For over 30 years, The New York Times Magazine has been synonymous with the myriad possibilities and applications of photography. The New York Times Magazine: Photographs reflects upon and interrogates the very nature of both photography and print ma gazines at this pivotal moment in their history and evolution. Edited by Kathy Ryan, longtime photo editor of the Magazine, and with a preface by former editorial director Gerald Marzorati, this volume presents some of the finest commissioned photogr aphs worldwide in four sections: reportage, portraiture, style and conceptual photography, including photo illustration. Diverse in content and sensibility, and consistent in virtuosity, the photographs are accompanied by reproduced tear sheets to al low for the examination of sequencing and the interplay between text and image, simultaneously presenting the work while illuminating its distillation to magazine form. This process is explored further through texts offering behind-the-scenes perspec tive and anecdotes by the many photographers, writers, editors and other collaborators whose voices have been a part of the magazine over the years. Issues of documentary photography are addressed in relation to more conceptual photography; the effic acy of storytelling; and what makes an image evidentiary, objective, subjective, truthful or a tool for advocacy; as well as thoughts on whether these matters are currently moot, or more critical than ever. As such, The New York Times Magazine: Photo graphs serves as a springboard for a rigorous, necessary and revitalized examination of photography as presented within a modern journalistic context.

Flemish painting flourished from the early 15th century until the 17th century to Belgium and Holland. Flanders delivered the leading painters in Northern Europe and attracted many promising young painters from neighbouring countries. The most famous painters of the period were from Flanders and their influence went across all of Europe

The glamour goes on. This title emphasizes on the delightfully curvy female foot. Our first Ed Fox title, "Glamour From the Ground Up", introduced the heir to the peculiar photographic niche long ruled by the great Elmer Batters. California native Fo x had not even heard of Batters when he first started photographing women with an emphasis on their feet. In fact, he thought he was the only young man who checked out a woman's feet before her face, and most of the time couldn't meet his models' eye s for fear they'd discern his secret. Then he became the official foot photographer for "Leg Show" magazine, just months before Batters' death, and learned of the big shoes he had to fill at the same time he realized there were thousands of men just like himself - except without the talent to capture their passion on film, or as today, in pixels. Since then, Ed Fox has become internationally known for a sensual photographic style that captures every curve of a woman's body, right down to the tip s of her toes. In "Ed Fox II" he brings us voluptuous new models, arresting locations - many blending the desert landscapes of Southern California with Fox's passion for automobiles - and fantasies mild to extra spicy, all shot in warm, caressing nat ural light. And, like "Glamour From the Ground Up", "Ed Fox II" comes with a 60-minute original DVD, bringing the still photos to vibrant life

Bruce Gilden's childhood in Brooklyn endowed him with a keen eye for observing urban behaviors and customs. He studied sociology, but his interest in photography grew when he saw Michelangelo Antonioni's film "Blow-Up", after which he began taking ni ght classes in photography at the New York School of Visual Arts. Gilden's curiosity about strong characters and individual peculiarities has been present from the beginning of his career. His first major project, which he worked on until 1986, focus ed on Coney Island, and on the intimacy of the sensual, fat or skinny bodies sprawled across the legendary New York beach. During these early years Gilden also photographed in New Orleans during its famous Mardi Gras festival. Then, in 1984, he began to work in Haiti, following his fascination with voodoo places, rites and beliefs there; his book "Haiti" was published in 1996. Since joining Magnum he has based himself in New York whilst travelling the world on photographic assignments.
