"For over six decades, Robert Doisneau cast his net in still waters, light years away from the predatory news photographers of today, "feeling his way", in his own words, 'prompted by feelings of attraction and repulsion, tossed hither and thither by events, and allowing intuition its head - even when it kicked over the traces..."
Doisneau delighted in gleaning the instant. Clear of gaze, a man with a winning smile, he liked to say "I never noticed time passing, I was too taken up with the spectacle afforded by my contemporaries, that gratuitous, never-ending show for which no ticket is needed, and when the occasion arose, I offered them, in passing, the ephemeral solace of an image". Throughout the years Doisneau captured, day after day, "the ordinary gestures of ordinary people in ordinary situations". Joys he felt and discoveries he made as he walked the city make up the subject-matter of his photographs: "There are days when simply seeing feels like happiness itself ... You feel so rich, the elation seems almost excessive and you want to share it"..."

Once a fishing town nestled on the banks of the Yangtze River Delta on the east cost of China, Shanghai is now the country’s largest city and one of the world’s busiest ports.

Your heart beats only with their permission.
Everything changed on The Day. The day the windows shattered. The day the power stopped. The day Dol's family dropped dead. The day Earth lost a war it didn't know it was fighting.
Since then, Dol has lived a simple life in the countryside -- safe from the shadow of the Icon and its terrifying power. Hiding from the one truth she can't avoid.
She's different. She survived. Why?
When Dol and her best friend, Ro, are captured and taken to the Embassy, off the coast of the sprawling metropolis once known as the City of Angels, they find only more questions. While Ro and fellow hostage Tima rage against their captors, Dol finds herself drawn to Lucas, the Ambassador's privileged son. But the four teens are more alike than they might think, and the timing of their meeting isn't a coincidence. It's a conspiracy.
Within the Icon's reach, Dol, Ro, Tima, and Lucas discover that their uncontrollable emotions -- which they've always thought to be their greatest weaknesses -- may actually be their greatest strengths.
Bestselling author Margaret Stohl delivers the first book in a heart-pounding series set in a haunting new world where four teens must piece together the mysteries of their pasts -- in order to save the future.

В каждом из двух томов книги "Знаменитые фотографии" представлено 20 расположенных в хронологическом порядке фотографий, охватывающих период примерно в 170 лет. Каждая из них - ключевой образ в истории фотографии: образ, который двигал ее вперед в техническом, эстетическом и социальном смысле. Существует традиция рассматривать эти "знаменитые фотографии" сами по себе, по отдельности. Самой известной в этом смысле является классическая книга Джона Шарковски "Looking at Photographs", впервые опубликованная в 1973 г. Однако, выходя за рамки ассоциативного, журналистского стиля Шарковски, два представленных вниманию читателей тома предлагают глубокий анализ содержания каждой фотографии. От истории восприятия конкретной фотографии мы переходим к вопросу о том, когда и как появился конкретный мотив: визуальное измерение центральных категорий человеческого опыта. В книге нашли свое отражение почти все технические приемы и основные сферы применения (от портрета до пейзажа, от обнаженной натуры до моментальных снимков), что одновременно превращает эти два тома в "краткую историю фотографии". Это побуждает нас критически изучать фотографии, смотреть на них более внимательно и с большим пониманием.
