"Abilene spang up on the West Texas plains in 1881 and came of age during the last decades of the nineteenth century, just as technological advences were making photographs affordable and accessible to everyone. From the start, Abilenians photographed their home town with an avidity and pride; this enthusiam is reflected in this book, a photographic self-portrait and celebration of Abilene's first 100 years. The photographs in this book chart Abilene's evolution from frontier cowtown to modern city. An image of cowboys gathered around a chuckwagon gives way to a photograph of young girls eating fast food in a covered mall. But a common theme runs through the historical photographs and the work by five contemporary photographers; Abilene is a town of proud, hard-working and church-going people. The people of Abilene are to be commended for this project. By Combining in one publication historical photographs and contemporary photographs of their community, they call attention to the importance of every communty's photographic legacy to preserve old photographs and to see that exciting new work continues to be done."--Marni Sandweiss, Curator of Photographs, Amon Cart Museum, Fort Worth.--From back cover.

"People's Lives records a photographic journey in celebration of the human spirit. In sixty-nine duotone images taken around the world, Bill Wright captures what is best in people - our joy, love, hope, and humor, as well as our ability to thrive even in the toughest circumstances. Many of the photographs are accompanied by extended captions in which Wright describes the encounters that produced them. In the preface, he also discusses the development of his photographic career and artistic philosophy and his methods of working. Sam Abell, the noted National Geographic magazine photographer, offers a perceptive assessment and appreciation of Wright's work in the introduction." "For thirty-five years, Bill Wright combined photography with a successful business career in west Texas. Since 1990, he has been a full-time photographer and writer, whose work has appeared in numerous exhibitions and in the books Portraits from the Desert: Bill Wright's Big Bend, The Texas Kickapoo: Keepers of Tradition, and The Tiguas: Pueblo Indians of Texas. His photographic journeys have taken him to over sixty countries, and his award-winning photography is included in both domestic and international collections, including the Museum of New Mexico, the Amon Garter Museum, the Houston Museum of Fine Arts, the National Museum of American Art, and the British Library."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Texas can boast of many diverse photographic collections--at least 350 in all. Held in public and private institutions, corporations, and governmental agencies, major and minor collections account for more than 100,000 photographs worldwide as well as national and regional interest. This guide to all the major and most of the minor photographic collections in Texas lists each by city; library, museum, or archive; and collection within that institution. For the major collections a statement of purpose gives the institution's nature and the types of material it collects, including nonphotographic materials. Other important information provided by the guide includes: addresses, hours, assistance available, permission fee requirements, and finding aids; statements of scope and listings of the locales represented; listings of the subjects and people pictured in the collections; a bibliography of publications that reproduce the collection's photographs; tables showing the number from each time period of each type of photograph, negative, or album; photographer's names and studios and other corporate identities responsible for the photographs; descriptions of the record groups included in the collections, including reference numbers, titles, subjects, responsible agencies, physical descriptions, and span dates; separate indexes to institutions, subjects, persons, locations, and photographers. This important reference, the only published record of photographic collections in Texas, will be a welcome tool for scholars, research librarians, collectors, and museum curators nationwide.--Cover.

Setting out in the spring of 1990 'to look for America', when patriotic travel was suddenly back in fashion, William Zinsser made first-time pilgrimages to some of America's most cherished and visited historic sites: Mount Rushmore, Rockefeller Center, Yellowstone National Park, Pearl Harbor, even the "corny and obvious" Niagara Falls. At these and his other iconic destinations, Zinsser unlearned clichéd assumptions and rediscovered fundamental truths about America. Originally published in 1992, AMERICAN PLACES and the ideals that Zinsser discovers these places represent will never go out of fashion.
