1. 作者自述——“胶片时代的上海”，这是陆元敏首次应邀写出自己的摄影心情: 我一直幻想一台眨一下眼就能拍摄的相机，LOMO相机在大多数情况下不用取景就可拍摄。它像是眼睛的延伸物，和眼睛有着一根看不见的连线，用它常常能拍到预想中的、甚至比预想得更好的影像......我又是一个有着反复拍摄热忱的人，生活安逸、身体健康，有很多的闲暇时间，只是不断流逝的时间使我心慌。当一个摄影家用相机抓住时光，拍取瞬间，带入暗房，巫术般地在微光下再现瞬间时，摄影术的整个过程都充满了神奇，只要享受它便会其乐无穷。 ...... 2. 作品——101幅，是陆元敏第一次使用Lomo相机，也是最后一次使用黑白胶片拍摄的作品 (拍摄于2005-2007年间) 3. 问与答——在网上征集到的11位豆友同陆元敏的38个对谈记录，涉及城市，生活和摄影: 您主要的拍摄对象是上海人，您觉得这些年来，上海人有什么大的变化？ 您对自己的照片有过失望和觉得苦闷的时候么？您是怎么越过这个阶段的？ 如何有一双慧眼，可能与每个人对生活的敏感程度不同有关，但是有啥适用大众的方法可以借鉴吗？ 怎样才能保持影像的活力？ 想知道您对喜爱街头摄影的年轻人有些什么可以说的？ ......

Berenice Abbott is one of the most significant figures in photography and her accomplishments in the field were more wide ranging than any of her contemporaries. Berenice Abbott not only offers a comprehensive retrospective of her complete oeuvre, encompassing all the primary projects she undertook in her 60 year career, but also presents this work in context with her other accomplishments: inventor, author, teacher and photo historian. This two volume book is the definitive publication on the life and work of one of the masters of the photographic medium. Volume I contains Abbott’s portraits beginning in Paris in the 1920s. They include many of the most notable and influential writers, artists, politicians and personalities of the day. Less known aspects of her work are also well represented, such as her images of the American Scene including her ground breaking US Route 1 project and her Portrait of Maine in the 1960s. Also in Volume I is Abbott’s final major undertaking considered by many to be her crowning achievement – documenting science. It consumed her from 1939 to1961, culminating with three triumphant years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, producing work of astounding beauty and clarity for the Physical Science Study Committee. Volume II is devoted to her photographs of New York. The monumental project Changing New York documenting the physical and social changes of the city in the 1930s is supplemented by her photographs prior to and after that work as well as those of Greenwich Village in 1947/1948.
