Leading theory: Prostatic Hypertrophy Distention Causing Uremia
A little more than I year ago I finally read the Erik Larson blockbuster thriller, The Devil in the White City. I thoroughly enjoyed that book for a number of reasons: the book was factual, with hundreds of sources cited; it was set in nineteenth century America, a time and place with which I am repeatedly fascinated; it chronicled the 1893 Columbian Exposition that arguably brought Chicago back from the fire; and it illuminated– in great detail– the actions of one of America’s very first known serial killers.
Larson’s follow-up book, Thunderstruck, returns to this formula of marrying two seemingly incongruous true stories: the scientific work of Guglielmo Marconi, inventor of wireless communication and the “North London Cellar Murder,” a bizarre and detailed murder that captured popular imagination even fifteen years after the events themselves. Larson delves into the development of technology from wireless, to steamships to the emergence of forensic science to capture the events of a time and place not so far removed from our own as to be unrecognizable.
I wanted to do something with a library with typography, because of the natural association between words and literature. Originally I was going to try to have the titles sticking out from the shelves, but i figured that would be too busy of an image and instead opted to put some words along the shelf.
To take this photo, I went to my library and took a shot of the bookcase on one of the aisles under normal lighting conditions.
To edit this, I made it black and white, heavily bumped my exposure and contrast sliders, and boosted the clarity and used the noise reduction feature. I then put it in photoshop to add the text, and put it back in lightroom for a final crop and a vignette.
The use of typography allows the artist to use not only pictures, but words, a very powerful medium for expressing feelings and emotions, to help convey their message more accurately.
