Togetherness Redefined


Book Description

In this book, author and divergent thinker Celeste Orr shares 52 of her popular togetherness tips to help families build big family togetherness on good days and bad days, in big ways and small ways, with everything from playing board games to having one-on-ones, talking about tough issues, reframing frozen pizza nights, and going after big family dreams, long-term travel, and adventure too.As a mom of teenagers who often feels like there aren't enough hours in the day or ideas in her head, and as someone who has shared these tips with families around the world in her email group and online platform, Celeste knows no effort is too small and it's never too late to build togetherness with your family - no matter what.With real-life stories and simple, honest examples, this book gives parents, grandparents, and families of all kinds a go-to list of ideas to break the disconnect that is so often a by-product of the modern-day trappings that keep us from having the kind of family life we truly want. It's great as a one-time read and also designed for those who want to keep it at their fingertips for on-the-fly togetherness suggestions when things get sticky at home.

Uncommon Places


Book Description

"Originally published in 1982, Stephen Shore's legendary Uncommon Places has influenced more than a generation of photographers. Shore was among the first artists to take color beyond the domain of advertising and fashion photography, and his large-format color work on the American vernacular landscape stands at the root of what has become a vital photographic tradition over the past forty years. Uncommon Places: The Complete Works, published by Aperture in 2004, presents a definitive collection of the landmark series, and in the span of a decade, has become a contemporary classic. Now, for this lushly produced reissue, the artist has added twenty rediscovered images and a statement explaining what it means to expand a series now many decades old. Like Robert Frank and Walker Evans before him, Shore discovered a hitherto unarticulated vision of America via highway and camera. Approaching his subjects with cool objectivity, Shore in these images retains precise internal systems of gestures in composition and light, through which a parking lot emptied of people, a hotel bedroom, or a building on a side street assumes both an archetypal aura and an ambiguously personal importance. In contrast to his signature landscapes with which Uncommon Places is often associated, this expanded survey reveals equally remarkable collections of interiors and portraits." -- Publisher's description.

Put Yourself in His Place, Vol. 1 of 3 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Put Yourself in His Place, Vol. 1 of 3 Built up among the heathery hills in times of war and trouble, it had outlived its uses. Its people had long ago gone down into the fruitful valley, and raised another church in their midst, and left this old house of God alone, and silent as the tombs of their fore fathers that lay around it. It was no ruin, though on the road to decay. One of the side walls was much lower than the other, and the roof had two great waves; and was heavily clothed, in natural patterns, with velvet moss, and sprinkled all over with bright amber lichen: a few tiles had slipped off in two places, and showed the rafters brown with time and weather: but the structure was solid and sound; the fallen tiles lay undisturbed beneath the eaves; not a brick, not a beam, not a gravestone had been stolen, not even to build the new church: of the diamond panes full half remained; the stone font was still in its place, with its Gothic cover, richly carved; and four brasses reposed in the chancel, one Of them loose in its bed.
