Register here for tonight's (THURSDAY Jan 15) event at the @nypl.bsky.social for Edward McPherson's new book, "Look Out," a beautiful rumination on the how we see the world and how the world, or at least corporations and governments, see us. I'll be Q-ing his As! www.showclix.com/event/snfllo...

I wrote a book about a man from Ireland who photographed the US Civil War and then kept photographing US war. He came from Ireland at the beginning of the Great Famine, when the Irish were being displaced and the Americans who had just been displaced (Cherokee, Choctaw) proclaimed their solidarity.

Yes, my new book (DOUBLE EXPOSURE, from @fsgbooks.bsky.social) does have PANAMA at its center, the convoluted deal to control a canal, as executed by the good friends of the Civil War photographer's weird and wild boss, Clarence King!!

Tomorrow, I'm at NYU, talking about war in the North American landscape, during the so-called Civil War and after -- i.e., then and now. There will be slides! RSVP here: as.nyu.edu/research-cen...

I'm going to be at NYU this Friday, taking about photographs by the most famous & mysterious Civil War photographer-the pictures he took when he went west, after the war. But then, the war didn't end; it transformed. Prof John Waters will be keeping me in line. RSVP here!! as.nyu.edu/research-cen...

I wrote this book, & it seems that it is going to come out at last, after a long time (1) thinking about the photographer whose steps I retraced to make it & (2) walking around in the places where he made pictures, haunting, beautiful, intriguing, mysterious pictures us.macmillan.com/books/978037...
