"Cool, beautiful, intelligent and elegantly arrogant, Dr. Estelle Granger ran the hospital with an iron hand.......I was stunned one morning when she burst into my office, lips trembling with rage and tears streaming from her bruised, swollen eyes......Near collapse she hoarsely implored me, 'You Americans are the big shots now. Can't you do something? Everything is collapsing and nobody is in control! I don't care about myself! It's the patients! It's Vietnam!' Her words troubled me as much as the incident itself. And what she said was true. Nobody was in control. Meanwhile the Viet Cong and the NVA watched and waited." (Chapter 3 - Terres Rouges). "Postcards from the Past" takes the reader on a journey through time and many places; from Southeast Asia to Europe to the streets of New York City. These are all true stories although some identities and nationalities have been changed. Some are humorous, some poignant; others are filled with intrigue and murder.They are all fascinating tales which chronicle the lives of a diverse collection of people - simple villagers in Java, jaded royalty in Thailand, a 60 year-old maid in Manhattan and a host of other characters including a bunch of jailbirds.

On his many trips around the world travel writer Michael McCarthy has met thousands of people in nearly fifty countries, sometimes only for a few seconds or minutes. Most of the photos in this book are not posed or composed in traditional portrait style, but are merely quick snapshots of a magical moment that came and went. Michael's technique is to be always ready for that magic moment, with background and lighting pre-selected. Also, to make the subject of the photos feel at ease and to trust the photographer. Michael claims that a clever joke, Mark Twain-style ("Everybody complains about the weather but no one does anything about it") usually works well to elicit a natural smile.Many of the photos in this book portray a "sense of place," whether in the Cajun swamps of Louisiana or the highest inhabited villages in the Himalayas. Remote destinations and unique lifestyles are what draw Michael to wander the world, watching carefully for the opportunity to make friends and catch the memory to cherish forever. Michael's photos take the viewer on a journey that encompasses both people and the places where they live.

The book covers: • Selfies at Home: making the perfect self-portrait in cloth. • Representation and Culture: how portraits have been used in textile art for cultural expression around the world. • Stylized Imagery: going beyond the traditional portrait into abstraction. • Place and Time: creating a sense of place with portraiture, sometimes incorporating photographs. • Narratives: how to create a fuller story using deeply personal ephemera and related imagery. • Pet Projects: immortalising your pets in your textile work. Beautifully illustrated with stunning examples of her own work and that of intriguing textile artists who specialise in portraiture from around the world, this is the ideal book for embroiderers and textile artists who want to introduce this often tricky subject area into their work.
