, this book considers the concept of "friendly fire" from multiple vantage points, and portrays the Vietnam age as a crucible where America's cohesive image of itself is shattered--pitting soldiers against superiors, doves against hawks, feminism against patriarchy, racial fear against racial tolerance. Through the use of extensive evidence from the film and popular fiction of Vietnam (e.g. Kovic's Born on the Fourth of July, Didion's Democracy, O'Brien's Going After Cacciato, Rabe's Sticks and Bones and Streamers), Kinney draws a powerful picture of a nation politically, culturally, and socially divided, and a war that has been memorialized as a contested site of art, media, politics, and ideology., Oxford University Press, 2000, 3, Melbourne : Melbourne Books, 2014. Quarto, boards in illustrated dust jacket, pp. vii; [i]; 17 - 376, illustrated. 'When Georges closed its doors on 5 October 1995, it had been trading for 115 years. Yet this famous department store, situated in the 'Paris End' of Collins Street, still lingers in the minds of many today. Remembering Georges documents the memories of staff and clients before this living connection fades. The unique 'voice' of each interviewee shines through, because the memories are in their own words. This richly illustrated book displays some of the fabulous images associated with Georges, reflecting the style and elegance of the store itself. Georges devotees, as well as those interested in fashion, design, and Melbourne's retail and social history, will revel in the stories held within. ' I, like many other people, remember Georges very fondly. I wanted to document the memories of staff and clients, and display some of the fabulous images associated with the store, before this living connection is lost. Alan Black, for example, is 94 years old, and has some wonderful stories about the store during his long time spent there as Buyer for Georg Jensen, Stuart Devlin, Waterford and Marghab linen. Nancy Balding worked at Georges between 1948 and 1989, and served in the famous Front Showroom, which carried the most fabulous of fashion and clientele. Michael Shmith, son of the photographer Athol and model 'Bambi' Shmith, talks of his devotion to the store almost being ruined by the sight of a price-tag on a handkerchief displayed in the windows. The 'voice' of each interviewee comes through, because the memories are in their own words.' - Annette Cooper  , 0, Chicago, IL: Stephen Daiter Gallery, 2018. First Edition. First Printing..

Classic photographs by Berenice Abbott, Helen Levitt, Ralph Eugene Meatyard, Eugene Richards, Sabine Weiss, Lou Stoumen, Louis Stettner, Garry Winogrand, Duane Michals, Ruth Orkin, Leon Levinstein, and Margaret Bourke-White, among others, give a pretty good idea of the world-class quality - and significance - of the 750 photographs that John Cleary amassed over decades of collecting he devoted single-mindedly to children, that most appealing and heartbreaking of images (therefore prone to sentimentality and bathos) . As these selections show, Cleary was well aware of the pitfalls, collected with discriminating taste and with an eye, as it were, for their genuine value to posterity.
