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!
In Changing Paris, Philip Trager traverses "the City of Light" along the course of the Seine, documenting the remarkable structures and spaces of this magnificent city, which has so often used the river as a point of reference in its architectural planning. Trager's luminous photographs reference the nineteenth-century works of forebears Edouard Baldus, Henri Le Secq, Gustave Le Gray, and Eugene Atget, whose architectural photographs reflect both the transformations and the timelessness of Paris.
Among the structures and sites that Philip Trager photographs are the Grands Projets (including the new Bibliotheque Nationale de France Francois Mitterrand, Opera Bastille, Grande Arche de la Defense, and I. M. Pei's monumental glass pyramid additions to the Louvre), as well as the Place de la Concorde, Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, the Tour Eiffel, Musee d'Orsay, beautiful gardens, and the magnificent bridges that span the Seine. Trager captures the spirit of the places he photographs with a profound mastery of light and a unique, contemporary vision. At the same time, Changing Paris is an important document of Paris in the 1990s, with insightful essays by Pierre Borhan and Diane Johnson and informative commentary by Thomas Mellins on the architectural history and significance of these structures.
Philip Trager has received international critical acclaim for his photography, particularly within the genre of architectural photography. His previous books include Echoes of Silence (1972), Photographs of Architecture (1977), Philip Trager: New York (1980), The Villas of Palladio (1986), Dancers (1992), and Persephone (1996). Trager's work is included in numerous museum collections including the Bibliotheque Nationale, the Canadian Centre for Architecture, the Center for Creative Photography, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art.
"Trager is a direct descendant of the masters of the calotype: Edouard Baldus, Henri Le Secq, and Gustave Le Gray ... yet he blazed a path independently of his early forebears ... [h]e experiences time in the least human of its dimensions: the experience of timelessness." —Pierre Borhan
Well known for such previous books as The Villas of Palladio and Dancers, Trager here takes the viewer along the River Seine in Paris, France. In the tradition of great architectural photography, Trager's sublime imagery reveals the sculptural magnificence of buildings and their ornaments.
