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!

Captains of the Dead Sea examines how the experience of place is influenced by the way in which the world has been previously photographed. A visitor can stand in Death Valley, for example, and realize that it ‘looks like’ Mars... or the Moon... or a scene from Star Wars. At its core, Captains of the Dead Sea considers the cinematic use of landscape-as-location, the role of the American desert, and the implications of how the boundaries between documentary and fictional narrative have become blurred.
Based in Los Angeles, Alia Malley received her BA in Critical Film Studies from University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts, and her MFA in Visual Arts from University of California Riverside. She works with photography and video to explore modes of representation — specifically the roles of landscape, cinematic narrative of place, technology, and human geography in structures of power.
Malley’s work is held in numerous private and public collections, among them the permanent collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the UCLA Library Special Collections, and the Beth Rudin DeWoody Collection.
Captains of the Dead Sea is limited to 500 numbered copies, each including a 5x7 inch original print that has been signed by the artist.
