Documentary and fine art photographer Henry Jacobson is completing his first book, called Postcards Home, which is a collection of iPhone images he sent to his loved ones or posted on social networks while he was living a nomadic existence for almost three years. Jacobson says the images reveal the palatable essence of a period of “personal upheaval, of endings and beginnings of very important relationships, of illnesses and deaths and births.” He views the work not as a set of photographs, but rather as a series of direct communications that speak to the idea of exploring the changing landscape of photography in the mobile, socially-networked age. Daylight Books will publish Postcards Home next fall.

From 1994 to 2002, Robert Capa Gold Medal recipient Bruce Haley traversed the former Soviet Bloc, photographing war-torn settlements, disfigured industrial sites, and rural landscapes and isolated villages seemingly frozen in time. He combined this disparate subject matter, shot in both 35mm and panoramic formats, in his new monograph, Sunder, just published jointly by Daylight Books and Charta Art Books.  The 144-page book includes a foreword by Dina and Clint Eastwood, and an essay by Romanian poet and NPR commentator Andrei Codrescu.
