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!
Selected as a Book of the Week by Alec Soth
Out of Print. Numbered Edition of 100.
In theory, family is a community established primarily on the basis of emotional solidarity, providing basic needs, regulating moral life in society and being one of the three pillars of its support (the other two are the market and the State). Family ties in Latin America are important and present at all stages of personal life. The family moderates and sustains relations at practically all levels. The representation of the family is an important part of Colombian artist Guadalupe Ruiz’s work.
In search of what she calls a “domestic epiphany”, the artist questions stereotypes and documents sadness, failures, joys and novelties. “I portray members of my own family in particular manner in an attempt to direct the spectator’s eye to what I consider to be really important in describing my characters, trying to capture the exact moment when something happens in life” says Guadalupe.
Her work is documentary, apparently without any prior preparation of her subjects, and seeks to capture slices of everyday life, at time with tenderness and some bitterness by challenging issues related to identity and social representations, and at other times with humor and refined irony – family poetics ready to challenge clichés.
