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!
"I was bemused and, to be honest, a bit skeptical when in the Spring of 2012 my friend, Duncan Meeder, proposed that I do a project with the Rolleiflex Twin Lens Reflex 6x6. Hmmm… not really my format, I thought. My camera of choice for the last forty years has been and remains the 8x10 view camera. But I was flattered by Duncan's proposal because the work he proposed would accompany a beautiful, multicolored edition of the camera bearing my name. This was too good to resist - not least of all because I knew what an illustrious history this camera has had. The instrument of choice for photographers as diverse as Diane Arbus and Vivian Maier, the Rolleiflex has been delivering brilliant results for may decades. So Duncan's proposal felt like both a nice compliment and an engaging challenge.
Four months and hundreds of rolls of film later, Duncan and I sat down and edited this book. Editing books is always agonizing because of all that must be cut away to arrive at a final choice, but in this instance it was a particular trial.
The Rollei had given me so many fine pictures! My technique with the 8x10 camera is necessarily deliberate and classical - it is not exactly lightning-quick.
I carried that formal method forward into this project as well, but as was agreeably surprised by how the camera took over and let me shoot with more spontaneity than ever the 8x10 allows. So the work in this book departs a bit from the solemnity that people who are kind enough to attend to my work have known up till now. As I had hoped might be the case, I learned something - ever my ambition.
This project had its origins in the notion of an adventure with a camera. But finally, if it is a success, it is because of the beauty and character lent to me by the models here depicted. They are my great wealth in the world." —Jock Sturges
