Book Description: National Geographic Society, United States, 2008. Hardback. Book Condition: New. 257 x 292 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Some pictures are made over time, others in a split second. Readers accompany Abell as he thinks and works his way through difficult situations calling for innovative technique, physical risk, diplomacy, great patience, a sense of humour and above all, innate seeing. Photographing, instead of panicking, as a small plane is struck by lightening; gaining access to celebrities, including Bono, the Emperor of Japan, the painter Willem DeKooning; walking into chaotic situations and making snap judgements; making exquisite photographs of things others would walk right by.Drawing on 40 years of fieldwork, "The Life of a Photograph" is organised by the themes Abell has photographed. These range from the sweepingly beautiful Portraits, landscapes and Wildlife to the surprising "Just Looking" (quirky scenes encountered on assignment), "On the Road" (scenes from automobiles), and "Cultural Landscapes" (human impacts on pristine land). Photographs cover geography and wildlife from the Arctic to the Amazon, and cultures from Australia to Japan to the American West.Anecdotes, explanations, and fascinating 'walk-ups' to final, finished images allow readers to see the evolution, frame-by-frame and thought-by-thought, of some of the world's most interesting and recognized photographs.
