Rock In A Landslide
By Geoffrey Biddle
Published 2023
This intimate, moving memoir traces the relationship between photographer Geoffrey Biddle and his late wife, the sculptor Mary Ann Unger. Biddle’s photographs and narration recount the couple’s charged partnership, their parallel creative practice, and the East Village factory space they shared as home and studio. Their “Great Collaboration” was daughter Eve, whose joyous birth was soon tempered by Unger’s breast cancer diagnosis and thirteen-year journey of treatment and recurrence. Biddle edits and frames his images with the clarifying distance of time — making sense of the immediacy and tidal emotions enshrined in the photographs.
Eve and Me
By Geoffrey Biddle
Published 2023
Eve and Me was conceived as a gift from photographer Geoffrey Biddle to his daughter Eve, a testimony to their shared experience and singular bond. A chronological series of father/daughter self-portraits begins with Eve's birth and concludes twenty-two years later after the death from cancer of his wife and her mother, artist Mary Ann Unger. Biddle writes directly to Eve in brief accompanying texts that illuminate sweet, happy details of their lives and acknowledge the emotional strain of Unger’s diagnosis and long battle to stay alive.
Game Face: what does a female athlete look like?
By Jane Gottesman
Published 2003; eBook 2013
Jane Gottesman began creating this volume in response to the scarcity of photographs of female athletes in newspapers and sports magazines. The resulting collection of pictures by photographers from around the world, accompanied by first-person stories by women in sports, serves to chronicle the dynamic growth of female sports and explore the physical and emotional pleasures of competition and play. Each image addresses the question at the heart of Game Face: What do girls and women look like when freed from traditional feminine constraints, using their bodies in joyful and empowering ways?
