A camera and a show; that's all you need. Tasked with taking pictures of rock concerts on behalf of a local radio station, Steven Sanchez turned his love of music into a passion for photography, attending performances in every type of venue-from clubs and outdoors festivals to acoustic showcases and arena spectacles. His photography includes a huge array of artists from different genres (rock, rap, folk, indie) ranging from upcoming bands, to Grammy winning musicians, to true legends. And he accomplished it all in a city that isn't particularly known for its music scene or as a top choice for touring artists. In this book, he takes you behind the scenes at these concerts and shows how you can achieve similar results, capturing the emotion, energy, and artistry of live music wherever you live.

There are millions of images of marijuana plants and buds on the Internet, sold as prints and posters, and bound in books-but few bring new life to the subject. In this book, photographer Chris LaPrise offers a view of the plant "e;through a different lens,"e; capturing intricate detail through macro photography and using postproduction processes (including the creation of mirrored images) to produce highly artistic, hypnotic impressions of cannabis that "e;don't actually exist, but are there to be found and brought into the light."e; While Chris appreciates the beauty of the plant as a whole, he feels that capturing extreme closeups produces images that stimulate the brain and activate the imagination. In the images in this evocative book, viewers will notice faces, shapes, and beings as the brain seeks to see more deeply and feed its desire to recognize and appreciate something different and unusual-but beautiful in its own right.

One of the most recognizable groups of birds in the world, Penguins offer a host of surprises. Normally associated with the frigid and inhospitable continent of Antarctica, just two species are found only here. Penguins are found throughout sub-Antarctic and even cool-temperate climates, spanning the southern hemisphere from southern South America, southwestern Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, and in multiple remote islands in the southern oceans. Joe and Mary Ann McDonald provide stunning images of these birds and introduces readers to most penguin species found worldwide-from the largest, the emperor penguin to the tiny fairy penguin found on the warm beaches of southern Australia, and Joe shows how these remarkable birds have conquered habitats few other species dare even visit and establish nesting colonies that may number in the hundreds of thousands. Readers will discover penguins' life histories and their peculiarities and gain an appreciation and new understanding of these charming tuxedo-clad birds.
