In the photos, the introduction by Gilbert M. Grosvenor, president and chairman of the National Geographic Society are preceded by, I was a double-sided image fascinated. Steve McCurry has included it in 1983 in Rajasthan in India. Women in wonderful, wine-red robes seek protection from the sand storms that often blow before the start of the monsoon over the plains of Rajasthan. At their ankles wear the beautiful Indian women golden tires. Densely crowded together, they hide behind a crooked tree. Only one woman is made entirely out of the storm. Nearly one has the impression that they enjoy doing the heavy touch of the storm, nearly one means it him her lover. Even the refugee girl on the cover can be seen on the input sides again. Was also photographed by Steve McCurry and that she in 1984 in Pakistan on the border with Afghanistan. Her eyes are full of fear and suggest how to read, even in a horrible war experiences.
The first Chapter begins with a photo that Gilbert H. Grosvenor has started 1920 on Hawaii. The inclusion of riders to take the fight in the 49 square-mile Haleakala Crater is hand colored. You have the opportunity to learn about this stuff early days. A hundred years ago National Geographic Society to use the photograph, for the purpose to increase the geographical knowledge and to disseminate it. The photographic style of the magazine National Geographic reach a peak, when photography was the medium for reporting on world events (see: p. 34).
After Gilbert H. Grosvenor was 1899, the first editor of this magazine, we began to use black and white photos. We learn as a result of illuminating the editor of activity in the early decades and the fact that photography is such an important aspect for the magazine developed that Grosvenor set up its own black lab, which was followed shortly afterwards even a color lab. It was the first in American publishing. After the first world war is to color photography are finally penetrated the American Journal beings. Geographic published between 1921-1930 more than 1500 car chrome images and became a renowned institution for the reproduction of color photographs.
then we read how it went with the color and history should be always impressive Recordings enjoy, such as a photo that Franz Lanting made in 1989 in Okavango, Botswana. He succeeded by means of an automatic camera, triggered by an infrared beam to capture the steps of a leopard, which he had never even seen.
James L. Stanfield real Siert a photo feature in the Vatican. He intended also to human and personal side of this ancient institution to capture and therefore shows also how the Pope is preparing to bless the crowd in St. Peter's Square. This scene is so different than that which deals with the ordination Mass in St. Peter's Basilica, in the future be ordained priests. Very nice is the photo of Pope John Paul II, which he very thoughtfully through the gardens of his summer residence in Castel Gandolfo, near Rome, as the wandering. As we learn, the photographer has the feeling that the pontiff may show in a new light, not as a public figure, but rather as a private, serene and betfreudigen man (vgl.S. 70). This is to give Stanfield mE succeeded.
The following are pictures that have developed around the globe. The photographs tell of changes in the world and are accompanied quoted very good. Artistically, the photo of Sam Abell, that this started in 1983 in Moscow. This seems simple beauty of the tensions of the Cold War to reduce, if the view through the lace curtains of the hotel window over sunlit pears across the Kremlin and other buildings on Red Square moves, (see: S.74/75).
Also impressive is a recording of Malcolm S. Kirk, which is caused to the Sepik River in Papua New Guinea. Here, a child asleep in a hanging net. So peaceful, the world can be far away from civilization (see: p. 95). It is a shame that people can bring in a review, not all images to language, because each would have deserved a few words. Am touched by the photo, has taken up the Tomasz Tomaszweski 1992 Marie Fried in Sweden. In this way each year on 13 December, the arrival of Santa Lucia celebrated.
David Alan Harvey outlined Spain with his photos. The picture that shows an apprentice bullfighter is, content has almost past, like the men in medieval sackcloth participating in the Good Friday procession of a religious brotherhood.
You learn more images to the wilderness, know the animal kingdom. These photos are about more than just beauty. The images are intended to provide informative material for the report and at the same time the personal style of the photographers. All photos in the book meet this requirement. Almost a little threatening act white wolves by Jim Brandenburg, and just fantastic all the recordings under water. Here it has done me the swarm violet Farnbarsche that glides on a yellow Demoiselle and a cup coral. With great interest I read the brief report on the Titanic recordings. Emory Kristof photographed the ship on 14 April 1912 fell after colliding with an iceberg, was loose with a camera. The cabins of the first grade should have been expected after 80 years under water or completely undamaged.
The penultimate chapter in the book are photos that have been grouped under the heading of science. Here I have the pictures of two works of art fascinates most. On the one hand, a recording of David Brill, the This was in 1975 in Turkey. It shows the marble face of Aphrodite, which they have put into the water, herauszulaugen the contaminants of nearly two millennia, on the other hand, a photo of Vic Boswll, Jr., realized in Milan, Italy, 1983, that Leonardo da Vinci's famous Last Supper, after a thorough restoration shows. The bright spots are ready. The device on the left shows the humidity in the room. The Impressions, entitled the "portrait of a people" to show people in the U.S.. Here I was attracted to the photo of Bill Hess, that it started in 1976 in Arizona in the Fort Apache Indian Reservation. According to ancient tradition, an Apache girl's entry into the commit Adults with a four-day sunrise-dance. This ancient tradition to follow, is certainly a good way because he cheered the dancers, but at the same time pays homage to the nature of their due respect.
A recommended book.
