The explosive growth in photography book publishing has presented photo-eye with an interesting challenge along with what we think is an exciting opportunity.
How can we continue to offer an ever-increasing inventory of photography books, keep those books continuously in stock and compete with the online deep discounters on price and shipping? The answer is that we can shift much our fullfillment to the web's most efficient book operation, Amazon.com.
Now we are happy to offer you Amazon's discounts on books which are almost always in stock from either Amazon directly or Amazon Marketplace. We can also provide you with the same shipping options that Amazon provides, including on qualified orders, free shipping.
It's important to understand that you will still be supporting photo-eye if you order from Amazon or Amazon Marketplace through photoeye.com. We make it easy for you to do this by providing a dual shopping cart system with separate checkouts.
However, you may still opt to purchase a particular title from photo-eye directly even though the same book is available through Amazon at a less expensive price.
Book publishing is not a perfect industry. Though all books are imperfect in some subtle way, we want to be as accurate as possible on our website if we know that there is a problem with a particular book. Imperfections range from a rubbed dustjacket, a small tear in the dustjacket, or a corner of the book being bumped. No fundamental flaw should be part of an imperfect book's condition. E-mail us our call 505.988.5152 should you have questions prior to ordering a particular imperfect book.
Place your order now and we'll send you the item when it arrives.
You will not be charged until your order ships.
An additional change will be added to the standard handling charge for this item as it is a foreign publication and shipping expenses from foreign countries is extremely expensive or it requires a larger, more expensive box or it requires extra care in handling. Thank you for understanding!
When American photographer Kevin Horan moved from city to country, his new neighbours—sheep—greeted him in a chorus of such different voices that he imagined they were individuals. In-depth experience in making portraits of humans made him wonder if the process could be applied to these creatures as well.
Treated as customers of the local photo studio, they seem to have personalities. Perhaps they do, and the photograph allows us to see them. Or perhaps the language of the photo cues us to see them as non-human persons. We respond to gesture in such an elemental way. It’s in our nervous system. It is what photography is so good at catching. It is what actors are good at producing. It is how we communicate with one another non-verbally.
This is a stunning work about portraiture: what it does and how it works. These pictures ask for engagement of our own feelings about the souls within other beings, human or otherwise, and how visible they are from out here.
The world around us is pulsing with life and intelligence, even if we don’t know what to make of it or how to connect. While it is plain to anyone carefully observing that these farm animals do indeed have individual personalities, Horan asks himself: How can I be certain I’ve captured them? Can I bridge the cross-species gap? Who’s in there? What is going on in that brain, inside the goat’s mind? Every portrait is a work of fiction.
These farm species have lived alongside us—served us—from the earliest times. If we care enough to give our attention in a focused way, the result is beauty and homage. They are worthy of that. When we draw a hard line between humans and everything else, we make the world a smaller place—for us. A place where we spend all our efforts obsessed with our own tribe . . . a less interesting place.
