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 first visited Dhaka in May 2013. When I finished shooting all the black and white film I’d brought, I sourced some colour negative stock locally, but the place where I had it developed didn’t dry the film properly, so the shots came out splotchy. Humidity soars so high in the monsoon season that laundry and film never dry. I returned to Japan with my ruined film and set it aside for a year, until it occurred to me, This is the real Dhaka! So this past spring, I took my once-useless film and put together the photobook Dhaka.
That book left me with unfinished business. I couldn’t get Dhaka out of my head, so at the end of April 2015, I hopped a plane back.
Two years had passed but the city hadn’t changed that much. Some roads previously under construction were finished, and perhaps the main thoroughfares had a few more traffic lights. Otherwise my impressions remained largely the same. The screaming children were still startlingly healthy and happy. The paddle-steamers and horsecarts still plied their routes, though it bothered me not to see certain familiar faces — the woman crouching by the side of the road, drinking muddy yellow water from a ditch, the barefoot woman huddled asleep in a corner of the bus terminal below the hotel, that skinny boy who looked so sad even when I handed him a memento snapshot. Many people don’t have a single photo of themselves, so even cheap digital camera prints are treasured. I wanted to give photos to everyone whose picture I took, but I still have a few candid portraits in hand.
Bangladesh is one of the most impoverished countries in Asia. A heavy burden is borne by those on the bottom, especially helpless women and children. Why can’t the world show more consideration to these poor but honest and kind people? My lasting impression is of how Dhaka overflows with raw humanity and power. It is not a place where people's pursuit of money warps their nature, or sends them into depression. More than in any other city I’ve visited, people of Dhaka were friendly, not standoffish or miserly in the least."
-Yamauchi Michio, excerpt from the afterword.
