Bal-A-Vis-X


Book Description

Do you teach? Do you find that, no matter how much time and energy you expend, how many different approaches you employ, regardless of subject or grade level or class size, one all-too-familiar pattern prevails: many learn much, with modest effort; many learn some, with great effort; far too many learn little, no matter how much effort? Bal-A-Vis-X enables both students and teachers to break that pattern, to work together is such a way that many more learn much, with modest effect; very many more learn more, with new found focus of effort; only a few, those who refuse, learn little. Bal-A-Vis-X is both a destination and a portal-to-beyond for any student or teacher willing to go.-- back cover

Failed Images


Book Description

'Failed Images' attempts to understand the divergence between photography and the reality it portrays, analysing the various ways the photograph transforms that which exists before the camera. Because the photographic medium enables very different practices, which in turn results in many kinds of images, it must also be examined from a perspective outside of the dominant approach to the medium, generally called the 'snapshot.' This book therefore explores the photographic image by focusing on practices which refuse this conventional approach, namely staged, blurred, under- and overexposed, and archival photography.
