Summary of Dana Stevens's Camera Man by Everest Media, Pdf
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The basketball was a Keaton prop for years to come. In 1899, the family’s first paid engagement as a trio at the Wonderland Theater in Wilmington, Delaware, Buster got laughs by bouncing the ball off his father’s head. #2 Buster’s life as a performer and creator was extremely successful for the first three decades of the new century, catapulting his family from the greenhorn fringes of the entertainment industry to its topmost tiers in a remarkably short span of time. #3 As the nineteenth century came to an end, child development was becoming more and more of a concern for governments and private organizations. Children were beginning to be seen as small, still-growing beings who were entitled to some degree of protection from both industrial and domestic harm. #4 The moral contiguity between the suffering of children and that of animals was heavily emphasized in the media coverage of the Mary Ellen Wilson case. The girl was seen as both a helpless little girl and a homeless beast, and was given the same rights as a domestic animal.
Emil Sher's acclaimed YA debut is now in paperback! T-- is used to getting grief. Grief from his mother, who worries about him constantly; grief from Mr. Lam, who runs the corner store and suspects every kid of stealing; grief from the trio of bullies he calls Joined at the Hip, whose cruelty has left T-- so battered he fears even his whole name could be used against him. But T-- has his own strength too: his camera, which he uses to capture the unique way he sees the world. His photos connect him to Ms. Karamath, the kind librarian at school; his friend Sean, whose passion for mysteries is matched only by his love for his dog, Watson; and most of all to Lucy, a homeless woman who shares his admiration for the photographer Diane Arbus. When Lucy is attacked by Joined at the Hip, T-- captures the assault on film. But those images lead him into even deeper trouble with the bullies, who threaten to hurt Sean if T-- tells. What's the right thing to do? Do pictures ever tell the whole truth? And what if the truth isn't always the right answer?
The first official White House videographer chronicles his time capturing behind-the-scenes moments of the president and his administration From the early months of the 2008 campaign and through the first two and a half years of the Obama administration, Arun Chaudhary had a unique perspective on the president of the United States. "I'm sort of like President Obama's wedding videographer," he explains, "if every day was a wedding with the same groom but a constantly rotating set of hysterical guests." Some of the moments Chaudhary captures are small, like the president throwing warm-up pitches deep inside Busch Stadium in St. Louis before the All-Star game. Some are intensely emotional, as when Obama comforts a grieving teenager whose father had died in a devastating tornado. And some are just plain bizarre—like getting thrown out of the Indian parliament by his belt, or being trapped in a White House bathroom while Obama conducts a YouTube town hall on the other side of the door. Film and politics have been intertwined ever since the first Edison reels rattled in projection halls a century ago. But with the advent of new technologies and a new public that is hungry for images of their leaders, Chaudhary has been in the right place at the right time to participate in the interplay of film and politics at the very highest level. His entertaining and eye-opening book—which includes stories and images of key players such as Barack and Michelle Obama, Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton, among others—gives readers a unique view of their government and their president in these historic and challenging times.

OVER THE TARGET... The movie camera in my hands was ready as we entered our run over the oil fields of Ploesti. Cracking towers, smokestacks, huge oil storage tanks and outbuildings almost scraped the Witch’s belly as we let go the incendiaries. Through the camera’s lens I saw a B-24 fly into a barrage balloon cable. The plane spun, corkscrewed to the ground and exploded. Beyond, I saw another smash into a smokestack and instantly dissolve into a fireball. The heat from the storage tank fires turned the Witch into an oven, searing my hair and eyebrows. I swung the camera to see planes crisscrossing, exploding in air, being swallowed up in the raging fires and curling black smoke. Ahead, four hundred deadly German fighters hovered high overhead—waiting for revenge.... This is the thrilling story of Sergeant Jerry Joswick, COMBAT CAMERAMAN Dodging bullets and bombs, he “shot” his way through some of the most savage fighting in World War II, taking memorable pictures of the terrible face of war— —in Africa, on a commando raid behind Rommel’s lines —on the disastrous Ploesti air raid, which he was the only cameraman of sixteen to survive —in the first wave of D-Day on Omaha Beach —in the Battle of the Bulge, where he traded camera for rifle to stay alive —parachuting into Germany with the Airborne Thrills, action, the shock of battle—and the determinate to get the picture, no matter what the danger—make COMBAT CAMERAMAN one of the most thrilling books to come out of the Second World War.
From acclaimed cultural and film historian James Curtis—a major biography, the first in more than two decades, of the legendary comedian and filmmaker who elevated physical comedy to the highest of arts and whose ingenious films remain as startling, innovative, modern—and irresistible—today as they were when they beguiled audiences almost a century ago. "It is brilliant—I was totally absorbed, couldn't stop reading it and was very sorry when it ended."—Kevin Brownlow It was James Agee who christened Buster Keaton “The Great Stone Face.” Keaton’s face, Agee wrote, "ranked almost with Lincoln’s as an early American archetype; it was haunting, handsome, almost beautiful, yet it was also irreducibly funny. Keaton was the only major comedian who kept sentiment almost entirely out of his work and . . . he brought pure physical comedy to its greatest heights.” Mel Brooks: “A lot of my daring came from Keaton.” Martin Scorsese, influenced by Keaton’s pictures in the making of Raging Bull: “The only person who had the right attitude about boxing in the movies for me,” Scorsese said, “was Buster Keaton.” Keaton’s deadpan stare in a porkpie hat was as recognizable as Charlie Chaplin’s tramp and Harold Lloyd’s straw boater and spectacles, and, with W. C. Fields, the four were each considered a comedy king--but Keaton was, and still is, considered to be the greatest of them all. His iconic look and acrobatic brilliance obscured the fact that behind the camera Keaton was one of our most gifted filmmakers. Through nineteen short comedies and twelve magnificent features, he distinguished himself with such seminal works as Sherlock Jr., The Navigator, Steamboat Bill, Jr., The Cameraman, and his masterpiece, The General. Now James Curtis, admired biographer of Preston Sturges (“definitive”—Variety), W. C. Fields (“by far the fullest, fairest and most touching account we have yet had. Or are likely to have”—Richard Schickel, front page of The New York Times Book Review), and Spencer Tracy (“monumental; definitive”—Kirkus Reviews), gives us the richest, most comprehensive life to date of the legendary actor, stunt artist, screenwriter, director—master.
