GERMAN PHOTOGRAPHY TODAY

Martin Denker, Hans Kotter, Candida Hofer, Hannes Norberg, Thomas Ruff and Thomas Struth. Curated by Sarah Puschel.

The success of German photography in the art world has to do with the precision with which they executed their photos. Since World War II, photography has been taught in many places in Germany, where it was taught in a noncommercial, artistic way.

They worked with large-format cameras and sharp images. There were a few specific subjects that seemed destined to play a central role in this kind of photography, primarily architecture.

Thomas Struth, with his views of streets from all over the world; Thomas Ruff, with architectural images as well as other directions, Candida Hofer, with her interiors, Hannes Norberg with his enlarged settings, Hans Kotter with Light-Experiments and Martin Denker with his surrealistic expression.This is German Photography Today.

JOHN WILKES BOOTH - FOR FREE!

The common wisdom is that John Wilkes Booth, the assassin of Abraham Lincoln, was a madman and a failure as an actor.

But the truth is that Wilkes was the matinee idol of his time – and the attack on Lincoln was not the act of a maniac, but a part of a plan developed at the highest levels of the Confederacy.

In “Consider the Elephant,” the story of Wilkes’ life and death is told by his brother, Edwin, the greatest Shakespearean actor of his age. Soaked in the ambiance of life in the American theater in the mid nineteenth century, the novel by Aram Schefrin lays out in detail the path Wilkes took to the top of the celebrity heap, his rivalry with his brother and the development in Richmond of the plot to kidnap – later assassinate – the Union President.

You can read the entire novel, or listen to it, for free - at ConsiderTheElephant.com. This is one of the first novels with hyperlinks built in - if you're reading along and are puzzled or curious, click on the links to fund much more information on the facts on which the book is based.

If you prefer not to read the book on your computer screen, copy and print out the chapters. Or get it for your PDA or cell phone at mobipocket.com. Or for your Amazon Kindle. Or you can download the audio at iTunes, Amazon.com or Audible.com.

OKAY, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS LIST?

Aram Schefrin is the author of four novels. A student of Stephen Sondheim and Carlos Montoya, he co-founded and was the lyricist and guitarist for the jazz/rock group Ten Wheel Drive, which had its standing ovations in the late '60's and early seventies. After five years on the road, he retired to the studio where he produced several early disco hits. A graduate of Columbia College and Harvard Law School, he returned to the practice of law in 1977. He now practices in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Florida, and lives in Wellington, Florida with his wife, two dogs, four cats and three polo ponies. You can learn about him at aramschefrin.com and reach him at arslaw@comcast.net. Right now, he's writing an opera.

Aram has exquisite taste, if he does say so himself. He trusts his choices, and so should you.
