"An unparalleled exploration of the art of cameraless photography, Geoffrey Batchen's Emanations offers an authoritative and lavishly illustrated history of photographs made without a camera. The book reveals the myriad approaches that artists have employed to create photographic images using only a light-sensitive surface and a source of radiation. Looking back to the invention of photography in the early 19th century up through recent cameraless works by contemporary artists, Emanations tells the story of nearly 200 years of bold experimentation in photography."--Provided by publisher.

The Cycle of Emanations - From the Source to the Return "Emanations" is a spiritual and philosophical journey that invites us to explore the essence of the universe and the self. Through a narrative that weaves together ancient esoteric traditions, such as Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, and Kabbalah, the book reveals the deep interconnectedness between the cosmos and the primordial source of all existence. The text guides us through the stages of creation, where everything that exists, from the stars to the human soul, is an emanation of a singular absolute force. This energy, which flows incessantly from the cosmic center, gives rise to what we know as reality, while simultaneously concealing a greater truth, hidden beneath layers of light and shadow. Every fragment of matter, every being, carries a spark of this primordial light, even when immersed in the density of material existence. As the narrative unfolds, we are led to understand that nothing in the universe is truly separate. The multiplicity we perceive is merely the expression of divine unity, and the path back to the original source is inevitable. The fall of light that forms the material world is simultaneously a fall into ignorance, but also an opportunity to return to wisdom. With its mystical and enigmatic tone, the book challenges the reader to look beyond appearances and seek the lost link that connects the material world with the spiritual. Here, the apparent chaos dissolves into an ordered cosmic dance, where every action and thought is part of an eternal cycle of emanation and return. Immersed in this work, the reader not only discovers a new paradigm of reality but also an invitation to actively participate in this flow, aligning with higher energies and rediscovering the unity behind the diversity.

Beth Ryder knows she's different. In a tiny rural town, being an orphaned and perpetually single amateur photographer crippled by panic disorder is pretty much guaranteed to make you stick out like a sore thumb. But Beth doesn't understand just how different she really is. One day, strange things start cropping up in her photos. Things that don't look human. Impossible things. Monstrosities. Beth thinks her hateful sister-in-law, Justine, has tampered with her pictures to play a cruel joke, but rather than admitting or denying it, Justine up and vanishes, leaving the family in disarray. Beth's search for Justine plunges her into a world she never knew existed, one filled with ancient and terrifying creatures. Both enemies and allies await her there—a disturbingly sexy boss, a sentient wolf with diamond fur, body-snatching dinosaur-birds. Separating the allies from the enemies is no easy chore, but in this strange new world, allies are a necessity. A plot is afoot, and Beth—whose abilities no one seems able to explain—may well hold the key to solving it. Nolander is the first novel in the fantasy series Emanations. The second novel, Solatium, and a short story, "Theriac," are also available. The Emanations Series Of all the beings that have lived on Earth, what if just a few had the power to make new realities, according to their desires? What would they create? The Second Emanation: a shadow world where ancient creatures persist, where humanity's dominance is far less certain, where wonder competes with horror. A world like an autumn forest, its realities as multiple and layered as fallen leaves. The world that gives us our gods. In Becca Mills's Emanations series, this strange and magical world crosses paths with a seemingly ordinary young woman from the American Midwest. It'll never be the same again. Reviews "This is among the best of the urban fantasy genre, and it is a wonder why a major publisher has yet to pick it up. Mills has given us such a dynamic world with vibrant characters and multiple plot lines that really bring it all to life." - Twisting the Lens "I simply loved Nolander. I'm going to put it out there and say that this is one of the best debut fantasy books I've read this year! It was that fantastic." - scifinerdsare.us "Nolander was a highly entertaining read. Each time I thought I had a handle on what was going on and what was going to come next the plot would take a turn to something completely unexpected. Becca Mills has created a very vibrant world full of unique creatures and happenings where just about anything you can imagine is possible." - The Dragon's Inkpot Series keywords: fantasy, urban fantasy, contemporary fantasy, fantasy series, speculative fiction, hard fantasy, dark fantasy, paranormal, female protagonist, female main character, science fantasy, action, adventure, monsters, deities, gods, demons, dragons, dying earth, action, fantasy action, magic, alternative history, parallel world, free, freebie

This volume is a remarkable historical survey of photographic images created without a camera. Cameraless Photography presents a concise historical overview of photographic images created independently of a camera. It surveys the corresponding techniques—including photograms, chemigrams, luminograms, dye destruction prints, and more—used to create those images. The book features one hundred key images from more than one hundred and seventy years of history, ranging from the earliest experiments in chemical photography, such as those by Anna Atkins in the nineteenth century, through seminal avant-garde photograms of modernists such as Man Ray in the 1920s and 1930s to the latest digital processes by Susan Derges. Visually compelling, Cameraless Photography is an outstanding introduction to the significant cameraless processes used throughout the history of photography and the cameraless work of some of photography’s greatest names.

It is with these deeply personal questions that Rabbi Ashlag opens his Introductions. Moving easily from the experience of the individual to the role of humankind in Creation and back again, he teaches the interplay of light with its vessel. It is this dynamic that makes up the drama of the Creator in relationship to the creation. Evil, suffering, compassion and joy are shown to each have its place as the path unfolds from concealment of the Source to the full experience of Divine love. Rabbi Ashlag teaches Kabbalah, not as an esoteric study limited to the mystically inclined, but as a universal pathway of the spirit. Many books are available about Kabbalah. This book is Kabbalah itself. Its uniqueness lies in that it contains authentic texts of Kabbalah, yet it is accessible to the general reader as a result of the clarity of the translation and the easy style of the explanations.
